After I got the new Shippy, I couldn't wait. I made a quick 50th Outback.
I was able to dremel out some notches for the flashlight: It's not clean yet, but I painted over the chest and star, and made a new T-shirt decal: If I can learn how to remove decals and tattoos, I may go back and remove the Navy, star, and R forearm tattoo to make it complete. Then I don't have to try and paint match. I know the feet aren't true, but for some reason, the DG Shippy legs are awesome to me. I just hope the club adds a red head new Outback head as an add on for the TF Outback. I hope you all like!!!

Almost perfect. Would love to see him in a tucked combat boot.

Looks really good man. I occasionally use some diluted lighter fluid or really really diluted goof off to remove tats and decals.

That looks very good. For me, I removed the tattoo and NAVY using Isopropyl Alcohol that I have at work. It works really nice, but have to use sparingly.
Here's how it looks after removing: I forgot to remove the star so I ended up painting over it as I had to paint the black armband anyways.

Thanks. Did you use Q-tip and gently wipe it away, or a paper towel and scrub it off?
Also, I don't mind the black armband. It's in memorial of a fallen comrade.

I used a towel and rubbed it, but was very careful to use as little as possible and mixed in a little water. Just make sure you don't saturate the area.
I use the tip of the paper tower and use my nail to try to touch only the paint to remove. If you use too much, the luster will wipe away and you'll see dull spots. If you are doing it right, you'll see some of the paint bleed off and smudge, just keep working at the paint and then the smudges to get it off.
