This is my latest project. Not really a custom, but a restoration of an older toy I got off eBay. As you can see, it was in pretty bad shape. The stickers were crooked and backwards and falling apart, some kid wrote on it with a marker, and the paint was worn in places. The plastic, however was still in good shape.
I scrubbed off the old paint with a wire brush, gave it a new paint job, and added reproduction stickers. I'm quite pleased with it. The tan color is not the same as the original brown, but I think I like it better and the transition between colors is extremely smooth. I repainted the roll bar just because I think it looks better black. Every reference I looked at had the stickers arranged differently, so I just stuck them on wherever I thought they looked good. The last step will be finding a weapon system. I still have the original missile launcher, but I'm unhappy with it and I will try to create something a little more unique.
