25th Buzzer tweaked to vintage style.
Still a work in progress as I plan to switch out the arms when I get hold of some suitable replacements and the paint needs some minor finishing (looks better in person than in pics). So far mods done incl removing the goatee,armour off the shoulder & upper arm and removed the pad on his right arm. Does anybody know whats best to use for paint removal without damaging the plastic? He's still got a bit of silver in the shoulder joints that I can't get at with sandpaper. |
