1:18th scale "Retro Zartan" WITH COLOR CHANGE!!!
This is another figure that took parts from just about every line of 1:18th scale toys out there 😁😁😁, and just to add an extra challenge, I had to make him with his color change gimmick, because what would a Retro Zartan be without it? It was quite a challenge getting the color change deep enough for my liking, and for some reason it doesn't photograph as deep a shade as it turns in person. Maybe I'll post some WIP pics if you guys are interested. He'll be on eBay for the next 7 days, and after that I'm keeping this bad boy if he doesn't sell. Link in bio. Enjoy!

Yeah, this is terrific! So cool. How did you do the color-change? Is it a paint?

I was wrong, sure, but I always thought it was long hair lol |

Zartan is my favorite Cobra and you really did him justice. I love everything about this from the figure to the swamp skier to the pictures. Thank you for sharing this.

Great ideas for Zartan. Converting the speeder into the swamp skier for one! It looks much faster than the original. The green is just right. Most of all this is a great build for Zartan, and it goes without saying that the photos are awesome. I wouldn?t want to muck around with this muck- fighter! He looks dirty as a swamp menace should be. Not sure if it?s been done before to do the color change thing but I?m impressed you got it to work at all!

There was a LOT of trial and error; because at 1st I was layering on the mixture and was barely getting the effect to work. Then I upped the pigment ratio and that worked; although it's much more pronounced in person than it is in pictures for some reason... Thanks again for the questions, interest and feedback! HM

Fantastic paint work.
The color set works with the outdoors environment. |
