Great tweaks.

Thank you! Here is the finished Zartan: I removed the gauntlets from his forearms, dremeled the forearm flat, painted flesh over it and a little bit of mod podge for some shine, drybrushed purple/brown onto his cloth parts, and painted his knife blade.

I was going to wait for the retro storm shadow, but I found the main line release at a GameStop; so once I realized the only difference was the forearms, I went ahead and bought it in order to customize. So I repainted the gray of his leg wraps and wrist wraps white after dremeling off the armor pieces on his forearms. I painted his hands to get as close of a match to his arms as I could, and took the sash piece, cut it shorter, and attached it to his left hip.

I recently got a 1:6 50 CAL Browning from an Etsy seller, so I spray-painted and weather in a little bit, and gave it to Roadblock. Here are a couple pics of that with the slight paint job I gave his gloves, and holsters:

And what could be considered the most minor custom upgrade: I repainted the standard version of the Crimson Guard backpack red instead of the black it was originally. I also got rid of the sword!
