Pretty cool. Just need to clean up the painting a bit and that comes with practice. Nice job on your first. Now just copy and past that IMG code(s) to your post and we can all see it here. Like so:

Way to step into the customizing arena! Once you start, you'll get hooked. Just to echo what Carstein said, the painting takes practice. But it'll come. The skin tone looks good. I actually didn't realize that was Bazooka's head and arms at first. Good first effort!

hey man, i will only encourage you to do more, you can never expect your first to be grand. it takes time an practice to be elite. some can get it first try, some have to work for it. when you are doing your painting, just take your time..
where did you get the football missle from? |

Pretty cool take on The Fridge man.
Whatever you used for the flesh tone came out excellent. with lighter paints such as yellow orange and white the key is multiple thin layers. 5 thin coats looks better then on thick coat any day of the week. It's a pain in the ass but the end result is better. I'm in the process of making a figure with a white shirt and I've been at it for a while. It gets frustrating because you have the vision of the end product in your head. Just remember "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" also head on down to michaels or your local craft store and invest in a big bag of brushes. Gotta use the right tool for the right job. A good primer coat of light grey works really well as well. Very good for a first custom, Mine was a damn train wreck. Keep them coming! |

i used citadel foundation khemri brown, for the skin, and i made the football rocket, using a 25th ann bazooka rocket, and a broken football on a stick, that originaly came with the fridge.

brilliant, did you just glue it on, or did you drill a hole then glue it in?
