Thanks!
I dedicate this, my 9,999th post to you guys, the I.G's. Such good times in this thread, so many Aquatards, so many kick ass customs. Let's not forget all the dick & fart jokes. So many laughs, such stupidity, you guys (and gals) are the best |

Guys,
Anyone interested in helping me kick-start this with some suggestions? The Paint Matching Thread Thanks in advance! Annihilator purple (Tamiya X-16 Purple) also very very close to original color Python Patrol dark grey (Tamiya XF-63 German Grey) Python Patrol light grey (Tamiya XF-19 Sky Grey) You can do it! in Rob Schneider voice.

If only I were as clever and gifted at making money as I am at maximizing action figure display space...

Annihilator orange (Tamiya XF-3 Flat Yellow & Tamiya XF-7 Flat Red) turns out damn close to exact match of ARAH vintage color!
Annihilator purple (Tamiya X-16 Purple) also very very close to original color Python Patrol dark grey (Tamiya XF-63 German Grey) Python Patrol light grey (Tamiya XF-19 Sky Grey) I added those suggestions to the thread. Feel free to post them there yourself! I really want the answers to a few of them (particularly the Wolverine). This is my way of helping others while I help myself. ;) |

The hard part with matching vintage colors now is unless you have an exact idea from Hasbro with the color name, etc., after 20-30 years now (depending on what item) is dealing with faded colors from dirt, dust, sunlight, etc. The drab green from Wolverine, Vamp, MOBAT, HAL, Whirlwind, RAM, MMS, etc. might be close to Krylon Ultra Flat Green spray (from the camoflauge line) but I have never used the green. The Ultra Flat Tan is perfect match to the 25th Desert Extreme Cobra colors though, I have painted a 25th Stinger, 25th Arctic HISS, 25th MOBAT and 2 vintage STUNs with this color and they are perfect match with the light tan from the uniforms for the Desert Cobra figures! I haven't taken pics of them yet because I have been waiting for the damn snow to be gone and then go down to the beach (or camp pond) and use the dirt to make it like a desert dio backdrop! I could snap some pics later today with them next to some of the desert figs for comparrison of the colors.

The VAMP, RAM, Armadillo, SLAM and HAVOC were all very close, too - but those were all a much lighter and brighter green than the first grouping. |
