My 1st ever custom revisited

Post by Thundershot »

Hi all,

I've never been truly happy my first custom figure (a very simple head swap & repaint), & re-evaluating why, I knew what was bugging me... it was the pistol holster.

So, as the beret was looking tatty & needed a re-paint, I got a bit brave & using my trusty Stanley Knife removed the holster (& the shoulder 'pips' too).

Looks good. What about painting the belt black - that would give a nice break in the green.

I used bestial brown on my Z Force Captain that brings the belt out wonderfully

Looks really nice for a first custom. I agree with the belt.

Very nice, that's about right for the palitoy vibe.
