I have darkened up this guys pouches and collar, also lightened his hair a little so he is looking more like the original, just need to perfect that logo !

the second pic shows my first and second attempts along with the original.

That is looking fantastic! I reckon you could shave the lower edge off the chevrons with a single stroke of orange. Also, I know I said it before but his rocket logo has to match his patches

oh.. I never really noticed those chevronny things were thicker than the original, when I get around to sorting the logo I will thin those out a bit as well.

still cant decipher that lettering on his chest, might have to wait until mister Tree can get us a better pic?

What is that bluish grey hair colour? I'm strating to wonder if my multiple figures need some hair colour variataions and facial hair customising...

Cheers. I've been meaning to ask where to get Games Workshop paints from. Ar they available in all Modeller's shops, or just from GW?

I usually but mine in toytown, its our local toy and model shop.

however ... it costs about 2 quid a pot, although buying from ebay with postage could be harsher !

what colour do you use for shadow red? ive bought a few from there and havent found a good match... they dont seem to apply as well as humbrol enamels either but thay might be me doing something wrong...

I'm mostly interested in the Space Force colours Scooby found, as I haven't found a proper matching spray paint anywhere. How are they to use on vehicles as opposed to figures?

Still wanting a proper Z Force green too.

I usually use "blood red" which is a little too light, however I have just purchased a pot of "red gore" which I think maybe slightly too dark, although I havent used it on a shadow yet.

I would have to disagree with the application .... I find these paints far superior to humbrol, in fact once i started using these I binned most of my humbrol pots !

they are water based paints and seem to apply very smoothly ( except for the white ) and when the paint dries ( in about 10 minutes) it is waterproof !
