Wow those are all great - the awesome photography really makes the colours pop off the screen!!

The weasel is my favourite - is that a custom helmet?

Hey folks, here is an update of my latest works...



A commission for a 30th Ann. Viper in my 2009 Python Patrol Croc Master colors.
After joints were trimmed an all black base coat was applied to the entire figure then all colors were applied by hand/brush.
No factory paint or plastic can be seen.




























Another Phasing Master Chief !
Commissioned by a big Halo fan !!!
Started with an all clear figure(McFarlane Halo 3 Legendary Collection, active camo) then painted all colors by hand/brush.
This is about 6" tall.

























Retaliation Cobra Trooper.
Saw this guy in the store and was gonna pass...then I thought.....REPAINT !!!
More of a classic color theme...
After joints were trimmed an all black base coat was applied.
All colors were added by brush/hand, no factory paint or plastic can be seen.
I attempted a Cobra symbol on the helmet, turned out pretty weak...
It'll have to do for now, gotta get back on other projects :D

Amazing job on that Halo fig!  I love the blend right where the 'invisible' portion meets your painted segment; flawless! 

Nice job on the new Cobra trooper repaint...did you repaint the entire blue portion of the body or just darken it with multiple washes?  I can tell that the belts, etc. have been redone, but can't tell with the blue of his uniform...

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Love the paint technique!  You and Stronox have a similar style that I admire greatly.  I love the way you both apply your washes on your figures.  How do you do it?  It's awesome! I'd love to learn.

Triple T, those customs are really superb! I love the dry brushing / edge detailing, it's perfectly done.

Oh, and I hope you don't mind, but I created an image of your trooper...You've been Hangarbay'd mon brav!

I think I saw your Cobra Trooper on Hisstank. He looks great. When you say you trimmed the joints before painting. What exactly are you doing. I'm always looking to learn new tricks.

^^^ I believe what he means, is that prior to applyin' paint he "lightly" sands the jointed areas - either by hand or dremel (be careful if dremellin') to relieve the areas slightly - therefore greatly reducing the chances of paint rub - the bane of all customizers...

These new figs are SICK!  A prepping/painting tutorial would be greatly appreciated.
