I'm a big fan of the skin tones the original toys had, and just had to paint these figs using them.

Yeah, I tried sealing them after painting them, but it didn't work . So, I had to coat them with super glue. Not exactly what I wanted to do, but it worked.

I really appreciate the compliment, hitmonkey. After working on these for hours upon hours to get the skin tones I was happy with, doing dry-brushing and washes to bring out all the details in the sculpts, and trying to figure out a way to eliminate paint rub on the weapons, it's nice to know someone thinks so highly of the results of my work.

Thanks, Pagong! These figures really are awesome. I can't praise the sculpts enough. Painting them really helps bring out all the details in the sculpts that you don't really get with the factory paint job. The person that sculpted these really did an amazing job.
