I really love how clean the paint looks

Actually Candy Kappa is right, it is the gray shirt that I painted over. My original plan was to use the base figure without the shirt, but the body looked unfinished and would require sculpting, so I decided to put the shirt back on since it made him look muscular, and the cape covers the collar, after painting it I don’t see the shirt anymore. Also the shoulder armor and belt is attached to the shirt, another reason I chose this method.

This must have taken you months to work on a project like this.

Well done!
Hey thanks! I appreciate the compliments! Yup nostalgia is the whole reason I wanted to paint these, especially with the vintage style collector case. Actually this took about a month and a half, just worked on it in my spare time.

Shirtless Shredder will never fail to amuse me, though, no matter what its form. Why did that even happen?
Krang is removable he comes with a tripod roller I just prefer to keep him in the walker. And yes shirtless Shredder is awesome, I too wonder how Playmates came up with that idea.
