nice job looks better than original...what type of paint do you use? cause i use the testers model kit paint (not sure if thats an oil based or if it makes a diff.)it never seems to dry all the way and a little sticky even after a week it would still leave finger prints on the figure. just curious

You're using the wrong kind of paint. You're using enamel, which is used only for painting metal. That's why it won't dry on plastic. Buy acryl.

Yeah thats cool-I did the same thing to a beat up old shredder I had!
I didnt think to do his eyes though-seeing this has got me thinking :)
(I thought the eyes on yours were and are fine)

Ive repainted shredder, and 3 genghis' as napoleon, attila and rasputin-all with citadel/games workshop paints.

Pics or it didnt happen I know (no camera,honest)
