Nick Turtles Finally Completed w/Weapons

Love what you did with the skin tone.
I also had problems with the paint rubbing off on the weapons when I did mine. End up using markers and sealing them and then just pretty much leaving them alone...for a very very long time. That seemed to work

Great color distinctions ! I especially like the more olive green on Donny. :D

Wow, how cool! You did a great job I really like the colors.

They look fantastic. Well done man!

Loving these dude. They look awsome!

These are the most amazing customs I've ever seen, sincerely. So amazed by these.

They look beautiful.

Great paint job! Seeing these awesome customizations makes me love these figures more and more. I like what you did with the shell. Great job!

Thanks, for the positive feedback, everyone!

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.

Out of all the repaints of the Nick turtles, these are by far my favourites. Love the colours used, love the smoothness, love that you didn't go overboard with washes... They're perfect.

I take this as an awesome compliment coming from someone of your caliber. Thanks, man!

Paint jobs look awesome. I think Mikey looks the best. The weapons look extra sweet. Never was a fan of swapping Leo and Don's head, but non the less, they all look great.

These look fantastic. I really love the color matching you did to the '88 line, and as Discogod said, I like that you didn't go overboard with the washes.

Excellent work. Be proud of these.

Thanks, for the kind words, guys!

Really great work! First customs I've ever seen that would actually be worth the ridiculous price I've seen some being sold for on eBay.

...I wonder what other head swaps would work for these turtles....

Yeah, I decided on a price that I wouldn't have a problem with letting them go at. I'm not really trying to sell them right away, but if they sell, cool. If they don't, no biggie. Though, I would come down on the price if someone wanted to do it through PayPal instead of ebay, since I wouldn't have to pay the ebay fees. Not to mention there's some wiggle room for what I would let them go for. Hence the "Best Offer" option.

I love these! Planning on doing the same thing myself. What do you use for paints? I have a ton of Citadel around from my 40K hobbying; I wanted to at least do some washes and paint the weapons.
