Casey "custom" (part way finished)

[Sniper33]

Alright decided that I wanted to try to finish up Casey to make him a tad bit more movie accurate.



*Painted the mask a silver with the black markings. (Might darken it up later on)
*Painted the bandage tape on his left arm white.
*Silvered up the metal on his gloves.
*Colored up the belt metals.
*Started the kneepads. (Gonna add some brown to it to make it dirtyed up)

Gonna have to redue the pads some to clean up the edges some, and will be painting the boots brown and white to finish it up.

Looking very nice!! Good job.

I especially like what you did with his mask.

ooh...niiice. show more show more.

[AquaParade]

Ya good job, I'd also like to see more if you've done anything else.

i like how the funny placement makes it look like raph is about to have leo for dinner.

Got idea from seeing the guy that posted his over at spawns messageboard, and then reposted by another member here. But the light colored skin bothered me some, so I wanted to make the color more simular to the statue turtles.

Spent some good time getting Leo almost preped up. Just need to give him a second or third layer of paint on his upper body, and clean up any edges that I find. Plus wanna see what I can do to the yellow on the body. Came out a little darker then I wanted, but I think it still looks pretty good, darker then Raph so it doesnt just look like another ralp fix....much anyways. I got the others started but spent to much time on the bandannas and eyes, and even then its not the best looks.

Heading off to bed for the night, and then wont be back from work until like 530 or so, so hopfully Ill get to finish Casey and Leo and maybe some good progress on the other guys.

Well the mask I tried to make it like the movies.



You can see the markings on the mask in the picture kinda. Think I just need to darken it up some so it looks more accurate and such. Mask isn't fully black, just a dark metal like color thingy, which is why I went with silver for now. This was just incase you were saying that you liked it, but it wasnt the way it was supposed to be.

I just saw the movie again today and I noticed that the shirt he's wearing underneath the armor is gray, not red. Unless my eyes were playing tricks on me.

Hmm, your right about that, the shirt he wears is grey....so I might have to darken up his armor some so the grey shirt wont blend in to much with the rest.

Great work, what kinda paints did you use, if I may ask?

[Buslady]

yeah i wanna know what paint wil dry and not be sticky to the touch! I want to do repaints on some figs but what paint to use? I tried to repaint a 13" movie raph awhile back and the paint never dried, i ruined it.

[Sniper33]

Well most of the paint that I use is:

Apple Barrel Colors:
Acrylic Paint

Ah ic you should really try to use Liquitex paint on figures it works quite nicely.

[Zeno]

I just use these paints cause these are the ones I had at the house, and they had worked many times in the past so figured why change it....unless the other paint you mentioned is alot better

Trust me as a painter if you want a paint that will shine and not come off as easily use what I had suggested you can find this paint at just about any art store or hobby store.
Apple is ok but it is very flat (which works for some looks) but it does tend to come off very easy.
