Cheers Andy :)
Changed the arms, but apart from that its a straight repaint.
Quite like the helmet with the radio equipment more defined in black.

that's a great use for the televiper head, and I love the logos on the arms- perfectly crafted- are they hand painted?

Yes they are hand painted, getting a bit better with practice :)
Took Malcolm`s advice in realtion to the :qforce: logo and painted the whole head shape black and then filled in the eyes and mouth.

The eyes where a sticky point, I agree they don`t look quite right.
I`d get one right and the other would go wrong! And their a bit too high :)

How did you do the skull and crossbones to do my Red Laser I will need to do the same unless I scrap that idea?

The head is a basic black oval shape and then I used the red base colour for the eyes after.
If your painting the logo onto a red figure it could be worth picking up some close matching red paint.
Or failing that, go for transfers.

I missed this figure somehow - glad I saw it because it's great. The colour scheme works well indeed.
