Been hiding my childhood attempt at customizing but thought I would embarass myself and post it now. Stupidly painted him to look like Cobra Commander then changed my mind!

Ooops. I've got a few like that from my adult goes at customs. It'll be OK in the fodder box though won't it?

I like the way the black helps to define the outlines, giving an almost comic book illustration effect..a lot of modern action figures now use this old model making paint technique nowadays .

Did'nt think of it that way T'shot. So I wonder if I could make him a battle scarred custom?

give him an eye slit sticker and a helmet logo and he would look pretty cool !!

Games Workshop's Blood Red is a good match to repaint him all one shade.

2 word, Goof Off! Just get a softer scouring pad and use alot of Goof Off and all the paint will come off. Then do what andy says and It will be good as new.

The title scared me at first, I forgot I was at the

customs section and thought something had happened to the Red Laser formerly known as Ironblood.
About the

custom, keep it with the black wash, it looks very good (it only looks bad when you put it on a face, but a featureless face doesn't have that issue)
