[TomStrong]

Hey Everyone, I really love this character so I decided to do a custom.

Got the head paints done and the uniform on. I just need to hem the tunic.

Now, Ive got the tunic hemmed and created a custom cape. Next I need to prime and paint the harness. I have a harness to use but I dont know how to add the canisters so Ive got some figuring to do.

[TomStrong]

This is what im talking about. i dont know if I want to just paint in the yellow canister things or come up with some way to attach them. I woudnt know what to make them out of. Any suggestions would be great. I want him to look custom but retain that Megoey flavor we all know and love.

I'm not familiar with the character but the figure looks great, love how you did the shirt!

Got the harness primed and painted and trimmed down to Mego size. I need to add emblems and utility canisters.

TRy this.

Get a pack of Qtips that have plastic handles. Spray paint them yellow, use a sealant and then cut them into pieces and glue into place.

Agreed. I need to post more WIPs here, to get great suggestions like that!

Really like watching where this one is going...

Looks great! Though I would have gone for a more youthful chin.

Alright Folks, been a few days but I finally got around to the problem of the canisters. I used some plastic rods at Hobby Lobby and fixed them to the harness. Now hes armed and almost ready for action. Just want to get a plastic disc with emblem for the center of the harness.
