    Buck Rogers

    I guess they are more re-paints than customs... but they were tough for me to do, so I'm putting them here!
    Basically, I'm giving everyone a face (painting eyes, lips, etc), and adding details (Draconiam Guard's armor), or painting the whole figure (Twiki).




    After I finish all the figures, I want to hit the ships... but first I gotta find an Earth Force Starfighter...

    Nice paint work.

    That Twiki robot's head always looked perverse for some reason. Must be my sick mind.

      Painting them is exactly what makes them customs. They look cool.

                Very cool! Never thought about painting face details on old Mego 3 3/4 figures. Might actually be able to improve CAH or Pocket Heroes...

                  These figures have SO MUCH detail on them, it's a shame to not bring it out... the beads on Ardala's chest and stomach... the dragons on the Draconian armor. And those Black Hole figures... it's like they were carved by a perfect machine.

                    Nice paint job. These look like entirely new figures.

                          BEAUTIFUL WORK..

                          Oh, and if anyone finds some StarFighters, put me down for one..

                          They always looked super.. Was one of my favorite model kits, next to the Viper and Space:1999 Eagle.

                              Very cool, painting them really does bring out how well the Mego 3 3/4" really were. I really like the way Ardalla looks when she was so bland and faceless before... like a clothing store mannequin. The gold armor on the Draconians really stand out too, although, the black hollow eyes still look a little odd without the rest of the goggles painted on.
