    Thanks guys, as always it was a fun project. I need to make time to do more of them. Especially appreciate the comment from Tbolt. I'm standing in high cotton if you like my distressing! I also went old school on this as the entire figure was mego parts, repro or ctvt. Waiting for a War Heroes head from Berto' to finish it off (hint)
    Thanks again!

        Jimmy! Your expertise in modeling carries over to customizing again. The scraping of the metal finish is perfect.

          Yep, I remember that guy, he had some nice customs, especially the monsters. I was going to use the Hammered paint that he used but instead went with a gloss black base followed by Alcdad Pale Burnt Metal. I let it dry and then took a small file to it to do the distressing. Then went back over it with Alclad Chrome & highligted with Tamiya Clear Smoke (my all time favorite paint!) I'm getting ready to do a 1/6 Dr. Doom Kit and this was good practice for his armor.
