Default pairadocs design lab - Custom Leader Class BRAWL
Finally finished up my newest custom this past week... I've been working on him off and on for the last two weeks. I got him, and couldn't decide what direction to take it, what color scheme to do, how to camo it, whether or not to add battle damage, etc.

After prepping him up and filling in the gaps, etc. (and REMOVING the friggin' batteries after getting so dang annoyed of his battle sounds every time I touched it - don't worry, I put them back in when I was done, and left those two screw holes open), I got my dremel hot knife and started whacking away at him, literally like a hot knife on butter! I really wanted him to look like he's in the middle of battle.

I then layed down the base coat. Then I remembered the airbrush I have owned for roughly five years that I have never used (don't ask me why.) I finally decided to give it a go, so I blended in some darker green, dark grey and light grey camo. I wanted it to be subtle and natural, nothing too dramatic. I went in and added the detail and weathering, and he turned out a bit better than I originally had hoped. I was going to do a "clean" repaint... a "factory" tank with no weathering and no damage... but what fun is that for me in painting it? I'm pleased with the end result, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it as well... did I pull it off? Overdo it?

I do know this... this will be the last Leader Class Brawl I do. He was a bit of a pain... although I did enjoy doing another military-based figure (I love the colors and fun with battle damage/weathering!!) I'll probably do a Deluxe Class Brawl soon, and do something totally different with that one... but this was a fun experiment!

Thanks for looking!!

Again, you are one of the best customizer around...

I wish I could repaint like that, I'd customize a Cybertron Metroplex...

P.S. Sell me that Super Articulated Manga Spawn !!!

What? Sell my first ever full-on custom (that wasn't just a repaint)? I don't think I could bear to...

...but you'll be excited to see another custom I have in the works... that *may* be for sale... but it's still in its very early stages...

Thank you very much for the praise... you are more than kind...

Absolutely phenomenal! I laughed at the base fig in the store when I saw it, but what you've done with it is amazing.

I know it's your first custom, but it'd be going to the biggest Manga Spawn fan on the board

You do know there is a Manga Spawn 2 coming in the next few months ?

denver, dragon and WIP - thank you very much!!

Manga - Yes I do know about Manga Spawn 2... but that won't effect what I have in the works... it'll only be a future project.

As for going to the biggest Manga Spawn fan on the boards, he already owns it!
