Why not use thin strips of real black tape? Thats what I'm gonna do when I get around to it.

could you please teach me how to make those 2 stripes uniting the mags
i cannot imagine anything to make it look like tape.
I used real electrical tape for mine -
Just cut two 4cm strips from it measuring 4mm wide using a ruler and xacto knife.
Be sure to have superglued the two magazines together first though.
NOTE - I cut the strips too thin in the pics above(I cut them to 3mm instead of 4mm) so thats why I had to overlap off track.

Yep, real black tape works great.
I literally just done this mod again myself. Only took a minute to do.
I did it a few years back too, but I sold the gun to a friend. It was better than this because I painted the mags dark grey and weathered them etc etc.
I'll be doing the same again with this one.

Nice improvise on that tapre TFG! Adds that realistic look!
Thank you J! It does indeed.
thanks for the explanations
BTW TFG, those 2-layer stripes look very natural i think, though you said you just tried to make the first layer wider.
important note about glueing the mags together. didn't even come to my brains.

Yep, the right tape and cutting it precisely to the correct width creates a very realistic effect. Nice job!
Thanks bro!

No problem P. Glad I could help you, my friend!
Yeah, the off -track stripes do look natural now that you mention it.
I think I might leave them like that now. I still need to repaint the mags and add some slight weathering though.

It appears as though great minds think alike. That's exactly what I used.

I think its perfect but the size is a little too big compared to HTs latest figures. It fits in perfect next to the 1st HT releases like Kyle Reese and the 1st HTs T800 though.
The accuracy and likeness is absolutely dead on!
Wish I never sold mine actually.

Yeah, thanks my friend!
Your customs have been a huge inspiration to some of my own customs.
This is still my favourite BD head, sorry forgot the guys name!
Coincidentally I just bought a T1 BD custom off Addicted-to-collecting with what looks like that particular headsculpt - I wasn't sure what sculpt it was exactly but now I know. Hmmm, pity its apparently a little on the big side.
Still, love the weathering on the clothes.

I was thinking about shifting it onto a bigger body. I'd have to cut off the neck though.....
