Man, this thread is really making me want to get one of those armored figures and try painting it up.
What kind of paint do you guys recommend to get that worn/scuffed metal look?

I used Tamiya chrome silver and gun metal colors.

Those are some decent paints if i remember correctly.

Very impressive mods so far! This figure has a lot of potential.

For all the fellow collectors in Switzerland: I got this figure from amazon.it for only EUR 43,30 (shipping included, no import tax). A bargain compared to CHF 99 in a toy store.

Now I'm looking for some pleather to make a custom cape and some paint to make the grey darker and weathered.

I decided to give this a try a little too late, and now I wish I had more time to resculpt joints and repaint the rest. Finished repainting the head first to see if I could do a decent job, and I hope I did! For the armor I hand-painted Mr Hobby steel acrylic paint (steel is the color) over Nippon Pylox silver spraypaint. For the mouth area I used Vallejo paints and a brush

Awsome stuff! I would do a little bit more silver dry-brushing on the bridge of the nose, I mean look at this picture-



Also on the sharp angled corners beneath his eyes. In fact more silver dry-brushing on all the sharp angles will be cool. Look at the scratches too.

You've done your airbrushing well, however, if you can manage get a thin brush and paint each hair individually too A bit difficult, but doable with a seady hand and a tiny sized brush.

Just some pointers. Great job and keep modding.

Thanks man! While this will be my first time to repaint a full figure, I've been fascinated and have been doing weathering to a few of my HTs and NECAs (I personally love the weathering I did for my HT Arkham City Batman and NECA Arkham Knight Batman). I love weathering metal in particular, and this will have that this is still a work in progress, and I just wish I had more time to get back to it soon.

Using high-res photos of HT life-size and Prime1 for reference. BTW, apart from the silver undertone for the armor which I sprayed on from a can, the rest were painted with brushes as I don't have an airbrush

the glass eyes used on the batman are a really nice touch. Im thinking of doing that with the superman one also, but i want to something showing his heat vision. where can i find some red glass eyes or any idea of doing it with 2 really bright red leds?

Hi Guys,

I learned today that this has been Jakks' most successful line yet. Not in overall numbers (they still produce and ship way more Star Wars product than anything else), but in sell-through rates. Apparently, it was a smashing success in that area. Which makes sense I guess as I don't see this all over stores anymore.

That is beautiful work.
Since you did so much work already, why not fill and paint the articulation seams on the shoulders?

Because just focusing on the head part and not consider so much while processing...
PS. I'm repainting Superman and will share when finished.
