Elvis how did you make the knee pads like that with just leather? How did you get the pads like look? Did you actually put pads in them?

I'm just guessing, but it looks like he used thin suede for the strap, and then cut 3 pieces of thick suede strips to act as the padding...maybe even suede thonging lace? -

Nop. :)

First I build the pads with foam sheet. I made them in two layers and then glued super thin leather directly on the foam ;-)

I will have one almost done finally.
I ended up resculpting over all the visible joints but still kept the articulation. Now I need to do some paint touches up and finish the leather belt.

Shredder is alos in the work.
 
Almost done with Leo.
I never thought those would require so much work. I ended up sculpting over the joints but still keep full articulation.

I also resculpted the toes. I wanted to get rid of the toyish look he has.

I dremeled the sculpted knee pads and made some real leather ones.
Same for the elbow. I insterted double elbow joints and they will be covered with leather elbow pads. I still have to do that.

Last thing to do is repaint or switch the sword.

Toynewsi.com has new figure pics of mutagen man, kirby bat, and squirrelenoid. Imo they look kind of lame. The old mutagen man looked way better.
 
Great work on Leo! Congrats!

I ran into the only pack of mousers between 4 Targets! Yay! I'm glad for the articulation! The NECA ones didn't have much.
