Nothing fancy but it's what could have been. It's odd how much a sharpie to this guy made it look 10x better imo. I didn't have any white so I went with the look from the GL: First Flight and Emerald Knights animated movies. All I did was go over the dark green with a black sharpie to match his look better. Not perfect some of the lines are a wee bit off but I'm happy with it.

Yeah,agreed on what you've done.

Pity the articulation was missing when they did this line.

I know. Elbow and knee joints were all I was asking for.

Ha that's classic. If one good thing came out of these it was the constructs.

Nice- now get some Testors' black enamel and thinner- add a think wash of black to the green areas, let it sit for while and take a paper towel and remove the excess- it'll make the figure a hundred times better to tone that green down and it'll add definition to the sculpt- maybe ten minutes work while surfing online.

Actually I'm pretty sure it's the flash from the camera that makes the green look so bright. I like the way the green looks by itself and don't really want to change it.

Oh, okay- I saw a few GL figures that were in a day-glow green...those need to find a home in a landfill somewhere.
