Couple that with the fact that for some reason now his right arm WILL NOT stay firmly attached at the bicep swivel and keeps dropping off... yeah. This is a no-go. But I think my overall concept for his construction is solid. The parts in this scheme look good and he does indeed look like the character he's supposed to be.

Ah, well. Live and learn so that next time I'll do better.

Wow that looks great, I love seeing the customs on here. Did you wash the figure first with warm soapy water? Dove soap works great to wash off the oil that the figures are coated with. I've made that mistake and the paint will rub off. I've also made the mistake of not using acrylic paint, not good.
