Like the gallery says, this one is made by me for a dear friend of mine. I didn't create the character, but I did repaint the figure!

Excellent paint job! very smooth and even. great contrast to the bot as well!

What kind of paint did you use for this one? I'm just wondering because it looks like it is tough enough to stand up to several wear spots.

Dayum DEV! I never imagined that Alt Ravage could be changed into something that cool. It really does look bada$$. And the box is pro too!

There were a few spots that were just a little blotchy, but they didn't show up in these pictures.

To answer everyone's question though, I used Artic Silver automotive touch-up spray paint. Hobbyist Prime, you have a good eye! The paint stands up very well in typical wear spots. I did not use primer on this figure, but I did renew the entire surface with Testors sandpaper.

The box wasn't too hard to do. A few of the measurements were off so I had to re-print the front of the box several times before I got it right.

In the end, this project was a lot of fun, and the person I made it for loved it. Thanks for all of the kind words people!
