Ok so i won a mattel basics flashback Bret a while ago and it end up sitting at the back of my shelf because in all honesty i think it looked a bit rubbish. So i thought now i have completed my last custom (but first in many years) this will be my next.
First think i hated was the headscan - in my honest opinion i thought Jakks nailed the hart headscan alot better! So i popped the head off, gave it some stubble and mor importantly i gently trimmed the hair sitting over his face to make it a little thinner and more realistic.
Second i gave the upper torso the black attack treatment. I could have done it the easy way and left the pink trim in place but i head my heart sent on the white so after a few coats (and touching up) i finally did this and added the logo on his chest - note all painted as i don't do the whole decals thing!
Then i added the streaks down the side of his legs and added the hitman text (again all painted). Possibly could have been a tad neater but i think i did ok!
Finally i added the little 4 x hearts on the left leg - this was the hardest bit but taking my time paid off as i really liked how they turned out (i was suprised i got them in the right placements!)
A quick touch up and below is the fruit of my labours.
Love to hear what you all think. Took me about 3-4 hours over 2 days.
