WOW! That is one SHARP looking figure! I love all the mods you made and how the parts all seem to flow together so effortlessly. Finally, that paint job is just so clean and flawless! I hope Hasbro does something just like this!! Great job!!!

Excellent, your paint apps is great, one true custom, fantastic job.

Looks good, nice and clean!

Wow, really sweet!

What kinds of paints/sealer are you using?

That is the perfect middle ground between glossy and matte.

Very, very nice.

Incredible job! This has to be one the best 25th customs I've seen. Awesome!!!

Gotta ask what you used for the hoses and rebreather on the helmet? That fascinates me.

Honestly, as Wet-Suit is one of my favorite characters I love any rendition of him. But there are a couple things not working for me here. The hands are one. Not sure why but those Gung-ho hands just don't work for me for anyone. I think its the angle of the hands and wrists. They look off a bit.

The other thing is the lower legs. I used CG lowers for my wet Wet-Suit and the look matches the ARAH a lot better I think.

Other than those nitpicky personal things this is a great 25th style version of Wet-Suit. I'd definitely buy it if it was on shelves. It works really well.

And kudos for getting the paint right. That's the one thing that's stopping me from making one in this color scheme... I fear the light blue/green and white paint. So nice job on making it look easy.

Well the paint is a big mix. First I gave him white primer from Vallejo in all the parts that were going to receive the blue marine color so that we wouldn't end up having shades. Then I used the blue marine spray paint from tamiya. Black parts also was tamiya spray cans. Details were done with Gamers Workshop paints. Flesh tone is from vallejo too. The yellow was primed a little with tamiya spray and then GW paint.

To seal was Vallejo gloss then mate varnishes.

About the hoses they are normal joe hoses. The helmet was casted as I said had to make some side openings to put the hoses glues inside. I had to repaint them that's why they have a mate look.

that a cool wetsuit. i liked MS as well and wanted one but I think your parts selection works but Like said the hands are not the greatest but still it's good.You do very smooth looking paints for sure, hopefully hasbro will see your version and give us something close to it.
keep up the great customs,
Tim

That is an awesome wetsuit. You nailed his bright colors. They reall pop out and kae him an interesting custom.
