Luckily, the goggles still 'pinch' enough to hold them in place ... Thoughts?

I've been fiddling around with some bare bones customs myself, and I'm a big fan of The Phantom, so this is great. How did you make the belt, and can we get a closer look at that? awesome good job

This is great. Stuff like this is why I wish I had the funds to buy dozens of that SE/Stalker figure. And I even like the color.

Thanks for the kind comments, Gents! Lance, I didn't even know who the base fig was -- thanks for the ID!

as an additional note, I did do one new thing on this custom: I wanted to prime the entire figure black to have a uniform basecoat for painting. The head was already black, but it was the factory 'nothing sticks to me!' black -- and I didn't want to lose the factory eye paint -- so I swiped a bit of the kid's play-doh. I formed it to fit right up to the edge of the mask. After letting it dry overnight, the play-doh had shrunk & turned stiff, easily coming off the head & leaving the factory eyes intact.

Attachment: CIMG0056-1.jpg That's a killer idea for painting masked heads. The figure ain't too shabby either. This look adds a bit of Danger: Diabolik-style charm to the character. And I like the shade of purple you used, it's perfect.

Good to see someone else appreciates this character, and that is a very modern, realistic look for him.

Attachment: CIMG0056-1.jpg You can do this with Elmer's Glue too. dab or paint it on, let it dry, once painted you can then just catch the edge of the glue with a finger or exacto blade and the glue comes right off.
