On the subject of Spartans

Tue Apr 21, 2009, 3:28 PM
So, I just finished up a complete repaint on a 12" Spartan figure, complete with Hayubasa armor helmet (which was actually the toughest to paint). I have to say, I absolutely ADORE the new helmets they've released. One of the main reasons Halo is so much fun is that you can customize your character, with both color and armor, and it's great that they're supporting that with the figures. The plastic they're made of is perfect for painting, and the new helmets look like they were originally there. The only (very small) downside is that it's starting to look like I'm some weirdo Spartan serial killer, with Mark VI heads sitting around my desk on stands.

Alas, this newest beauty won't be staying with X-51 to keep him company, but going out to my nephew as a birthday present. Hence the hayubasa helmet and paintjob (and you have NO IDEA how hard it is to try and paint swords on an uneven surface).

I'll be doing another one of these before July, not sure which helmet, though. Obviously, I've taken to doing custom figures for birthday presents.

Yep, and now that I have the drawing pad, maybe I can start putting art up again.
