I wanted to make a custom Duke in his original look. On this custom I altered the way I customize figures, I switched my paints from enamel to acrylic and my painting methods. I started off painting with a flat white base coat, using Krylon Flat White spray paint. I must say I'm very pleased with the Tamiya acrylic paints, I'd heard a lot about them and finally bought some to try for myself. The finish really turned out great.

As for the parts, I wasn't sure how the Comic Pack Duke's torso, being a Real American Hero mold, would work with the bigger arms of the new sculpts. After trial and error I made it work, and didn't have to do any modifications. This was also my first attempt at cutting parts off figures like feet and hands and then reattaching them. I think it worked out well, using Super Glue to reattach.

Paints - Tamiya Paints (Acrylic): Dark Yellow, Olive Drab and Flat Brown. For the Clear Coat I used Krylon's Spray Matte Finish 1311.
