You’re of to a good start! Gonna do some sculting on the straps on his arms and legs?

Looking forward to the end result! Ben beniewd!:thumbsup:

Pretty damn awesome man. What spray paint are you using? The paint looks flawless.

Lol. For a second I thought rubber bands could work for the arm wraps and stuff. XD Curious as to what you’re going to do to make those.

The paint is vallejo primer spray black. They also have grey and white.
I love it. It has a great matte finish and is also great as a primer. Suprise :slight_smile:
I was considering actual rubber or leather bands. I will stop at the hobby shop. :slight_smile:

How about flocking the skin and hair parts of Lion-O?
I also flocked MOTUC figures and it sort of makes sence to flock a cat.

They look like this:

WoW that MOTUC Beastman looks killer! As for flocking Lion-O, I dunno.. I think it would be the first flocked Lion-O, or Thundercats figure for that matter, ever… :slight_smile: Seeing how cool that MOTUC stuff looks, I think you’ll pull it of nicely :thumbsup:

Haha. Those MOTU look awesome. I don’t know about flocking Lion-O, but what you did to those figues looks awesome.

I just finished painting the skintones.
Next steps are the collar, wraps and hands.

Pretty cool. Please let me know if the paint on the joints stay in place after some use.
