Rock N Roll Express fixed

[akawildfire]

Well, It's been a VERY LONG time since I busted out my paints/brushes but I decided to get them out and fix the jakks RnR express disaster so here they are (Ricky Mortons eyes look alittle weird due to the flash but they are normal and the white hot spots are also from the flash).. Not sure if I should put them here or not since they are only head paintings but I'll leave that up to the mod to decide. Not sure how to post pics so copy and paste the link below (or if someone wants to post the pics themselves please feel free to).....

They look so much better that way, I wish I had the painting skills do do that fix up - so i'm just gonna wait till Jakks makes corrected ones or until they hit clerance.

Incredible fix up!
You changed my mind on these two, I might get those and do that too!

You can check the original released ones on the database here or possibly even the link to them on the home page?

thats cool looking

Wow perfect paint job. It's great that you left some dark roots on Morton. Every other one I have seen has been too blond.

[Nick Maniwa]

I agree about the roots. The fixups look really good but the hair on Gibson is a bit too dark. Gibson should have a lazy eye, .

[customnova]

That eye always creeped me out! These look great though!

I'd like to duplicate what you did with these. I've never done a custom before, though. Can you tell me specifically what paint I should get, the exact colors, and the type of brush to use. Much appreciated.

That looks 100X better now that they are corrected.

I mixed several paints for ricky morton and did a bunch of shading which is kinda difficult to pull off for a 1st timer, I painted the hair white and left the dark roots and then I painted it yellow with a mix of brown (nutmeg I think) and then another layer of canary yellow shaded and then a final layer of shaded off white..... Robert Gibson is solid black (I attempted to give him brown Highlights but I didn't like the result so I just went back over it with solid black), Overall the painting to about 35 minutes but due to the layering it took a couple days to complete it ( The eyes are nutmeg brown for gibson and off blue for ricky with dots of black and white on each)....... I don't recall a lazy eye on either member (and I just meet both of them in the last 2 years)?..... Thanks for the replies and thanks again gate for posting the pics.
