Ok, removed the arms and the head...

But how did you take out that part between the arms?

And.. aren't the two halves of the body welded?

Love your color choices! The purple goes well with everything, and the gold body is perfect. Very nice custom! ;D ;D ;D
After two decades of male toys (esp. Lego and PM) in our house, it is time to build something for us women!

Hey! My two cents here: Tahra, when you buy that paint, grab a can of varnish too. No risk the paint comes off after one or two coats of varnish (I prefer matt or satin varnish, but glossy might add to the shine!)
Great customs Panos, BTW.

Will do :)

My sister used some acrylic paints in the past, and was also mentioning the varnish... Matte will probably be better, I think...

Thats a godd advise Arnaud, I've painted a fair a mount of items but never bothered with varnishing them... I guess I handle them so carefully the paint never gives away...
