My big achievement. FINALLY. This is one of the custom "lines" that's been in the works for months...
After surgery, paint layers and varnish, here he is...

Yes, I know the paint job is lousy. However, trust me... for me, it's GREAT. Amazing. I am stupidly happy with him.
Anyways, is spite of the (many) shortcomings, this does prove my hope - the speedos CAN be converted in awesome klickys. So, many more to follow, with some general plans for several, and VERY SPECIFIC plans for one ;)
As you can see, a success with the ladies:

The paint looks good. You shouldn't be so head on yourself.
The figures look good too. (Not historically accurate with the shorts, mind you - but they do look good.)
What kind of paint did you use?

Thanks... It doesn't look that great on close inspection - I'm REALLY not good at this, and I know it... Still, I like them, so does my sister, which, in the end, is what really matters ;)
I know they're not historically accurate, but I don't much care for that (good, right? ;) )..
I used some acrylic paint my sister has for YEARS :-[

The colour matching is excellent. That's why I wanted to know the type of paint. Did you mix the colours or are they straight from the bottle?

:-[ Mixing colors is WAYYYYYY over my skill level. The only painted parts are the boots.
(well, the gold female one has the trimmings on top in gold, with a marker... )

Wow, okay, these look amazing!! :wow: :wow:
They look way better than the Romans with torso's from before Speedo-dad showed up
:inlove:
Great project :) Keep this up and you'll be mixing paints like a pro in a few weeks.

What about the chest straps?

Thanks... you just forget these have months in the making (especially the first one - the blue)
What about the chest straps?
Tape... Masking tape for brown, and the other is cheap one from a "chinese store" :-[ But I figured the color matched the darker red speedos, so...

Hey nice figures Tahra. They look great.

Brilliant! Really love these ones......

Nice!!!Been watching a lot of "Spartacus", have you, lol??? ;) :lol:
-
They all look great! :D If I remember correctly from a picture you posted, don't you have 100+ Speedo Dads? Are they all destined for the Roman Army?

Gannicus, most likely ;)

Well, not ALL... but many. Now I need speedo moms. You know my armies usually have both genders!

And a speedo Gladiator:

LOVE that hair. Is there a blonde version coming? Gods, I could REALLY use some quality time with the playmomachines :P
That tape is.. inferior. I'll have to see how it holds..

Sometimes office supply stores have similar tape. They might have a better quality one?
