So I am going to be starting this project soon. I plan on repainting him to give him more life than the casting the figure is pretty much perfect I didn't have to add any Apxie Sculpt work to this figure. I just did some work in this cast and already broke him apart. See attached Pictures.

I plan on repainting him to make him more look like his animated self.

One thing I plan on doing is placing magnets on the hips of the figure so as I can magnetize the accessories that he came with so as I can place them on his belt. Below you see pictured some work some on this figure I already sanded down the joints, took out the disc's sanded those down as well to avoid paint rub.I tried to glue the disc area back in place but that wasn't holding so I decided to cop this tutorial which had me using screws and drilling a hole to tighten the articulation on the disk I also switched the disks inside the body of the figure the skinny disk is now the fat side and vise-versa. Had to do some work to fix that by cutting some sheet styrene and glueing it in place with industrial strength glue. Now just gotta wait for everything to dry to see how it will fit together. Till next time.

Last post of some WIP progress shots:
The figure changed a lot in the final phase the collar around his neck I had a hard time dealing wit trying to gather the deal to show so I used metallic gold and dry brushed around his collar to order to bring out the design around his neck. I ask in the final phase coated some of there joints that re going to rub together with super glue to give them double protection then hit the figure with a final phase of dull coating.

FINAL FIGURE PAINTED:
This is the final figure new to his original one from the factory with the yellow skin, With this paint job I wanted to harken it to the OG comic costume that he donned in Jack Kirby's run. Also the flesh face tone on this figure was change that I chose to carry over from the animated figure the yellow wasn't twerking and it ended up just clashing with the various shade of green that I painted. I think that this shows improvement over the Darkseid figure that I repainted. Some thing I learned while painting this is figures with capes of anything that protrudes from the back or any sort of connective thing on the back of the figure can hinder assembly and create more problems that need mending. Also if using any type of enamel paint on small delineated areas to highlight seams of what not let it completely cure even if it is dry to touch.
