I hope you have a good time. If you are gonna be in San Diego around comic con time let me know! Thanks for that ebay link I will give that guy a shout out too.
Thank you, I am in a family wedding in Sacramento. I'll be staying much too far from San Diego.
Before I left I picked this guy up on ebay for $1. I originally only bought it because it was a phase II clone and I can never have too many of those bodies. Once I had it in hand, I really liked the paint job on the forearms and legs, not so much on the rest of the upper body though. Instead of using this guy for parts I figured I'd do a quick repaint. I added real straps instead of painting them on as you see in the first photo, added metallic paints to the helmet, though its hard to tell. I need to give him a leg strap and pack, but that will have to wait until vacation is over.
As you can see, not a big difference, the guy I bought this off of did a good job. I just tweaked his work a bit.
