Thank you! That's the first time I ever did a heavy wash on a figure. The worst case scenario, I could take it off, the best case scenario...is now on the shelf.
Hey Ryno, thank you for this video and also recommending the Colors by Golden, soo many guys out there only recommended using Vallejo , but ur the only one who has suggested Golden make for painiting Classified line , thank you soo much
Thanks! Golden is quality acrylic paint. I saw a video of someone at Hasbro's paint dept. using it and reached out to her and she said that's what she uses. Golden matches a lot of base colors that Hasbro uses. It's easy to find, easy to get and is pretty durable.
Dude! this was the video I needed to see--I've been preparing for a full re-paint of the Classified Gung Ho, but with a "colonial marines" via Aliens color scheme. Thanks for sharing your work/methods.
You did a great job as you did with the previous 2. Was curious as to how you would go over the ab crunch with out getting any rub. Thanks for another great video
Thanks! There's no rub on the ab crunch since there is a gap between the bottom of the chest and the top of the ab section. I just did it in 2 stages for both the front and back of the figure. After I applied the wash and let it dry, I would bend it back and expose the plastic, apply wash, then bend it forward and apply wash to the back.
@@rynohobbies You took me to school with this video. I learned a lot, thank you for being so informative, and actually explaining what your going to do and what you’re doing, showing the paint labels and what tools you use. I think your videos are the best tutorial videos on TH-cam when it comes to figure customization. You’re doing an awesome job brother.
Hi man, greetings, I have a question, do you have a video of how to paint beachead sweaters from green to black? Or how can I do, to do so? Thanks for further tips. And byw, do you know where I can do a 3d mold of a head (custom) to match in that figure? 😁
Hi Manuel! Thank you. I recently saw this video: th-cam.com/video/5OZ6bzQvARw/w-d-xo.html It dyes the plastic is you don't hav to paint. You might have to seal it before you prime and paint. The dye tends to seep through primer and paint. I usually go through Etsy for casts of heads. I hope that helps.
@@rynohobbies yes.! Thank you very much for the help.! I really appreciate it very much.! Upstanding job you do painting your figures.!!! Really awesome
Just watched this and great work. By any chance do you have an outline of how you did this? I'm checking for tips on how to recolor my own Duke figure. Thanks!
So how do you prep and paint the soft plastic parts like the belt in the bandolier. Also the crotch piece? I’m having trouble with it. It seems like every time I paint them they always come out tacky and doesn’t dry.
Was looking up some vids on repaints and found this one. How do you paint the knee ratchets so that they don't chip off when moved? The little "gears" seem like they would chip the second you bend a joint.
I heat them up again, very carefully. I only heat the parts that have to interact with each other. I take a pipette and fill with hot water and drop water into the holes and only dip the post in hot water. I don't submerge the painted piece in water. I think the heat turns the clear coat foggy or in some case melts it away. I hope that helps.
Great job on the repaint!! So did you wash the body before painting and priming parts to strip the manufacturers “sealer” or just disassemble and proceed with the process of repainting? Also did you water down the brown mix that became Dukes new shirt color or just mix the two paints? And one final question, when you stated you used the matte sealer and let it cure for a couple of days, did you brush it on, or did you airbrush it on?
Please do a Sigma 6 version one day (by the way I'm referring to you doing 8it with another version of this figure and recolor his outfit and have them match those colors)
It's still good. I just used him recently when I took pics of him with General Hawk on instagram. I didn't rush the paint job or the varnish. I let each one cure before I added a new coat.
Thank you sir! I'm almost bummed that Hasbro didn't do shitty paint jobs on the others. I would love to do Beachhead and Firefly, but those are hard to come by.
Question.. did you need to sand down your figurine at all? I found my paint seems to just wipe right off on certain figures even if I do it a few times. Awesome job btw, looking to get my work as nice as this
Hi Gerald, I used Tamiya paint for the buttons. If you want to paint the whole belt, I would prime it first. I use Stynylrez primer, then whatever acrylic paint you want. I hope that helps.
I was looking for a good content like this, glad I found it, I want to customize my frostbite, now I'm looking forward to seeing a snow camouflage painting, very good work
Great video! Question - it looks like his pants are still textured just underneath his knee caps and aren't grooved at all to fit his metal shin guards over (like if you were to take off Snake Eyes chest straps and there's nothing actually molded underneath them - it's just grooved out to fit them in place). Do you think if you were to cut Duke's shin guards down to the top of his boot line that his legs would look any better or any worse without them covering his upper pant legs?
Removing the shin guards would make it look worse. The guards have a vertical pin / slot and a raised bevel. If you remove it you would have to file or fill that area. It wouldn't look good also because he would still have molded straps around the boots. If you don't want shin guards I would suggest swapping with Destro.
@@normanbeaulieu4204 I did 3 parts Model Master Acryl Flat Clear 4636 to 1 part Model Master Universal Acrylic Thinner 50496A. The PSI on my compressor shows 25 PSI.
HASBOR should take note, your repaint should be the standard for Duke! 👍
Thank you! It was a challenge getting it exactly the way I wanted it.
I have never seen someone do such a heavy wash. It turned out awesome and can’t wait to try it myself. Thanks for making awesome videos for us!

Thank you! That's a great idea for Gung Ho.
It really turned out great.
Love the color choices!
Thanks Edwin! I knew the green would be fine, the brown was a happy accident.
Superb video dude simply love it , thank for teaching how to customize, so basically hot water does it all
Thank you! Hot water has been doing the job for me. I never put a figure on the stove.
Much much better, a good paint job takes the figure to next level
He looks way better now! Awesome work!
Thank you! So far, it's my favorite.
Most excellent work mate. A much needed improvement !!
kickass video and great job to boot!!!!
Now that is a duke I'd happily buy.
Yes my man! That looks fantastical. I love that dark brown shirt with the green. Beautiful work
Nice!, great work.

I hope I find another Duke to do this.
This was a fun one for sure.
Umm they're everywhere

Very Cool.
Duke looks phenomenal 👏
Excellent work!
Thank you!
Inspirational video bro. Thank you.

Nicely done! Makes me wanna pick up a few of these guys!
Thanks! I'm thinking the same thing.
Outstanding work What Brand of paint and Brushes you use
Amazing job!
Now that's definitely Duke!!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thanks! I said the same thing, once I reassembled him.
Man you did a great job 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looks dope! Congrats 👏
Thanks man!
Your repaint is 🔥🔥🔥 Nice work!!!
Thanks Ivan! It was a fun project.
Great work. Block is best so far. Like to see you try gung ho.
Hmmm, I might do that after Firefly.

How old does the varnish hold afterwards? Is there any chipping while posing after paint job is done?
It's still good. I just used him recently when I took pics of him with General Hawk on instagram. I didn't rush the paint job or the varnish. I let each one cure before I added a new coat.
Dude, you did such a good fucking job on this. Congrats, seriously. I love these videos!
Thank you sir! I'm almost bummed that Hasbro didn't do shitty paint jobs on the others. I would love to do Beachhead and Firefly, but those are hard to come by.
Nice!
Where'd you get the XMLR in 6" scale? EDIT - nevermind, see it in the stuff at the top.
Question.. did you need to sand down your figurine at all? I found my paint seems to just wipe right off on certain figures even if I do it a few times. Awesome job btw, looking to get my work as nice as this
Do the paint rub off at the joints?
So far, no.
Can you do Gung ho next?
I think I will once the Valaverse declassified set comes in.
what paint would you recommend for the rubbery parts like the holsters and chest armor? thanks
Hi Gerald, I used Tamiya paint for the buttons. If you want to paint the whole belt, I would prime it first. I use Stynylrez primer, then whatever acrylic paint you want. I hope that helps.

Dude. Do Flint please!
Wow!
Your Classified repaints are rad! Would be cool to transform a Cobra Infantry back to Trooper mode.
Great video! Question - it looks like his pants are still textured just underneath his knee caps and aren't grooved at all to fit his metal shin guards over (like if you were to take off Snake Eyes chest straps and there's nothing actually molded underneath them - it's just grooved out to fit them in place).

It wouldn't look good also because he would still have molded straps around the boots. If you don't want shin guards I would suggest swapping with Destro.
I subbed and liked.
Did you airbrush or paint by hand?
I applied washes by hand with a brush. I airbrushed sealer afterwards.
Great repaint matey!
Did you spray the flat clear or brush it on?
I sprayed the flat clear coat with an airbrush.
@@rynohobbies what’s your ratio for it before you spray and what PSI.
@@normanbeaulieu4204 I did 3 parts Model Master Acryl Flat Clear 4636 to 1 part Model Master Universal Acrylic Thinner 50496A. The PSI on my compressor shows 25 PSI.
