Hi guys,

Here's my latest personal project.

So ever since someone over at the other forum put on the koto unmasked onto the Bowen Action Magneto, I've had this custom in mind.

First I reshaped the neck guard to make it a nice tight fit. I made it so that the head is tilted down a bit, to give Magneto that threatening look.

I gave the body a full repaint by using Alclad chrome, golden shading grey and tamiya clear red. I also used createx pearlized purple.
Cape's the factory paintjob, which I find really good.

The koto head was repainted as well.

I hope you guys like the result!

Thats almost perfect! Everything I want in a Magneto statue and the size too! the only thing I would change ( personal preference) is The age of apocalypse version of his hair with the braids.

Thanks a lot, guys! :)

I haven't tried but I don't think it will fit anymore.

But a masked koto head will.... hint hint


Same pics, better lighting ;)
