    I say paints the teeth. Neon green maybe, make this thing really blaze? I dunno. Anyway, like the colors, they pop.

    yeah.. that's rad! i'd paint the teef. personally i would have disassembled the figure first (unless you like the overspray look)... if you use vcolor, you don't have to worry about the paint scratching or chipping when you heat up the figure and get the joints back in

    Thanks for the compliments and advice. I've painted lots of things but never a toy before. Lots to learn...V-Colour is amazing!

    So um..........what Zag did you use if you don't mind me asking? If you don't wanna post and get lynched I dig it though, I personally don't give a crap though, just wondering.

    Hot damn Justin, GREAT job! IMHO you should paint the teeth so that they'll show. Anyway, keep painting! You've got an eye for this, for sure. Hard to believe this is your first custom.

    AMAZING for your first run at it !!

    I'd say paint the teeth. It will complete it. I would go white to match the eye. Or gold if you want to get gangsta :)

    Either than that bravo awesome paint job !!

    And I personally like the overspray. Most toys are sprayed assembled so it gives it that factory feel.

    Keep it up :)

    Thanks guys for all the kind words. I wanted the overspray look and the teeth are going to be white to match the eye. The Zag that was sacrificed was a Kozik Anachy(sorry Frank). If anyone has a Zag to sell PM me please, I need to paint some more.

    Looks really good Justin, especially for a first custom. I definitely think you should paint the teeth though.

    Looks great. I have an airbrush but have a pretty good feeling my first attempt would be lackluster. I say paint those tooths white.

    Hey, nice job. Can you tell me what airbrush you were using and where you scored the paint?
