Posted December 20, 201113 yr This was a little project for a Brickwarriors forum contest. It was my very first time painting minifigure gear and I learned a lot from the experience. I thought I'd share with MCW folks here on EB in case you guys have an tips for next time. Normally I'm a purist minifig customizer (occasionally adding a 3rd party weapon/gear), but I did enjoy making these and might be trying my hand again soon.

With her associate security elves taking the rear guard positions, Santa is safe from all Scrooges another year.
December 21, 201113 yr Author Thanks everyone. Thats awesome. What did you use to paint the shotgun? The gun itself was originally red. First, I put a white basecoat on all the parts I wanted to paint. I mixed my own paint for the metal from a "metallic silver" and "ebony black" of the Micheal's craft's brand Americana (acrylic paint). For the lines I mixed "primary red" and "ebony black" (and diluted quite a bit).
January 22, 201213 yr Ha Ha! Cool! I love how Santa is sweating like he's scared of the Mrs. Awesome! -Puck Edited May 10, 201212 yr by Puck

February 14, 201213 yr Those are two awesome minifigs. I love the ornaments on her armouring, and that shotgun looks like it could stop any rabid raindeer with one shot. I'd buy these in two seconds. Edited February 14, 201213 yr by GeluNumber1
