It's been suggested that the Red Lantern Guy dial isn't bad for a regular representation of him as well. I had a spare, so...
Now I just need to paint my other one RED... :eek:

Other than the funky looking eyes it is a great paint job (way better then I could do)

Very cool, 'Mouse. He dial would work very well for a regular Guy. At least he's not orange.:classic:

The one I painted had *no* eyes so I painted them on. They look like Scott Pilgrim is full-on battle mode... I may redo them, I may just leave 'em.

I really like what you've done with Guy Gardner... I kind of wish that Wizkids had just given us Guy in his GL uniform to match the others from this set.

I say leave 'em, they don't look too bad. That's the stare I have when I have a chainsaw.

Very nice Mouse!
He is also on my list to do.
Do you have another pic of his torso......possibly from under the chainsaw?

Nicely done! I plan to do a couple of Guy mods myself. One to green and one to really red. It still irks me that his factory paint is much closer to Larfleeze in color then to Atrocitus. I'm considering playing around with inks as well to try to keep the construct bits transparent.

No, I do not. His symbol/vest still look a little sloppy, to be frank! I need to retouch that area.
He's quite tricky to paint, with all the crossed limbs and the chainsaw.

Fair enough.
It looked tricky when I first looked at him......that was why I was asking. :p Sometimes it's easier to get by a tricky area when I can see how it can be done.

Gosh, I'm not sure why people had such a problem with his color. I pulled him out and said "Oh my gosh! They made a TRON Guy Gardner! This is my favorite piece of the whole set next to Flash." And so he is.
Awesome job Mouse. I'll have to try it if I get a second.

Y'know, he's *supposed* to be orange?

Compare to Atrocitus:

Guy comes out as "orange" because of the green ring and red ring combating one other.

Wondered about that myself, but green and red do not orange make? No matter how many times I piddle around with the color mix, it doesn't look like orange!

I know, DC got their primary and secondary colors mixed...it should come out brown/grey. Oh, well.

I can *almost* accept that, but the fact that there is an Orange "emotion"/Corps makes that a poor choice. As to the color combining, you'd get brown/black in subtractive colors like paint pigment. Actual additive colors like light itself would get you yellow with an even mix of red and green. So maybe he is *more* red than green and thus has an orange-ish tint? Makes sense for colors of light but seems to break down when mapping the "emotional spectrum". "Willpower" plus "rage" equals "greed"?

Yes ... but that wouldn't look as good in space :)

I have zero issue with that... especially since this has played out/drifted on.
I did play my Green Guy this week, and had a lot of fun with him on a JLI team. Mostly I did well because my opponents all had lousy rolls though.

Well he looks great! I was going to put my JL Guy on the new dial, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
I played my Red Lantern Guy and Atocitus and had to pit both against Doomsday. Based Dooms with Atrocy and Guy was ranging him. I didn't roll over a 7 against him with either figure. Darn 19 defense.
So I know how the other players were feeling.

Ignatz_Mouse I love the Green Lantern Guy repaint you made. Wouldnt mind have one myself. Unfortunately I cant mod/paint for anything lol

It is a good repaint, but it maybe better without the chainsaw (at least for me it would be).

I don't think posting links after they have been up for a while is an issue.............now if you started posting other pics (directly) into a thread too early I could see some people having issues. I wouldn't mind (in most cases) but I could see the issue.
Domino33 has one in his album. (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/album.php?albumid=843)

Nice, I've only used Guy once so far and he ate a Mongul and a SR Sinestro in that game almost by himself(Mongul did himself no favors in missing Guy twice).
Nice job, really like the different approach and actually making him part of the GLC, many kudos.
I repainted mine red to really let that Red Lantern Corps look shine, I need to post pics, but this thread is about you, again great work.
What did you do with the symbol on his chest, if you don't mind me asking?
Great mod though!

I already repainted my extra Guy red, it was a fairly easy repaint to do. So if you want to de-orange yours, I'd say you could probably do it yourself as it wasn't very hard.

Handpainted the symbol. It came out acceptable but not great.
