    Horde Prime head repaint

    I repainted my Horde Prime to look more like Hordak, the red and black face didn't really do it for me and seemed more like a mask than a face, since it matched everything else.



    Painted with Cartoon Colour Vinyl Acrylics.

    Man...that is done perfectly. I like the red face, so I can't tell if I prefer it in Hordak colors or if I'm just dazzled by your skills in color matching and application.

    That's so cool. Great job on him. How does he look with the helmet on with the bone colored ears?

    Your redo of Horde Prime is superb! The figure looks better this way, although the red-headed one is magnificent too.

    Now that I've finally released my Horde Prime from his clamshell prison, I'm not digging the red deco on the head either. Thanks for posting so we all can see the alternative. It's much better.

    Flawless paint apps! Looks spot-on perfect, and works well in contrast to the red & black armor.

    Wow! Amazing how a few different paint choices make Horde Prime look absolutely stunning! In fact now he looks more like an Ancient powered up Hordak!

    Loving your work there. Lovely colours.

    I really like the existing red face myself, but I have a 2nd Prime on the way for custom fodder so may repaint the spare head to swap in and out as whimsy takes me.

    This is mightily impressive. I may actually try to replicate this. I'm not a fan of the flat red face.... total "what were they thinking" piece for me.
