Colossus has always been on of my favorite X-Men. After I completed the Mega size Batman figure, I was ready to make Colossus out of the same base figure. Tons of Dremeling had to been done again to remove all of the original figure's detail. I then needed to sculpted on his hair and ears with my Milliput Putty. I then used red fabric for his top. I dipped the fabric into a mixture of Elmer's Glue and water, this allowed the cloth to harden without become too stiff. This in turn made the fabric MUCH easier to paint. For his black stripping I went with really thin black tape. You can buy it at most hobby stores that carry radio controlled cars. It's called "Pro Line Racing Tape" or "Pin Stripping". It made it much easier then trying to paint the lines on the figure (and much cleaner!). After I painted the figure, I coated the whole figure with a clear iridescent paint. This gave Colossus a wonderful metallic shine, that responses to different types of light.
