Kevin D. PlanetFigure Supporter Joined Jan 27, 2006 Messages 1,034 Location Texas Oct 12, 2006 #2 I have a question on this figure.... What is (& how to paint) the arm banding This figure has banding on the arms. Is it metal or cloth? It looks like metal but the bows at the elbows are confusing me. How would you paint these arms?

I also would not rule out a contrasting color of fabric tape/lace.~Gary Attachments post-293-1160863005.jpg 73.7 KB
