The paint is not pale on mine either.
A few more pics.
Love the figure. Waiting on sunglasses, as they were not in my package when it arrived. But that is sorted out now.
The undershirt is magnetized, the tailoring is phenomenal throughout. And the sculpt. Well the sculpt speaks for itself. From what I have seen the glasses are outstanding too.
Masterpiece yet again from Masterworks.

Head Sculp and paintwork is among the best that I have ever seen.
I changed the gun only because I wanted a 6.5 inch SW 29-2. The grips and ribs on top of the Hot Toys revolver are more accurate than the eight inch revolver included with the figure. Three coats of metallic black on the Hot Toys revolver, metallic gray on the trigger and hammer, and a tiny bit of red paint on the front site makes the Hot Toys revolver look that much more accurate. I actually own a Smith & Wesson Model 29.
You can add tall pegs to the leg, but the pants may not be long enough. You can drop the pants a bit, but half an inch may be too much.

Did you use airbrush for the black or just brushed on? Paint job looks great. Gotta wait till tomorrow or Saturday to pick up from post office. Figure looks phenomenal and I can't wait to add another Clint to the family
I have a Paasche airbrush, but I am too lazy to take it out for such a small paint job and have to clean it. I just bought a spray can of Tamiya Color for plastics TS-40 metallic black. Used blue tape to mask out the grips and three light coats of paint. Have to shake and heat up the spray can and use extremely light coats. Hand brushed the trigger and hammer using a Floquil 5/0 red sable brush and Tamiya Acrylic Paint XF-56 metallic grey. Used a shaved toothpick and Tamiya Acrylic Paint XF-7 flat red for the tiny bit on the front site as per the actual S&W 29-2. Painted the gun over four months ago, when I thought about changing out magnum.
By the way the cylinder on the Hot Toys Terminator revolver actually moves just like the real thing.
Awesome. Thank you for the detailed response
Definitely going to follow your steps. Your gun looks spot on.
