[Blade Raider]

Finished my Shodo-X Super-1 custom (for now). Figure I'll share some pictures.



I customized Shodo-VS Super-1 years ago, so I'll be comparing them as I go. I borrowed Riderman's scarf (any yellow scarf works) to make the VS figure into Robot Super-1.


Most of the work was on the belt. The silver and black was painted out of the box, but I had to paint the rest. I painted the Super Hands switch white on the VS version, which is wrong. It's suppose to be silver. Corrected that here on X.


Here's Super-1 bike, Blue Version.

I painted:
Silver: Suspension, steering column, and handle bars.
Black: Chain, kickstand, and engine (they only painted half).
White: Straps on the seat and around the engine.
Red: Thruster (Probably brighter than it should be)





Blue Version has some filming variants (toy matches the first one most) and I can't find the long antennas on anything but promotional images and toys. In the show they're either short or not there at all. I don't want to cut them until I know where the long antennas came from.


Onto Super-1's Five Hand. Painted these to match the VS custom (VS is on the left, X on the right).
Power Hands: Found some little black details I missed before.


Thermal Hands: I like the darker green of X.


Radar Hands: I don't know where they got yellow from. They're gold in everything I've seen. Like the antennas, I'm going to wait until I'm sure before I paint them gold.


Electric Hands: Better paint selection this time for all the colors. Also think I did a better job on the gold


And just for fun, a picture of Super-1 zapping Robot Super-1.
