Cool Repaint - especially if it still lights up under the black
I dunno if it would show up on cam tho - but it wouldve been cool if you showed us it lighting up under the black - I'd love to see that
I'm be using one of those for a light up deadeye samurai in the future

Take something sharp(like a needle, exacto knife blade, etc) and pick away at the eyes. After you get the black off then give it a LIGHT coat of white. Light enough to let the light through but dark enough to show up.

Yeah, you should do the eyes in white. It'll look awesome!

I concur not my best paint job and I probably should have used tape. My bad. I'll redo the uniform as soon as I get my current 2 projects out of the way
As for the eyes they actually light up red still and when I press the button on the back that has an eriee red black glow all over the upper torso and it was really hard to kee even a wash would eliminate the light. With out the light they are alomst invisible I know. but I'll have to figure away to remove the paint from them and see if I can do a white wash that the light will show through. And that I may not do for fear of the damage I might do.
But again this is what I want honest harsh critiques they make me a better customizer.

Not bad, looks pretty good.
You asked for honest opinions though, now yer gonna get'em
It may just be me but some of the black lines look a bit sloppy. The ones around the chest look a bit light in some places and other lines don't look as straight as you normally shoot for. If you need to make straight lines you could try using tape, I know a few guys here could vouch for it.
Also, I think the eyes would look better if you filled them in, maybe with white to contrast the black. Right now the head looks a bit abstract with a solid black all around.
