Complete Deluxe Modification CDM - Faiz Gear and Faiz Axel ( Kamen Rider Faiz Series DX )

I think all are the Korean version... Gotten this a long time ago, and recently decided to change the belt-strap using a (couple of) 3rd Party CSM Zero-One Driver belt-strap. Yes, have to cut and join extra length of another belt-strap as my waist too fat. Luckily superglue can be used, and most gaps filled up with bits from cutting the belt-strap. 

With that in mind, I also decided to put some paint onto the remaining DX Faiz Gear that I have to make them look more closer to show or the CSM version. Not easy, considering the rubbery plastics cannot be painted, and the black acrylic paint also peels super easily off the plastic surfaces. But finally done, not perfect, but close enough for me.

Have since ordered a big suitcase to put in the huge Faiz Driver...

*** EDIT: I had forgotten to take pictures of the DX Faiz Axel's touch up with silver paint for the "screws" on the watch, which the CSM version has.

Thought of a lot of ways to attach the beltstrap, including removable methods... in the end have to settle for the usual fixed type... Used cable-ties to secure the belt-strap to the original belt-strap parts, after drilling 2 small holes on each of the part...






Next, I painted the detailing lines and areas black with acrylic paint and a super small nail brush... Tough...  

Also sprayed the phone collector part to silver at the exterior sides, similar to the CSM version...

Assembling the pieces together... Looks good...

Continue to paint the DX Faiz Phone's Mission Memory, and also painted the antenna to silver except for a hole on the face of tip... 

Looks good....

Proceeded to touch up for the DX Faiz Pointer... The front chromed part is a replacement from a recently bought one, as the old one was terribly defaced after spraying it with chrome silver paint...


For the side buckles, I made a U shape piece to "clip" onto each side buckle. The velcro straps are taken from the spare 3rd Party CSM Belt-straps ... 



Red paper covered with strips of transparent sticky tape is attached to the "pipes" area using double-sided tape. Did not last long, am going to try to use the Daiso plastic (contact) glue tomorrow to try to stick them securely... Hope it works... 

End results look not bad!!! The CSM Faiz Gear is way too expensive, so this set will make a good stand-in...




Next modification will likely be doing either the form-light-colour modification for the Arcle Belt, or start on the Typhoon Belt Project...
