[Rattrap's tail]

Just to make things clear: It's the Revoltech righr? looks plain awesome.

[Solrac333]

That IS awesome. Doesn't look Revoltechy at all.

rattrap's tail - thank you, yes it's the little revoltechs :)

solrac333 - thank you very much ! :)

[MacrossFa19]

Very nice!
Is that 1 or many washes?

[- Z -]

That has got such a unique look. Very cool!

macrossfa19 - Thank you ! I actually did not use the wash method for this one ! i basically paint the whole figure or the parts which would need details black first, then i proceed to wipe away the excess... If the black settles in i will sand them off, i prolly did this like 2-3 times to get the desired effect, after that i get into finer detailing and finally some dry brushing for the "stained" look.. "hope my 2 cents helped !"

zildjian - thank you ! it was a hard decision for this one, i initially wanted to paint it as usual but considering revoltechs most people who bought them coz they wanted to play or pose them as much as possible... i'm pretty proud to say that this one has no paint chipping problems at all ! or at least it's the best i can do for now ! :D

Dude, that paintjob is so classic 70-80s anime! It totally looks like it came from a screenshot from the series intro animation.

thank you ! well that was exactly what i was going for, well it didn't end up looking as good as the animation but i kinda liked it ! cheers ! :D
