This custom was to experiment some painting techniques, it didn't turn out too bad i guess...

went a bit crazy on photoshop on the last few photos... :)

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.
