    I haven't painted in months, but now that things have calmed down a bit I managed to find some time to paint. The monster is "Gilmos" by Dream Rocket- It was a really classic looking kind of Kaiju, so I went with a somewhat traditional paintjob.

    If anyone is interested in owning this, drop me a PM- It'll be no more then the cost of the figure plus shipping. this was mainly an exercise for me to get re-acquainted with my airbrush. :)

    thanks for looking. comments/critiques/thoughts are always welcome.

    You did a beautiful job. Looks great.
    The time off from painting doesn't seem to have affected your skills.

    The paint suits the sculpt perfectly. Very well done.

    Rad man, glad to see you painting again. This guy looks great! Time to make some of that unpainted vinyl of yours shine.

    I'm usually not a fan of custom paint jobs but this is legit. I love how you let beautiful clear blue vinyl breathe. Great job

    Thanks everybody! Glad it's well received. As for painting more of my unpainted collection... that's more then likely not going to happen. :) I've got some stuff set aside to paint, and stuff headed down the pipe hopefully. And to reititerate, I wouldn't mind finding him a new home for him for cost + shipping... I'm just saying. :)
