My First Kaiju Custom

I've had this Thunder Lagoon mini laying around for a while, so I took an off day and had fun painting this. I definitely want to get more now haha.

 

cool man! is this all painted with a brush?

 

nice work....!!!!

 

Looks great Troy! Brushwork?

 

well done

i wait for second work

 

Thanks everyone!

ted koppel and shuzluva, yes this was all done with brushes.

 

Nice colours, it looks really good. What kind of paint did you use? Is some of it metallic or just a high gloss finish?

 

Thanks! I use citadel paints with a high gloss finish.

 

Ah, I thought I noticed a little bit of Warhammer style brush work there!

 

Hahaha indeed! Warhammer nerd for a long time now.

 

Looks good, dude.

The colors work well for the sculpt and the application, overall, is really nice. I like the way the shell pops off of his back and you did a nice job of bringing out the texture on the body.

To be fair, it does look like you struggled a bit on the teeth. I think the only reason they stand out is because your brushwork is so well done everywhere else.

Still, nice work.

 

Thanks Dustin and thanks for the crit on the teeth. As I look at it more I totally agree. I'll make sure to tighten that up better in future customs. I was kind of at a crossroads when I painted them white and the loose job I did on them do make them pop out.

Thanks again

 

awesome first custom troy! can't wait to see what else you got cooking

 

Thanks a lot dude!!


Here's a WIP teaser of my 2nd Kaiju custom:

 

I put my Thunder Lagoon custom in my shop, but I'd also be up for any Kaiju trades if anyone is interested
