    I've been mostly working on Glyos customs and my upcoming resin release lately, but I was inspired after picking up this black blank the other day along with some new paints to get it painted ASAP.

    I painted this Queen in colors reminiscent of the old Bullmark Guiro Seijin, which features my favorite vintage paint job.

    I painted this guy entirely with Monster Kolor over black vinyl. The primary color was Clover, a dark green with pearl mixed in, painted on while leaving some black in the recesses for deep shading. From there I highlighted the green with a mix of Clover and regular MK Green. Next I painted the reds using the regular red and a highlight mix of red and pink. The blue is C-thru blue over silver. The head shell also received the blue pearl ‘chaser’ that came with the Clover set, and it gives off an awesome mutli-pearl finish.

    Looks good, P5! It's a little glossy for my taste but I really like the colors you went with.

    The only thing I would like to see done differently (and this is just a preference) would be if you could have got some black behind the teeth in the mouth. I think it would've made the individual teeth stand out a little more.

    Still, nice work! 8)

    Wow, wonderful work Ben. I'm not familiar with this toy, how do you change the face?

    Thanks, guys. This guy was a blast to work on and is a hugely fun toy to mess around with.

    Dustin- I thought about leaving more shading behind the teeth, and on black vinyl I certainly could have, but sometimes you just end up where the spray leaves you ;)

    Axolotl- The faces and pelvis are one piece, and then the head shell is a separate part that slips over the faces and is actually what moves.
