    Inspired by the many great artists here on Skullbrain such as Paul Kaiju, LASH, Shapeshifta, Locomoco and Redhanded just to name a few, I went out and purchased an airbrush. thanks to all these guys for all the tips and tricks. Painting is tons of fun and has increased my appreciation for Japanese vinyl!

    No rare smogons were harmed during this experiment...

    Re: smogon

    What's to get? He's a truck... monster! How utterly sweet is that? I personally didn't warm up to the little guy at first either, but now I absolutely love him and would consider him one of my favorite sculpts. The Hokkukudo ones, though, I'm not so sure about yet.

    This is an awesome custom, especially for a first go. I really dig the blue and the eyes. I think more production Smoguns need to have darker paint schemes. I really enjoy the bright colors that have been released, but something totally out there would be nice for a change.

    Kirk, that has got to be the sweetest smogun I've ever seen so far and can't believe I didnt see it till now! the blue really brings out the windshield! and the headlights on his feet are a great touch. Love the silver on the palms!!! Excellent job Kirk!
