    Hey all just got this guy done. I used tamiya and pactra for the clear colors and krylon for the base color and final sealer coat. His rifle is a modded g1 rifle and his axe is from RM KO prime. Also i removed his stupid chest spin gimmick. I made it so it turns but not spin wildly. If you like my work come check me out on youtube

    The colours are vibrant. I like it lots. I'm not feeling the 'eyes' though. Hehe. But that's just me!!

    Thank you

    very good idea unfortunately it was already clear blue i wanted it to retain the transparence. Honestly though the thought had not crossed my mind until you said so even though your idea is anime accurate.

    Oh np i see what your saying. i just thought it looked better than filling in the pupils with putty.

    Very nice colors. However, I really don't care for the crest. Along with his eyes, it makes him look almost skeletal.
