OH SHIT SHE'S FROM MACROSS God dammit, another reminder for me to get off my ass and watch it already, haha.
For those who don't know, Goodsmile put up convention exclusives. I waited to put up the link when they actually fixed the system. It's fixed now, but slow. Good Smile Company
Fight Club Mako and the new Deku look fantastic! If I was a fully-fledged Nendo collector, I would have gone in. Gonna wait to see if we either get a Figma of that Mako or someone somehow smiths up a custom.
So..... just wanna try some diy effects stuff.... trying to make something like a sonic boom effect. Maybe it look better with a transparent white color? Like a wind sonic boom effect. I couldn't find the right effects parts for him online. Any ideas?
You're off to a good start. I'd recommend picking up some Bandai Tamashii Effect wind parts, clear for preference(they also have green and blue). They don't connect to figures via proprietary pegs, so you should be able to use them in a variety of ways. There's also wave effects which could be useful.
Again bored in lockdown. So just wanna do some DIY effects test. Already ordered the wind effect parts but have to wait bit longer because of the lockdown. And still wanna try the sonic boom effect. I know if it looks lame but I just bored. Forgive me
Try dry-brushing some white paint onto that ring so that it fades from white to clear going from front to back?
I think it actually looks pretty good but would look better without the black lines. I'm not sure if @fschuler's suggestion would improved the look but it very well might. Certainly worth trying if you've got a spare piece you can test it on.
Ah I see. Good idea I Will try that. But after I get back to Italy. Now stuck in lockdown in asia since February. Hope can go back in September
Crap! That sucks...good luck, man. I have a couple things in mind that I’m going to test...I’ll post pics...
Here’s a quick example of what I was talking about. If you airbrush it...or at least spend more time cutting it out and dry brushing it than I did, lol, your results could turn out a lot better.
