I usually pre...Wow! Thanks for the praise Curis :)<br /><br />I usually prefer to do non-canon paint schemes. Not because I'm a rebel, just get a bit bored of looking at the same colour from the books sometimes. This one I'd never seen painted up like the illo before though, so I decided to give it a go.<br /><br />I'm happy with the pose, a bit zanny, like he's ambling along.

I just declared Nico's dreadnought as the greatest incarnation of all time and then you do one too!<br /><br />I really like the sense of movement you've worked into this plumpy kits. And the osl glows on the plasma and the heat thing really help draw the eye away from the shonky original sculpting. The green is a great choice of colour and a nice reference to the old art.Curishttp://www.ninjabread.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90423495413148122.post-72251908826628634552018-10-28T03:59:55.585-07:002018-10-28T03:59:55.585-07:00It's hard to stay focussed looking at other pe...It's hard to stay focussed looking at other people's blogs Isn't it Ryder?
