Being a peon in the big games gets REALLY old.
Kratos continuing to come along. Touched up the beard, now I need to paint the eyebrows somehow.
Kratos resin print WIP.
You’re welcome! Hope it comes in handy at some point!
At this point, let it dry for about a day before varnishing it to seal the effect in. Once the varnish cures, you can handle it freely.
Step 4: While the oil paint is still wet and gunky, use a stiff bristle brush (I used an old tooth brush) to brush down the part in the direction of the grain you sanded earlier. This will scrape off most of the paint; leaving wood grain streaks along the part.
Step 3: Oil Paint. I used a Burnt Umber, thinned it down to the point where it was a little loose but not down to wash consistency and roughly slathered it all over the part. You can be messy here.
Step 2 is base color. I used a color primer to save steps. You want a light color for the highlights. A pale yellow, light buff, or even a light desaturated green or orange could work depending on the type of wood you’re going for.
Step 1 is to rough up the plastic with coarse sanding paper or sponges. Rougher the better. I used 180 grit here. It’s important to keep the scratches going one direction because you’re simulating wood grain.
I’ve been asked to write up a quick guide on how I painted this wood effect so I’m going to try to make a reply thread of the steps I used.

One should remember it’s never a good idea to skip leg day. (WIP, Obviously)

Thank you! I’ve been looking at others peoples’ builds and I totally understand why most people just don’t bother painting the helmet now!
A Banpresto prize figure I upgraded with some oil paints, dry brushing, Tamiya weathering master, and varnish.

Modification allows for greater articulation in the elbow bend.

In lieu of the PGnU announcement: a build from last year! Took me just over a year to compete the PGU RX-78. Inner frame was fully painted with hand painted details.
