daimyo iron painter entry
« on: 04 September 2012, 18:20:03 »
so i know a lot of people are saying how ugly this mech is, but before i just didn't care for it, now i am growing fond of it.
it paints really well, and has some great ares where you get the open spaces for detail, but some panel lines to do some highlights.

thanks again to work troll fro hosting this event,and too all that entered the level of talent was amazing ! such inspiration to keep improving!

so here was my entry, it was kind of an ode to Japanese prints. i had 3 different prints in front of me as a source reference.
and thank you to Caz for keeping sharp and focused on what i had to improve  during the WIP.

It's looks never bothered me.

Getting it on the legs?  That's a whole different matter.

i have to say it is a very well done representation of the mech
Overkill is only overkill when you cannot find the pieces.

i think if it weren't for that somewhat lazy PPC arm, this would be a fairly well-liked mini in general. nice work showcasing it's strengths!

It's quite artistic, and actually looks like it translated well from inspiration to reality.  Though, I do feel sorry for the crew that paints it post battle.
