How hard is it to transition from painting Warhammer to painting Kaiju? For personal collection, not to sell...
Any amount of color theory helps so that should carry over. The techniques however are vastly different. Even if you use an airbrush to paint, base or highlight your minis the execution is not the same nor are the results you’re looking to achieve. This is assuming of course you’re wanting to perform traditional soft vinyl paint applications. If you’re working on garage kits there’s definitely a bit more overlap.
Yep, traditional application is what I'm curious about. I just don't want to ruin perfectly good blanks with novice application. I want to try it, but I'm so afraid of screwing up. I know I could look at existing paint schemes as a template, but that doesn't mean I'd nail the application.
I haven't experimented with the blanks I have for the same reason. I don't really have the time to paint right now anyway, but at one point when I was looking to put my skills to the test I went and bought a tub of those cheap soft plastic (vinyl?) dinosaurs. I painted a handful and it was both rewarding and felt like not far off the experience of painting soft vinyl figures.
After grumpily deciding that the FFVI opera scene was annoying, I now find myself humming it while I work. Oddly comforting.
Oh man, VI (III) was the first Final Fantasy I fell in love with back in the early ‘90s. That opera tune still resonates with me after all these years.
Finally goin’ to be makin’/releasin’ prints again in visual collaboration with Paul Kaiju. Locally printed. Entirely stoked.
I was so pissed. They had one that was only good for "Toys, Hobbies & Goods > Toys" but so many vinyls are listed under random sub categories like "Toys, Hobbies & Goods > Anime Figures or some other slight variation. CMON.
New 20% coupon that's available for the "Anime Figure" subcategory seems to be working on a lot of sofubi!
Wife and I bought a townhouse. Excited to pack up and move my plastic hoard for the last time (foreseeable future).

Been thinking about sofubi price inflation this year. Things that I coulda snagged ten years ago for $60 now going for #120 but...
Seeing some of the pricing on these lottos has me wow'd. Like my entire DCON budget for one figure? Kudos to those that have the cash but damn.
Ugh I know what you mean. I’ve seen a few toys that were around $70 years ago now go for $150. Makes me kick myself for thinking prices would go down due to lack of hype.
