    So I got the DBM Skullbrain recently, and was thinking that its a King Walder homage, you know? And I was thinking about who it could fight.

    And this is what I came up with:

    Microbrain:

    I think that came out brilliantly.
    Very clean and love the colors.

    Clean and simple. It would have been great if you could have done the blue on the inside...but that can be a real I FART A LOT (I've tried it on other figures and it really sucks unless you have a bent paint brush). Really good stuff, Phil.

    This is your best custom to date IMO. Simple, clean, great homage and the colours are amazing.

    Really nice.

    I keep coming back see if I would have added something else. But in the end I think this is as good as it gets without adding any unnecessary bullshit. Again great job and perfect color match !

    New painters please take note of this thread !

    nailed it. I don't collect SB, and I don't usually like "simple" paint schemes but I'd buy this in a second! Someone show this to Hiddy...
