Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside They weren't, but the added alot of character to the figure, especially in the head. I'm not skilled enough yet to have intentionally manipulated the drip patterns. There's two or three in the feet that weren't ideal, but the head drips made a pretty cool burst effect.
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside I think that they are just part of the issues he had when doing this, as his first time painting the inside rather than the outside. Here's a bit from the original thread in the custom sectio
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside Yeah, like I said, they were not in purpose, as this was the first figure I painted from the inside, but they did not turn out bad. The person who almost bought this liked the 'hand-made' feel it gave the figure The colors came out really nice tho, and I think it's a great 'friendly' looking Zag.
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside Thanks, I'm actually just about to start work on a large commission, and have been amassing RxH and M1GO blanks.
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside Just a couple of quick tips for inner spray to avoid runs: first, before you paint try wiping off the inside of the vinyl with a paper towel. There's usually some run-off from the oils in the vinyl that have a tendency to build up on the inside and can cause drips in your paint (particularly if the figure was assembled right after the vinyl was pulled). Then, instead of using one thick coat use several thin coats. That will minimize the possibility of runs. If you notice your paint beading up on the inside (it looks like its sweating) that means there are still some oils on the inside of the vinyl. You might want to use some acetone/thinner to knock off the paint you applied, wipe it down (or even wash it out with some mild soapy water and let it dry) and then try again. Good luck on your customs!
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside One other thing: that paint job would probably look good with a dark rub on the outside to highlight the scales and downplay some of the inconsistencies in the inner coat. Just an idea!
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside you're charging someone 40 bucks for what amounts to a messed up experiment basically
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside I posted it up here because I had someone lined up to buy it and backed out... it wasn't expressly made to sell, but since I had one interested person I figured I'd jut test the waters.
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside I don't understand the problem. Gotta be tricky painting inside one o' these. Good luck.
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside Thanks for the support Lee. The price was already agreed upon by another member, so that was the obvious choice to try and re-list it publicly. All I'm gonna do with the money is buy more toys anyway
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside Very nice. I like it. I think more drips would look cool. Nice colors...keep it up.
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside 'brainers have been a tough crowd ever since I can remember.... Just enjoy toys, customizing, & whatever else you do. Some folks here like my stuff, some don't; but either way I'm here to stay. (because I don't have a blog)
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside Just think of it as constructive criticism to help improve your customizing.
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside Havea couple of the so called customisers always been so sensitive to critiscism? Man up fella.
Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside I enjoy the sometimes brutal honesty! Can't make an omelette without breakin' some eggs & all that...
