Post Painting Balbagon?
I discovered this guy kinda late--and found
a clear pink version. I really like the sculpt
and the clear idea is good but the clear with
only a bit of red spray doesn't do anything to show
the details. Thinking of a light drybrushing with
some color like silver? Sorry for the phone pic--

or maybe a black wash then rub the black off the
high points and dry brush very lightly with silver?

Aight--I guess I could try something out and then post. I just
wanted to get feedback on color combos that would work.
Unexpected things look good. I have one of the Lil Japan
Mutant Chaos figs which is pinkish with a black rub and
random other colors that all work great together.

I know what it's like to hem & haw about how to paint something, but there comes a point when you just need to jump in there. Put some paint on it already.

IMHO, painting over clear pink vinyl is sacrilege :shock:
But, like Nike says: "Just Do It;" because you can always fix it with some acetone!
