Yeah... I'm doing a sentai set of brains, so there will be a blue, yellow and a pink one coming up. I'm waiting for some special paints to finish the rest.

Although I prefer the red at this point this one is really great too. These are going to look really great as a set. Nice work.

Thanks guys... The red one is definitely supposed to be more vibrant. The green one is supposed to look sort of dark and bland in normal lighting, and then pop when the lights go out.

Using V-color for these? They look great. That subtle green for the body contrasts well with the emerald head.

It's a combination of Rit Dye (for the torso), V-color for the gloves and pants, and Tamiya clear paint for the brain. V-color tends to come out relatively non-glossy, so I use the Tamiya acrylic to get a nice shine - it looks like a nice life-saver green.

Very nice, I love the way ithe brainsacks look on the Green and Red so far. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Skull Brain? I'd say 3.

It's alright, I could do a cuople of things to make it pop, like say put it in my display case. Go on and send it my way and I'll see what I can do.

LOL... usually, it's a hard outer shell with a chewy center, isn't it? This one is hard candy skull with a chewy outer brain.
Moto - it was like a 15 second exposure to get that image with me tinkering with a flashlight to get the backlighting. It was quite a production to get it shot, especially while fighting off my cat who was curious about what I was doing.

Cool. It reminds me of the Walder Brain but with green instead of purple.
