Thanks!
Hey, I just realized I posted this in the Vintage forum! DOH! I meant to put it in Japan Toys, as I seriously doubt Parababies quality as "vintage"! Moderators, please feel free to move this thread.

Looks great by the way.
EDIT: I followed your link, and answered my own question. Thanks!

Nicely done! I like that you're working with a venerable kaiju colorway. Those yellow/blue combos are always killer. Keep painting!

Thanks for the compliments, guys! Yeah, my general procedure and what specific paint/materials I used are covered in the CDX article. Real fun to do...and pretty simple.
I don't even own an airbrush, so this is all me fumbling with a few aerosol cans! When working with that glow spraypaint, you have to work quickly, as the spray caps clog with glow powder *FAST*.
Anyway, I don't necessarily care about movie-accurate color schemes in my glowies...but in this case, it was cool that I could come reasonably close to what this thing looked like in the movie...all with glow paint!

I saw this at DX - glad you decided to post it here too. Just gorgeous (and with spraypaint as well!) I really look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

The color scheme + the fantastic glow remind me of those light-up glow worm plushes that supposedly made yer kid feel safe at night...sometime in the 80's
