Loose change? It's silver on the inside, so I don't think you'd see it :mrgreen:

I sprayed the blue of the eyes, but used a brush for the black... Yes..that florescent pink, and all paint is V-color

Smogun looks rad. Well done. Only suggestion is trying taking some pics with a better background..So it will draw out the colors of the sculpt

I like the colors you've used, but I'm not sure about the pupils. I suppose that is because I'm used to them not being there.

Yeah that was the one part I was stuck on.. Most are silver or gold.. I wanted to really give they eyes a bright "real" look... That color blue is great in person.

I wasn't sure on the pupils myself, but I have decided that I like them, due to "originality." I also think your paint is probably way better than these pics show.

I really like the choice of colors in this one. The grey spray inside does a nice job of bringing out the textures of the figure, but still keeping that clear thing going.

One question, is it the flash that makes the white on the feet look like that? It seems almost like the paint drowned out the detail in the cars on the bottom, but it is probably just the flash.

This is a great smogun custom, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words...

Yeah it's the flash... it also makes it look like there is more white on the "face" or top truck as well...
