  Lixx wrote: One of the main reasons I love M1 (besides the sculpts) is the amazing paint jobs they do. They have a knack for using bright metallic paint colors that I don't see often in other kaiju. Maybe someone like LASH could elaborate on this, but when watching the second clip painting the Godzilla, does he apply a clear pearl sheen to the figure? Is that how they get the colors to stand out so much? I mean I believe the V Colors they use already have a metallic sheen to them, but as I'm not a kaiju painter I must profess ignorance to the process.
Chris Yes, most M1 figures have a gloss clear coat.
On some figures you can actually see the depth of the clear coat.
After seeing Yuji-san paint the Matango I looked at my painted yellow Lucky Bag Matango and there is a spot on the left leg where he missed the clear coat, exactly where he's holding the Matango in the video. 
Hey Roger - check out Masaru, the master of teeth and eyes! That's an awesome brush he's using. I'm bringing him a bag of latex gloves if he goes to Chiller.

As far as I know, he will be at Chiller.

I'm a smoker and there's no way I can handle the fumes.
On another note, when I burp with my respirator on, it smells. Lol.

From the looks of his hands I'd say the master is giving him some spray time. Coolest apprenticeship ever.

Of course they do detail work like the teeth and eyes with brushes.
Once I asked Masaru what his least favorite figure was. "King Ghidorah." It means 3x the work for him.

I made my post in reference to the fact that some people on here hate it when people paint figures with paintbrushes and think that the only way to paint is with an airbrush. Sarcasm never reads well on any forum. turtletooth wrote: After seeing Yuji-san paint the Matango I looked at my painted yellow Lucky Bag Matango and there is a spot on the left leg where he missed the clear coat, exactly where he's holding the Matango in the video. I was wondering about that too. After Yuji sprayed the figure, he just handed it to Dennis and I thought "What about the foot he was holding on to...isn't he going to spray that?"....and now I know.

I didnt talk about the video because as some of you know I hate my picture being taken as I always look like some crazed hobo 90% of the time.
But it was pretty fuckin awesome and I have to thank my friend here in Japan working that out so I could go up there, Yuji and everyone at M1GO rule. It was a promotional trip for Beams which is a clothing retailer here in Japan focused on young people.

So the trip to M1GO was part of the promo for Beams (Beams is cool) or was it more of a "Hey...M1GO is near where we're doing the promo. Can we check it out?" kind of thing.

Dennis I'm so envious you got to go to the motherland (for me at least it would be M1). What an experience that must have been. One question I'm sure on everyone's mind is : YOU KEPT THAT MATANGO RIGHT? LOL!
