Looks cool, but I would have liked it more if the pink was some sort of red.

funny thing is, that color is "florescent red"... I can only imagine what the florescent pink looks like...

I actually like the pink on this. Red/grey/black..it's a color combination that is great but is often seen.

I think with this the contrast with the pink will definitely make it more unique of the long run

Like what you did with the eye.
Hmm, does the fluorescent paint not go on as smooth as the other ones?
The Pink looks like my Purple I did the other day.
It's a bit coarse.

i think it just needs to be thinned a bit more... it seems to flow fine... might just be the "sharpness" adjustment I made.. tends to make things look grainy

I like the last smogun that you did the last time and this one. You are consistent with the colors and look of your customs which i think is very good.

So you're saying yours is pretty smooth?
Yea, it looks like I have to thin mine a bit more.
It was flowing fine from the airbrush so I didn't think of anything of it.
Anyways, good job.

Yeah it's pretty smooth, i really only noticed Silver needed to be thinned a lot.

Thanks again for all the kind words...

Honest criticism here. I think it looks sloppy and muddy. The pink highlights on the back (middle of the back, tail, shoulder) look especially sloppy. I know that over spray is part of "kaiju paint jobs", but there's an art to it and the over spray on this doesn't look intentional. The muddiness comes from spraying pink over grey (chest, probe, middle of the back). Also, some of the dark-grey spray over the light-grey looks sloppy and muddy - it doesn't blend. It looks like someone doing graffiti without can control...you can kinda see lines and uneven build-up.
Anyway, I like it when people piece out the Chaos segments with color like you did with this. But the execution just doesn't look very good to me.

Yeah I agree on a few things.... there are a few touch ups I should have done before taking pics, but I was tired so I shot them... I agree the pink over grey was kind of a mistake... i first sprayed the darker spots with metalic black, then went over it lighty for a smoke effect I forgot the couple of parts I needed to paint pink.... The little bit of overspray on the 3 dots on the tail was intentional, but I guess it came off looking sloppy...

I'm trying with each one, and I think this is one of the harder figures to paint due to the odd sculpt... Plus I just got this new Iwata HP-C, and air pressure regulator, so I'm really trying to get used to it, and the pressure and such...

Either way thanks for your input...

edit... I just touched it up a bit, and I'm happier with the little adjustments I made...
