 A Simple Custom, but Infinitely Satisfying.
So I got the DBM Skullbrain recently, and was thinking that its a King Walder homage, you know? And I was thinking about who it could fight. And this is what I came up with: Microbrain:   based on Microman M104 http://www.microforever.com/M10X.htmWhat do you think? Phil

I think that came out brilliantly. Very clean and love the colors.

 Re: A Simple Custom, but Infinitely Satisfying.
Clean and simple. It would have been great if you could have done the blue on the inside...but that can be a real I FART A LOT (I've tried it on other figures and it really sucks unless you have a bent paint brush). Really good stuff, Phil.

 Re: A Simple Custom, but Infinitely Satisfying.
This is your best custom to date IMO. Simple, clean, great homage and the colours are amazing.
Really nice.

 Re: A Simple Custom, but Infinitely Satisfying.
I keep coming back see if I would have added something else. But in the end I think this is as good as it gets without adding any unnecessary bullshit. Again great job and perfect color match !
New painters please take note of this thread !

 Re: A Simple Custom, but Infinitely Satisfying.
nailed it. I don't collect SB, and I don't usually like "simple" paint schemes but I'd buy this in a second! Someone show this to Hiddy...
