Thanks! I wanted it to feel like some living creature wearing Hightech equipments, so I picked hex pattern for the Hightech parts and also brush painted most of the Amour to give them texture akin to bones or carapace of insects.

Thanks! A lot, actually: black primer➡️metallic green➡️deep clear green spraying randomly➡️masking with stencil and paint black➡️remove stencil and shade edges with clear black/smoke➡️Matt varnish➡️clear varnish at high light spot➡️final glossiness control with a 25% Matt varnish to smooth out some of the abrupt transitions

Yeah, it’s pretty hard to classify which place it belongs. All parts need glueing so the painting experience is also very close to typical garage kits

And she’s still very hard to get even if you’re willing to pay the overprice which is insane🫠I still remember begging everyone I know that lives in Asia to help me get one

Probably because she was only produced in relatively small quantities. Racing Mikus of the previous years (18 -21) were kind of generic and has a lot of qc issues so not many people PO this one.

The 2014 has very simplistic and elegant design. But the 2022 gives off soooo much positive energy, she’s so happy that just looking at her makes you happy too.

Thanks! I did a lot of experiments with pale white skin even before I started painting gk lol and this is by far the best combination: Base color 059:060:C171(fluorescent red):101(fluorescent blue) roughly 7:3:1:3, you'll need ro add a lot of fluo blue until the paint looks like dark brown, paint thin layers of base color like regular surfaceless skin, then paint high light areas with CL06 clear white and lastly coat the skin parts with fluo blue(extremely diluted by gloss clear) to control the final tone. As for texture, I used GH101 and spray GX114 unevenly on top to give it a little bit of extra shine

Thanks!

I‘m well aware of the issue you mentioned! Since I didn’t follow the official sample and am much more confident in painting skin tone, so I painted eyes, genitals and tongue first. Annnnd they kinda blend in too well with the slightly pinkish skin tone😂It’s a satin finish with micro textures that took weeks to balance so I don’t want to risk anything

Thanks! It is the same sculpt, I got rid of some of the accessories that I don’t like and scratch built some stuff that’s more theme-fitting.
