classics deep cover

[bedtime]

so before reprolabels decided to do the KO goshuta and minerva stickers as the group project, doing stickers for a classics deep cover and clamp down were in the talks... i really liked the idea and found me two red alerts and started to work...

first up is deep cover. black repaints are always more fun, right? overall i'm not suuuper happy with the result, but its pretty good for me. its looking a bit plain right now but hopefully the sticker set actually happens, as that'll help a lot.

here's the pic i used for reference:

Very slick and smooth paint work there, bud. Was that by hand or with an airbrush? I don't think he looks plain at all, the silver really makes him pop. Keep up the good work. :)

Oh, and what's this about Minerva stickers? What mold are they for? They sound really interesting. :)

great colour combo

its hand painted. i mean the pics dont show the fingerprints and shit in the paint, thankfully! the flash also helps bring out the blue which seems darker in person. maybe its just the lighting in my room though...

the mold is a KO people have found on ebay... they're cheap, decent quality but just need stickers to make them look "right". you gotta be on teh reprolabels message board to be a part of it, but other than that i'm not sure of the details.

Great job. It looks very clean. You did an amazing job, hand painting can be tricky.

Turn out great, bud. Glad you go it all figured out.

looks good, takes a bit to keep the fingers out of the finish,

[Tekkamanraiden]

Very nicely done.

yeah, i figure if i was more patient with letting it set before re-assembly or like between coats, but i cant be bothered with that :P
