Here he is. I based him on the Romandoh figure, which I also have. He looks sweet standing next to his huge counterpart!

Sweet paint job.

[Robotube]

These lok so much better in real life. The colors are far better and more accurate when you see them for real, and you dont see the little mistakes, since these pics are super closeups.

I think you did a great job once again my friend!

[jkaris]

Great job man! Especially the eyes and the chain, what a difference!

[doc_moore_j]

Indeed, that is really cool. Keep up the good work Jason, and be sure to post them as you finish them.

You said you use Testors acrylics? They look like they have a nice gloss to them. I used craft acrylics on mine and the colors look good but I might have to manually put a gloss on them. The testors seem real vibrant.

Yet another great figure! Very good!

Oh, man!! I love it! Kendaman is one of my favorite Romandos and one of my favorite MUSCLEs. You did an excellent job.

Yep...Testors Acrylics...At your Local Walmart. They have a beautiful 12 pack for $7, and idividuals for $1.00 each. I bough Teal and Purple extra, since they were really nice shades. It even comes with Silver and Gold, which I used to make the metallics on Kendaman. I have seen figures painted with Citadels, and while they're really nice, Testors does just as good a job, at a cheaper price, plus they are very easy to find. Just make sure you don't get the enamels. They don't hold to MUSCLE plastic very well.

I'd like to see a custom paint gallery here on AKIA! I think it's a really awesome extension on to an already fun hobby.

A muscle sized paint brush?

[arforbes]

That's a great shot of the huge Kendaman holding the small painted one. I like the new avatar too!
