Typical Chakaman Quality. Cheers buddy!
Only nitpick: he is just too clean, isn't he?

Cheers man!

Yes, he is a bit too clean. I have yet to weather his outfit.

I can't seem to leave this one alone. My attempt at adding skin texture "spots".

That lil brush splatter technique adds so much. Looks great!

 

[Son Of Dengar]

In my opinion, those skin texture spots make or break a good paint job. Nice work dude! I wish more companies besides HT did that.

Your attempt at the spots looks ... well... spot on!

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Glorious! I also like all the painted details in the hands.

 

[TaliBane]

Yeah your paint skills are great Chakaman - I really like the variation on the head and hands.

Thanks guys! I appreciate it.

Yes, the "splatter effect" does work pretty good. I still need to touch up a few areas. Steven, thanks for giving me some pointers with that technique. Much appreciated my friend.

I'm updating my Kenner Nikto(Lathe). I repainted the headsculpt and repainted/weathered his pants. Next up are shoe guards. I also need to finish the belt and figure out how to do the stitching on the jacket. I will probably tweak the head guard too. I did this one a few years ago and he needed to be revisited.




Here is the before picture...

Wow, that is awesome.

And you are welcome. I love seeing you work your artistic magic.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks Steven.

You all are probably tired of seeing this guy, but I am adding more details to my Squidface sculpt.

awesome job Chris i still need him. have you heard from Duane lately i can`t get a hold of him.

 

[Stryker2011]

Looks pretty awesome already. Excellent paint skills.

 

[Chakaman]

Thanks. Looking forward to finishing him up.

The top of the sculpt has been giving me trouble. The spots look different colors/shapes in every reference photo I see. I have also been experimenting with different techniques.

I have not been able to get hold of Daune either.

Yeah. I talked to him last week. He is fine, just busy with stuff. Not much Hobby time these days.

A great technique to get those freckles/spots to look similar but not uniform is to use a ripped up sponge and gently dab the paint onto the sculpt.

Thanks for that, I appreciate it. I'll give it a go.

Since the last picture, I have adjusted the size and shapes of some of the spots. I'll post some updated pictures when I get a chance.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

The characters are looking really awesome.

Speaking of other cool techniques.... My wife let me have some of her make up sponges. This modification helps me achieve a very organic look also.

 

[D.R.37]

Best sponges right there.

It’s great to be able to share tips and tricks with each other.
