Sideshow: what changed to get a Rex portrait looking that good?

[Matt S]

Kudos to Sideshow in getting the face of Rex looking as excellent as it looks - very good for a production paint job, and one of the best Sideshow has done so far

Sideshow always rocks out the sculpts, but the final production paint looks awful time and again.

What was changed in the paint dept to get the final piece looking as good as that is. I am specially speaking of the portrait, not the armor....

Thank you

Considering how awful past final production pieces looked in the paint dept, what changed so dramatically with Rex? And are these changes here to stay?

Thank you

I agree! Though they've had some great jobs in the past, too. Old Ben and Clone Obi jump to mind. Gandalf and the Hobbits were also great.

With Old Ben, the sculpt was amazing, but the paint made him look sickly, IMO

Clone Obi was decent.....
