Re: Commander Bly
Needs a bit of work. I suggest buying a macrobinocular from arealight but otherwise good job!

Re: Commander Bly
The arm decals are nice, BUT the helmet, well, it's really sloppy if you ask me. But still nice!
Re: Commander Bly
Not your best work. I suggest using sharpies or paint with q-tip for detailing like this, it makes it look less bumpy.

Re: Commander Bly
I wouldn't waste 2 dollars on just that, I'd buy other stuff with it plus you forgot about shipping.Commander Four wrote:It's only 2 bucks. YOU DON'T HAVE 2 BUCKS! OMG YOUR BROKE!

Re: Commander Bly
Well, as everyone else said the helmet is sloppyish, and scratchy, as is the visor, but the decals look pretty nice. Did you make them yourself or are they someone else's?

Re: Commander Bly
Yea, shipping is 2 dollars regardless... Anyways, I like this, but the paint is never strait, I suggest using a toothpick to paint helmets.
Re: Commander Bly
I made them myself. DY: I did use a tooth pick actually, and it looks better in actual life.CommandoEighty-Oh wrote:Well, as everyone else said the helmet is sloppyish, and scratchy, as is the visor, but the decals look pretty nice. Did you make them yourself or are they someone else's?

Nice! They look very weathered; definitely the best part of the figure.
Well, did you thin out the paint? Lumpy paint often means it gets more paint on the toothpick than you wanted.

Re: Commander Bly
sadly I didn't thin it.(not sure how) But I was going for that weathered battle battered look.CommandoEighty-Oh wrote:ODST7 wrote:I made them myself.

Well, to do that(thin it, that is), just put water in it and stir it up until it feels(to the toothpick, not the finger ) thin; that's the great thing about paint: It'll always dry.
To make him weathered, I'd suggest taking a source of grey or dark grey and applying it to the already dried paint in scattered positions.

Re: Commander Bly
This isn't your best work OD... I agree with all the others.
The painting is kinda non-straight and sloppy...
I would use Axel's helmet painting tutorial if I were you!

Re: Commander Bly
Well it isn't that bad... and I like the other Macrobinocs you did in the CW scene then the one on Bly...
Re: Commander Bly
I actually pretty much duplicated that model. Just a few texturiol differences.Thunder-blade wrote:Well it isn't that bad... and I like the other Macrobinocs you did in the CW scene then the one on Bly...

Re: Commander Bly
Yeah... and some color differences. I would suggest sanding the macrobinocs and coloring over them with white so you can redo the black line.
Good job though!

Re: Commander Bly
I guess another thing I should of mentioned was not to rush the paint job. Apply one very thin and careful layer at a time. 3-4 layers later, you should have a very glossy, professional looking helmet. Take your time.
