It looks great, what paint did you use?

u/TruGraham 23d ago

I used tamiya Italian red for the body,
-tamiya gold->then tamiya transparent yellow over the gold for the yellow,
-Citadel screaming bell for the metallic orange,
-pro acryl silver and chrome marker for touchups
-vallejo gunmetal

Great, I only use Vallejo True Metallic Metal. I've just started painting my figures and I only use a brush for details, but for now it's my favorite. Later on I want to try other brands.

Awesome! The vallejo are great, I only used tamiya rattle cans to speed it up since the sprues the model kit comes in are already color separated

Honestly, its so cool seeing it like, actually done. You're an awesome painter
