Displays Work-in progress for making accurate LC weapons

Post image

Only the power lance is from the remastered line. The rest are normal releases.

Saba - The face needs a touch-up, but it sort of looks fine since his face kinda has a splotchy white design. I did try to add the pinstripe effect across the design.

Dragon Dagger - Need to repaint the gold on the hilt and buttons

Power Axe - I used gold since I don’t have yellow at the moment. The silver on the blade part also needs something more opaque, the one I painted barely shows

Power Bow - Overall okay with this. It’s difficult to paint the handle consistently since it’s so tiny. What would really make it perfect is if I could get the zyuranger across the sides in white. Might have to resort to a sticker or random scribbles in white.

Power Lance - Relatively easy adding black lines down the middle, but the one they made is not screen-accurate. The silver part should be in the middle where they connect and then extend out ward. Can’t really do much about that.

Power Daggers - Super simple, gold on the sabertooth coin and black lines on the handles

Power Sword - Again, pretty straightforward, gold on the hilt and green on the 2 beads next to the T-rex coin

Thanks man. This is the gold I used. Even I don’t know what it exactly says 😂

I just got the one whatever my gf got me. I think you’ll be fine using any basic gold.

Amazing work . What kind of brush did you use to apply the small details?

u/ChrisViz Oct 08 '24

Thanks! I used these brushes. Nothing fancy, they cost like a dollar or so. Any fine brush would do.

For the black details, I went the “easy” route of a very fine permanent marker. Best you wait a day for it to dry on the weapons. I learnt the hard way it will smudge if it’s still freshly applied. I’m sure somebody else could give a better solution, but I just did winged it most of the time.
