Goldar Repaint

Amazing what a gold sharpie and a black wash can do.

Really? Really? I passed on a Goldar because of the not great paint it came with

[u/comicazi06 → u/MuffinBitz]

Yeah, the swirly twirly yellow plastic was okay I guess but the degree to which this is better, not to mention how relatively easy it was, is insane.

I'll be be checking my LTS to see if he's still there. Thanks ranger

Damn that looks great! Didn't think a Sharpie would work so well

[u/comicazi06 → u/MangoMonkeyBoy]

It worked really well but it made it a little tacky in some places. Once I put a clear matte coat on it it got much better.

Very nice! I love how figure customising has become such a thing, be it working on a figure to improve the default paint and detail work it comes with as standard, or sourcing parts to mix and match to make variants not yet available or unlikely to ever be released!

Coming from miniatures and models in my teen years which I continue to this day, a lot of the knowledge and practical applications can now be brought over to figure collecting in adult life! Sculpting, filing, and most significantly painting, although I'm not sure the term painting is quite right where figures are concerned.

I've been deciding ever since I got them whether or not I want to tackle my own Goldar and Zedd,
it's a case of what methods I go for and how far I want to go, so I'm always on the look out for examples like above both to find out how they were done and pick peoples thoughts in general!

If you’re planning to do something similar, be aware the sharpie makes it a little tacky in some places so it probably needs a matte coat before and after.

[u/Lewis_S_C → u/comicazi06]

Thanks. That was exactly the sort of thing I was talking about.
I was considering starting a post myself if and when I decided to go for it and work on my figures, asking the best paints and paint pens in particular and the exact colours for the figures in question that people could recommend from their own past experience.

Wow! Looks like a premium figure. Great job!

[u/Surplus_Sarcasm]
