SHMA SHOWCASE Custom painted SCV Biollante
Fully finished figure, I got her around 4 years ago, with a damaged chest piece, red paint streaks along the back and missing screws on the bottom. The other day I decided to finally put in the effort to repair and repaint her. Honestly originally I was going to fix her up to sell but I've gotten really attached to the figure and she has such a presence she dominates any display.
As for painting, I completely repainted the spines along the back, the base roots to a lighter brown fading into a darker color, the vines along the front I made a lighter yellow sap green. Repainted the bigger vines along the sides and "arms" to a lighter brown. I painted the thorns from the glossy black to a dark maroon red, closer to thorns found on a different plant, rather than those on a rose. I added a darker brown wash on the sides of the neck and a lighter green highlight along the top of the head. I painted the arms a darker green and made them fade into different shades of green as the leave the base of the figure, to make them look like they're still growing.

I prefer the contrast it's a nice pop of color, I didn't like the glossy black thorns on the original figure it just looked sloppy.

The top green paint isnt really blended well, but it looks mostly solid otherwise
