As some know, I've been collecting the candy toy version of Gaim called Arms Action. These, being candy toys, are lacking in the paint department, so I've been making them more show accurate as I've gotten them. Here's some images to show off what I've done. I don't consider them complete, but at least presentable.
I didn't take many pictures before customizing, so for reference, here's Bandai's page showing how they look with just stickers: http://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/rider/action/ First up: Sigurd. I mainly added a ton of black and painted the Sonic Arrow. I still need to get some green to finish him. Baron. He has only 3 stickers left and they make up his belt. Everything else is painted, including the chest that was originally a sticker. I probably put the most work into him just because of the chest and weapon needing yellow. Gridon Pretty much the same as Baron, but with more focus on the hammer because I love that hammer. Kachidoki Arms Gaim. Filled in the missing black, added silver to the armor joints and flags, painted most of the bolts, and painted the DJ Gun. I may remove the gold from the gun as it didn't turn out like I wanted. Ryugen The one I started with. Mainly added the black to the arms and the gold details. He looked so wrong without the black arms. On the Kiwi Arms, I just painted the weapons. Kurokage and Gaim These are a bit more fun and silly. On Kurokage I painted his weapon and gave him a silly Japanese ghost hat (that I honestly can't find the name of). On Gaim, I painted his weapons, the silver on the armor joints, the silver on his torso (under the armor), and rigged up a trash can lid hat. Last edited by Blade Raider; 05-20-2014 at 01:31 AM.. |

Your paint work is solid! I didn't realize it was a custom job at first.

Thanks guys
Here's another round. Some are updates of above. First, Knuckle I added any of the silver not on the Arms. I also painted the black on the head (it was originally brown like Gridon) an update to Sigurd Got rid of those crappy green stickers and added the rest of the black details to the helmet. Ryugen Grape Arms First painted the gun, which I'm very happy with. Then decided to try the purple. Not really happy with how the purple matches what's already there. Gaim's Arms update On Orange, I added the green missing from the sword and the green on the top of the orange itself. On Pine I just painted the green and silver on the weapon (the rest was already painted, surprisingly). On Strawberry I painted the joints silver and the strawberry symbols on the kunais. Finally, Zangetsu's weapons I was having a hard time finding stuff on Zangetsu to paint. It was either gold (an evil color to paint) or something else the stickers sadly did better. So I focused on the weapons. His sword was white. I opted to go with black instead of trying to match Gaim's blue sword (that I have a couple of anyways). It's not "correct" but I like it. The Melon Defender was missing the paint on the silver areas and the moon symbol at the top. I might end up painting the back of the shield to as I believe it's suppose to be silver as well.

I'm now working on Part 4. First one to be completed enough to show off is Kiwami Arms. Unlike past figures, I have a blank at the moment to show the before and after.
Meanwhile, I'm currectly working on the Lemon Arms capes. I took a quick picture of Duke's mostly finished cape next to Baron's unpainted cape before starting on Baron. A little black and silver make a lot of difference. PS The shiny silver and the shiny stickers didn't like my camera. Sorry if the images didn't come out well.

I'm back with more Arms Action Customs.
Baron Lemon Arms Let's start with Baron Lemon Arms. I cut the Genesis Driver off of an extra Duke and glued it onto an extra Baron's body. The rest is just taking the extra Lemon Arms and putting it on Baron. This was made easier by Bandai including the stickers for Baron's chest plate. Shin Kurokage Did the same thing here for the Genesis Driver (from an extra Marika this time) and the new spear head is just part of a GI Joe sword. It's not quite right, but it at least invokes Shin Kurokage. Duke Just paint this time to get him looking closer to the show. Mostly black details. Marika Same as Duke. Just paint for mostly black details. |

I just brought some of the gaim toy figures for my son. I just happened to come across one of your paint jobs on Google. I thought it would be neat to add some extra flair.
Do you use markers or paint? Do you also have some images of things that you haven't posted yet? |
