I really hate painting SO-DO weapons!
Well here's a whole set of them! I mostly just painted the edges of the swords. I still need to add white paint to the Fourze Barizun Sword, but otherwise I'm complacent with the way these turned out. I actually already have a few of these- they are the same that came with their equivalent figures. Like SO-DO Chronicle Gaim and Den-O. I also plan to turn the spear into a weapon for Durendal. Also not Toku related but I'm testing out painting some Transformers and I started with a small Spychanger. A little before and after pic: Fire Convoy is one of my favorite Transformers. They take paint better than I thought they would, but it's unclear how well it will hold up.

Your painting all looks great! If I'm interested in trying it, do you have any resources I could use to learn?

I've covered a lot of my techniques here in this thread and I'm happy to answer and questions you might have. Honestly, if you just dive right in on a practice kit, I think you'll find that it's all easier than you think.

Wanted to pop in and say that both this thread and the Figure-Rise one have actually been pretty great resources for certain aspects to kit building/painting. I actually recently painted up a kit for the first time(Faiz Axel), and the chrome pen you recommended was a great tool for it.

Figure-Rise Standard Kamen Rider OOO
Another great Figure-Rise kit! Lots of great detail, but even though the chest emblem is pre-painted, there is a ton of missing colors (namely black on the yellow parts). I never built the MG version, but I can see some improvements on this kit over the MG. The painted areas: Chrome silver behind the eyes. Black paint on the shoulder pads, forearms, and OOO scanner. Yellow paint on the chest and the 4 pairs of hands I repainted all the silver on the belt, repainted the coins, gold trim on each coin and the scanner. Black panel line throughout the red and green parts. Overall a great kit, though all the parts fit a little more loose than other FRS kits resulting in joints that aren't as tight. Surprisingly, there is little to no wrist movement unless you extend the hands out a really far amount at which point they are prone to falling out entirely. You get a lot of hands and they don't even bother with stickers for them at all. The "neutral" hand is a little more claw-like than previous kits. Speaking of claws, the Toraclaws have a lot of filler in between each blade. It makes sense but really looks odd. Maybe I'll drill them out in the future. This kit is definitely ready for some other forms, but I'm surprised we haven't seen any yet. I haven't shown the effect parts but they actually look very good when painted.

Amazing, your work always impresses me! Even giving the medals gold rims.
They have in fact announced Tajador as another form this can form swap with and it's out next month I believe

Bunch of new SODO figures came in recently. Basically took me a whole day to do 4 and a half figures. First up Kamen Rider Naki.
Lots of silver and white paint. This is actually the last figure I did for the night and I was really burning out so the paint is a little sloppy. Cool figure but wow I forgot how loose the Zero One SODO figures are. Next is Kamen Rider Espada and Kamen Rider Calibur. Saber suits are just so damn good. They really exemplify the detail of the line. Espada's Lamp Do Alangina side is a beautiful shade of gold with splendid detail including a nicely molded chain and even eyes inside the lamp lid. Calibur on the other hand came with a decent amount of paint application and the silver really pops. It's strange how his chest pieces are a little sunken. Perhaps a side effect of the molding process. I consider these two suits tied for best looking in Saber and it's great that they both come in the same set. Finally, Kamen Rider Jeanne and Lovekov. I really wanted to paint the orange on this figure but I could not get a decent and consistent match for the prepainted parts. I did manage to hand paint the emblem on her chest, avoiding the awful included sticker. A blue Gundam marker came in with a perfect match (look at the upper parts of her hands- what a clean match!). Jeanne is a very impressive figure with a wide range of shoulder motion I have not seen before. Lovekov is Lovekov. We love Lovekov and how the figure barely fit into the SODO box. So now we have the Reiwa women of Kamen Rider. And an even more expanded team! I'm gonna have to be on the lookout for a Zero Two figure now. And if you've been keeping track of my Saber SODO collection, I now have the full team (though notably it's the upgraded Blades). I have the base Blades suit coming the mail; he was kinda hard to track down. Also I went with the first appearance Saikou as that is my favorite of his forms and I thought the team needed a black colored rider. Wow I really just started with Saber and Buster then slowly picked up more until I just had to complete the team. Speaking of Buster, his color is starting to look very off. I may have to return to him with some improved paint someday. The SODO set with Jeanne came with Kamen Rider Amazing Siren which I may attempt to repaint back into Eternal Phoenix. All the original mold lines are technically there but orange is still a bit of a tough color to do. Also check this guy out No bike for Revice so a skateboard will do. Now unless Revice comes out with a totally stunning suit I don't think I'll be doing anymore SODO for a while. Other than that, Figure-Rise Standard Kamen Rider Ghost will be next!

Heya! I don't post much at all in this thread but I always enjoy seeing your photos and the work you do on them!
Although, I do want to comment about the one picture, your expanded women rider team of Reiwa. If you didn't know, Naki's gender within the 01 show itself is never confirmed one way or another, but the actor who plays them has stated they are meant to be non-binary! Just wanted to let you know that. Last edited by FreshToku; 03-12-2022 at 02:26 AM.. |

Kamen Rider Blades
I actually forgot to take more pictures of him by himself. Blades is a very simple SO-DO with minimal needed paint. Mostly just the silver of the sword, but I also added gold to the lion eyes and red to the belt. I'm surprised at how good the cape parts look- they connect to the back but sit inside the collar! The trio really looks good together. Kamen Rider Falchion So this is a completely repainted Amazing Siren. Amazing Siren has all the original mold lines for Falchion so it wasn't too bad. The only off parts are the Wonder Ride Book and the sticker for the base. I couldn't get a good orange color going so I ended up doing a double coat of light orange and then metallic orange. It actually worked pretty well! The hardest part was recreating the eye sticker using a combination of flat paints, transparent paints, and metallic paints. I also had to hand paint the white lines on the chest and that was agony! It looks decent from far away, but if you get close you can see how thick the white paint is compared to the other colors. The poseability of SODO is always surprisingly good. Okay so now that completes my Saber collection... well actually I just ordered the SODO accessory pack that comes with Durandal's Kaiji Spear. Once I get that, I'll take more pictures of the whole gang.
