Finished up customizing Shodo-XX 3. Let's start with Kiva. My main goal was to match the customization of my Shodo VS Kiva. Third picture shows XX Kiva before I painted it (there was a lot of red to paint). The Hell's Gate only had red on the wings and shin, no other paint apps.




I did a bit on Kiva Emperor. Just the silver on the wrists and knees and red on the belt eyes. Might do more later, I just don't want to paint the belt again right now because it took a bunch of layers.


Now onto the good stuff, OOO! Third image is these two before painting. I got some new paints including a chrome silver and light green that was perfect for this. Sadly, my green paint for the crotch doesn't match very well, but surprisingly looks better in pictures.




Couple of more of Gatakiriba. I might come back and paint the black on the arms later. Just wasn't feeling it. As I mentioned before, I got a new light green and it is perfect for these arms.



More pics of Tatoba. Third one is with my custom painted Shodo VS OOO. I didn't paint the fingers because things went well with the yellow paint and I didn't want to tempt faith (hate painting yellow).




G-G-G-Ghost! He was pretty well painted out of the box and there's some things I can't paint, but the new orange paint I picked up turned out to be a great match for his jacket and driver. Also did the silver on the knees and collar.





And here Ghost is with the old GanGan Action figure. It's night and day how good the Shodo is.


Also did knees and driver handle on Toucon Boost. I would paint the rest of the red, but my metallic red isn't right for it.


Meanwhile, while getting those new paints, I came across a copper paint matches Vail's almost perfectly, so I finally got to finish painting him. It looks so good now.
