now the debate rages: Gaofaigar, daikaioh, or tora origami next?

amazing!

Just got these yesterday in the mail, $20 and even though they are built and stickered it's fine since I'll probably paint them in the future. Great deal as opposed to getting it new for almost $50...

Crap forgot to fold out fins on hat...:

So what's the best way of painting all the sculpted detail on the Tokkyuger minipla? I'm thinking of getting a tiny brush but not sure how small I would need.

I've been using paint pens. Works well to get in close if you get a small tip

Marker pens are good beginning tools but harder to control without experience and as a result you get pooling or marker lines. I prefer small tipped and medium sized brushes with a pot of paint, thinned for larger areas. Metallics go on great straight out of pot.

Tank looks to be a pain in the ass to sticker, but I might get it...

It's far into the future (at least for me), but can't wait for this likely release as a minipla: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...36&mode=retail
