Zero-One, Vulcan and Valkyrie all painted up!

And, Horobi and Jin!

Nice paint job! The Zero One team was so cool. Great designs and avoided the sentai trope of each person a primary color.

I recommend painting the edges of Zero Ones armor black. (Like the top of his thigh armor)

Thanks! And yeah, I was thinking of that but in the end just forgot.

Great work, I think I like your Vulcan the best. The way he came out it is simply perfect, looks just like the real suit!

[Kurona]

Gotta agree; the red lines on Vulcan really pop

I love it, they all look great!

I've tried. This stuff isn't really strong enough to ensure that you can touch these figures with absolutely zero worries about the stickers peeling. The nail polish method doesn't eat away at the stickers either, as long as you know what you're doing.


The really big difference between nail polish and mod podge is that with nail polish, I can scrape my fingernails against the edges of the stickers(something that will happen if you play with these figures often) with absolutely zero concerns. They literally feel like painted details.

Nail polish is also cheaper.

This is true. You can scrape away the mod podge but I don't play wit my sodo's that much. I'll have to get some better nail polish. I tried is using super cheap nail polish from daiso once and it peeled the sticker from the backing. Do you have brand you recommend? Thanks in advance!

I've been using a Sally Hansen "Dries Instantly" Top Coat I picked up at Walgreens, and it's pretty great. Before that, I used my roommate's Sinful Colors Top Coat (less than $2 at Walmart!), which also worked great.
