Poor Bragigas, he's been my test dummy.
So, for the last part of the set (the front legs), I decided to fully assemble (vs painting while still in pieces like on kit 2) and then paint with my wife's acrylic paints. I finished it off with a gloss clearcoat (spray). The gold doesn't match DX bragigas, but overall I think it looks better than the back legs, and definitely the head (kit 1). I got 2 more full kits, so I think I'll pop open another and do it up like the last one. Addicting! |

I promised myself when I started watching sentai I wouldn't buy the mecha's but after looking at all of your mini pla....dammit I want to collect them all XP I love their size and the fact you get to paint/detail them(was an arts and crafts person as a kid)
My main goal is to collect all of the Kyouryuuger mini's but since most places seem to be sold out of them it'll probably be a while until I try to find them on mandrake because with all of my preorders for the first few months of next year I don't know if I'll have the spare cash. I did manage to grab me a Bragias set on Premium Bandai(through shopping mall Japan) when I preordered the beautiful golden Raiden Kamitsuki Gattai Raiden Kyoryuzin. I just can't wait to get him, though before that I need to get some paint and practice before getting him. I'm pretty confident in my painting skills but I've never tried to paint plastic before.

What would a complete Kyoryuzin set me back?

Anywhere from 600 to 2400 yen, Minipla is rather inexpensive in nature, most of the time the problem is finding them.
I don't see it in mandarake, so ebay may be your best choice. |

The instant I viewed this post(the one by kamen rider ooo, with the shiny silver paint) I immediately damned my inability to paint. curse you, you wonderful, wonderful man.

So what's the preferred setup for painting? Airbrush? Paint brush? Does anyone have any stands or anything to hold pieces on while painting?

Gah, I really need to order Bragigas once all of this slow xmas time postage nonsense is over with. All of your guys' look amazing.
I just use a paintbrush. I'm also kinda lazy (in that I want to get it done as quick as possible, with as little extra faffing as possible too) so I'll just hold it myself, and then when it dries paint the area where my fingers where. Not the best method but it works for me =) |

Finished up my Brickgigas earlier today, thus completing my Kyoryuger minipla collection. Decided to go on show/DX colours rather than an all-silver look, kinda wish I hadn't used the foil stickers because they suck but c'est la vie.
Overall the Kyoryuger line goes out with a complete whimper. This isn't just a barely articulated brick, but it was a really boring build made up of most giant parts with about 4 steps per box. Out of the four minipla lines I have this is by far and large my least favourite. Hopefully Tokkyuger will reignite my love for the line again.
