Definitely worth putting down a base coat for the brighter colors, at some point I’m probably gonna circle back to my Eco Warrior Deep Six & Ice Cream Solider and re-do their neon parts because I’ve definitely learned a lot about the brighter colors since I painted them. Quote:

Thanks, I really Appreciate it! Was a little concerned that the pink wouldn’t want to cover all that well but it came out looking great. Quote:
Was definitely important for me to at least get a regular pre-zombie version for now though. Probably will treat his as the officer. Thanks! Looks so awesome on the shelf. Haha, appreciate it! One of my favorite paint jobs I’ve done yet! Thanks, as always! Thank you! Not sure if I saw someone really tackle the brighter version of him yet so was excited to get him out there!

Sunglass warning week!
One of my favorite late era groups that we grabbed the entire run of were the Mega Marines and their enemies, the Mega Monsters. Loved everything about this group, including the Marine transport and the oversized Mega Monsters. So this was definitely a group that I wanted to include if possible in my modern collection. Up first was my favorite Cobra of the group, Mega-Viper. Something about his design just really grabbed my attention on the shelf and I loved him the second I got him home. Another all Marauder build with a cast head that I thought resembled the original’s helmet really well. So more eggshell base coats and then a healthy dose of neon-yellow paint & magenta to pull off the Mega-Viper signature color scheme. Mega-Viper And a teaser for what will also be coming this week (have to finish them though, so fingers crossed):

Outstanding rendition of the Mega-Viper! Colors all came out smooth and clean, making the parts all look the part that they were used to play! Looking forward to the Mega-Monsters you come up with!

He looks fantastic! I'm interested to see what you do for the monsters; I hope they've got better articulation than the originals!
Also, you might want to give this helmet a look if it's ever back in stock: Mega Helmet I plan to use this for my Astro-Vipers eventually, since I like the design better than the proper Astro-Viper helmet. |

I’m really excited for the Monsters, I built them over the weekend and loved how they looked before final touches and sealing the paint so I can’t wait to be able to put them together for good. Quote:

Haha, fully articulated Mega Monsters! I’ve waited 27 years for them to bend at the knees! Was wondering if someone casted his helmet, thanks for the link, have to go through everyone’s site again, been so long since I have done it. Quote:
Haha, now I know how to add giant broccoli to my shots if I ever come across a scenario where it makes sense! Definitely sounds like something we would have gotten from season two of Get Tough.
