I like Wrekage, he's one of my favorite from the movie line. After fixing his automorph problem, hes great!

After jigging with my camera settings, this are the clearest photos I was able to come up with. Here's my Wreckage. much better improvement over that white snow camo thing.
If I do another one of these in the future, I'll use flat black enamel as the base. Other figures i've done turned out a little better from it. This was the result of using acrylic Model flex NP light green, a thin black wash, then drybrushing Testor's MM dark green. Those legs are testor enamel copper blended on surface with steel enamel.

Great work! Did you get around to painting his blades?

Nice pain there. The light green works, like wear on the edges. Great painting there, nice pics too.

Partically. Just been coated in black enamal. Still drying right now.

Very nice work. As for the blades, Are they ABS or styrene, or are they Urethane? If they're urethane, the black enamel will not dry.

The Wreckage mold always looks better in the darker shades.

The green looks really good.

quiet with your enamel hate crimes! it will dry fine!

please post when dry so this guy can correct his misconceptions about enamels already!

If the plastic is urethane, vinyl, rubber, PVC, enamels won't cure. They remain sticky and gummy.
