That was great. Goes to show that the sky is the limit to get that weird color of Godzilla. You just go to keep working on one until you get that look you want. Once I remember I had to start all over! That eye method is interesting, better for larger kits I would think.

The eye trick is cool.....on the big 30cm scale kits...not so sure on the smaller ones. TB is one of my favorite dudes...he knows what he is doing.
