Yuji Sakai GMK Godzilla with Custom Base

#1 Post by Jon LeGrand »

Here is a commission I did with a Sakai 20 cm 2001 appearance kit before the battle of Baragon. This kit did not come with the base so I made one myself.

Beautiful work. 8) 8) 8) 8)

Thanks, I used insulation foam sheets glued together and used a Dremel and heat gun to shape it.. Used Durhams water putty on that and then woodland scenic products.

As usual, another amazing piece.
I think your paint work is only outdone by your base work.
Both always leave me feeling inadequate :)

I really like the gray/black shading on the claws instead of the usual browns.
Really gives it a nice, overall cohesiveness with the rest of the paint colors/shades. And really makes that open mouth 'pop'

Your base looks better than the kit-supplied one - beautiful work!!

. . .and another set of older pics that I hadn't seen first time round.

It was the base in particular that caught my attention on this - just perfect for complementing the eyeline of big G.

Great work again Jon :jam:
