Howdy, all. This is the final round of the Last Painter Standing painting contest. I would first like to say a couple of things:
In this round we were given the Crucifier Bird of Prey to paint up. I had no idea what this thing was supposed to be - or how it was supposed to look, for that matter - so I downloaded the VASA Forcebook and did some reading on the fluff. It is some kind of Samurai robotic battlesuit. There is a pilot, who controls it through VR technology. It functions in support of VASA combat operations, and this suit is used to smash strong points of resistance.
With this entirely in mind, I was completely clueless as to what to do with this thing. It was big and awkward-looking, with no clear indication as to what certain things were.
I finally elected to go with something simple. For me, it worked. I had a really difficult time trying to develop any complicated pattern that was not too gaudy, or that worked with the overall theme and fluff. I thought a plain green with some nice accents would be best.
I began by cleaning all the parts and getting rid of the flash lines. I also wanted to try to assemble as much as I could, but decided the arms and head were best left off for now. The legs and torso were pinned together, and then the figure was mounted on a small wood block (which I use for handling the mini without actually having to touch it). The figure was primed in light grey using Rustoleum primer.
I then painted the canopy - or at least I thought it was a canopy - black...
...along with the metallic ball joints and pistons.
