Post subject:  WIP ( my first dio of the Dragon Masters Temple)
Ok I got the right props for the temple, and all the characters, but the problem I have is I just completed Lung Wang ( Lord of the Dragon Clans) personal guard and I don't like the base color scheme. If you need more reference go to the gallery and check out my Dragon Masters collection. The temple construction hopefully will begin this weekend, I'll post shots once I have something to show.

So I need help with a good base color for the personal guard. Also I used Krylon paint for palstic let it dry for a couple days then sealed it with acrylic. But I still get paint peel in the shoulder, elbow, knee and hip joints. How do avoid this?




In the Universe there is One known world, One enemy, One hope, Oneforce!

personally, I think the yellow is too bright. Here are a few suggestions to try.
1. Tone down the yellow brightness and repaint the figure (where he is yellow).

2. Repaint some body parts that are yellow to a different color. example the arms or the hood.

3. Paint some designs on the figure in the yellow areas. Something like an arashikage symbol. Paint it in a yellow area, just so you don't have as much yellow as you do now. example: the belt across his mid chest and right shoulder. It's black on Lung Wang. In other words, more detail, even where there is nothing to detail (add your own).

4. Maybe it's the acrylic your putting on. causing to much light reflection. I totally understand why your using it though. I hope your not forced to not use it.

I like the yellow color your going with. I'd try to keep him some shade of yellow. Therefore I'd try not to do #2.

I'm having the same problem with paint chipping you are, so I'll be interested to hear & try your suggestions.

These are just my best suggestions.
