Custom Jumbo Getter Dragon SOC Colorway

Custom Jumbo Getter Dragon

Inspired by the legendary Matt Walker of Dead Presidents Designs and his awesome custom Jumbos, I decided to give it a try. More experiment than anything else. A number of lessons learned as well. It started when I began buying old Shogun Warriors on eBay and fixing them up a bit with aftermarket vinyl stickers. My Raideen and Mazinger came out reasonably well. But this Getter not only had a tear on the cape, it had a dark smudge on the right side. I tried in vain to clean the smudge (and the tear), but ended up just fucking it up. So I knew I had to re-paint it. So my lessons learned are 1. if you're going to customize a Jumbo, get one that isn't so fucked up. 2. either apply stickers after clear coat or paint the details. 3. go easy on the clear coat to avoid drips.

Anyways, it's looks pretty cool as long as you don't get too close to it. lol... I chose the Soul of Chogokin colorway as it appealed to me the most with the chrome arms, metallic blue chest and metallic orange bottom. I used chrome adhesive stickers for the arms and legs and of course, Monster Kolor for the paint. Next up: Shogun Warriors Gaiking..!
