It's been ages since i've painted anything. I seriously cannot remember the last time. I have been going through and cleaning up the shelves and recently came across this old Bounty Hunter x Secret Base Skull Kun DX. It's the smoky grey version that came out a few years ago. Probably one of my favorite toys. I think there is only five colorways: GID green, clear blue, clear orange, clear and smoky grey. So i'm looking at this thing and a scene from Toy Punks vol. 1 comes to mind when they are interviewing Hiddy from Secret Base and in the background, there is a Skull Kun DX in clear purple...!! I believe it was a test shot or something. Never released. It's a homage to the Dokuro King. Not sure why this colorway was never produced. It's the most obvious choice.
So I thought why not dust off the airbrush and paint it up? After some masking, I went out to the garage and tried to clean up my airbrush. This thing had cob webs on it and it seemed like there was no way I could get this stuff to work. Not to mention that I didn't have any V-Color thinner to safe my life. But it came out ok. some dry brushing on the helmet and i'm happy with it. Long live Dokuro King Skull Kun DX...!!
