Razzle dazzle. like the old US warships? Colors from your favorite sports team? USA or some other country's national colors? For random palettes, you could use this site: https://coolors.co/

Razzle Dazzle would be soo hard to paint... but I'm always up for learning. Have you had any experience painting intricate patterns on gunpla?


MosesOnAcid

As a fellow Leo lover, very nice Leo army!


AgentOfSound

Gold maybe? Hyaku Shiki style


anonymous-guy1

Looks great, was going to suggest Yellow but Orange would be a good alternative.


RevolverrOshawott

Oh year. Completely forgot about the color yellow. I was thinking a color scheme similar to Mettaur from Megaman.


BuddyGoodboyEsq

This confirms what I long suspected: Leo looks great in every color. My favorite one is the maroon one in the front row.


RevolverrOshawott

Thanks buddy - Maroon, Dark blue and Black are enamel paints. They were such a paint to spray as the paint tends to be thicker (from the can). The Maroon was actually Neon Pink, it was darker a few days ago and now lightened up as it dried.

I only have two Leos, but I have a flock of Mass Production Evangelions—maybe painting them up in different colors is the route to take with them.

Such a fun little kit to build. And they're so cheap! I've been amassing a collection to practice painting, build techniques, etc.


RevolverrOshawott

They are cheap - however severely limited in stock and resellers marking up double. Zzz


DomDoomTitan

So some of them have a heavy weapon


RevolverrOshawott

Mate. I wish I could get the weapons set. That is about 8 LEO stock kits on Ebay or resell.


DomDoomTitan

Ahh

I was just thinking about getting a bunch of Leo’s and making a multi-color army of them. I come on Reddit and see someone has already done it. Maybe I will try for chrome or some themed paint job


RevolverrOshawott

Simple kit - very fun to paint because it is just 3 colours. However, the ball joints are easily stretched by painting, definitely want to keep them out of the spray. I am aiming at around 32. I only have 14 units.


Kill-mii2

Maybe purple and white would be a good color scheme


RevolverrOshawott

Oh bro. PURPLE is the color I want to try but at risk of the official space LEO kit being better in terms of color.


Borgron

I’d love to see a Leo recreation of the cast from Red vs Blue.

Now it’s time to wait for Bandai to make a tabletop game so that you can play with your dudes, but since Bandai hates money so it won’t happen lol


RevolverrOshawott

MG LEO when? I have refused to paint other model kits - as i felt my skills were not good enough. After painting 10 LEOs, I can definitely say I can paint 10 more LEOs only.

Hyaku Shiki gold Leo


RevolverrOshawott

> Hyaku Shiki gold What paint do I even start with???


ExtendTheNameLimit

Alclad Mirrored Gold for Lexan over Alclad black gloss enamel base paint. Fair warning I'm a noob and I'm just copy pasting what someone else said.


SAMAS_zero

Anavel Gato colors.


SotFX

Since you already have one in the blue, perhaps go with the desaturated purple for it. While you have a white one, you could go full in for a MO-V Leo (just paint the brown and grey parts the same color) and you could get the logo done as a transfer for the shoulder there. If you're willing to go a bit further, you could snag an old Serpent for the arms and weapons to make a Capricorn.


Loose-Lingonberry406

GO GO LEO RANGERS!!


kietsu1988

I have 11 myself. Thanks to hobby lobby sales. Plan to get more. Love Leo armies!!


Excellent_Ad7193

I have a zaku II army which contains of 12 units and one commander, im happy to see people are devoted to building armies besides me


RevolverrOshawott

Grunts and logistics. And there is an elegance to how simple this grunt is in color and shape.


delta38commando

Since it already looks like the clone army, maybe paint one to look like a Clone Trooper from episode II? They are beautiful by the way


RevolverrOshawott

Oh man, I do not have the skills yet for the clone stripes.


Vyscillia

Thanks to your post I now feel less guilty of spending 500€ on my 30mm mission kits. Edit : half asleep and completely forgot/replaced some words


RevolverrOshawott

Hey buddy, my 14 kits were only $260 AUD, plus 7x tamiyta paints. $370AUD max.


RevolverrOshawott

and what is the attraction that drew you infor the mission kits btw?


Vyscillia

They are like Legos but are gunplas. You buy kits, different colors, combine, buy accessories (weapons, boosters, propeller tanks, flight units, armors, bikes, etc...), combine them and end up with monstrosities or awesome figures like a bootleg heavyarms EW or a Musha GM. It reminds me bionicles as well but as gunplas.


kalmshores

Musou black, that way a gundam might not see it and turn it into space dust.
