A paint/repaint of a 40mm plastic "bottlecap" Saint Seiya figure. I know it's Anime, but blame the French television who showed all these cartoons when I was growing up. 

Anyway, the figures are basically silver or gold, with a wash, but I wanted to see whether they could be painted.



A comparison with a larger (100mm) gashapon figure of the same character:


For once, I had great fun doing the eyes.

Now to wait for my Fenris Games scenic bases to put him on.

Awesome! I've only seen some 12 eps of Saint Seiya, but I LOVED it! It's so hilariously over-the-top and yet charmingly quaint (in that anime-of-a-bygone-era kind of way) at the same time. This was at a grass-roots anime convention in Stockholm and I don't think I've ever seen the audience in a movie theatre dig anything quite so much as Saint Seiya.

I'll be waiting to see the rest of them.

That's a him? 

Nice job on the reapint, looks great.

Yeah, it's a him. That's Anime for you...
It would have been slightly better if they'd used the armour from the first series and not the later version, but still.
Wait till you see Andromeda.

I thought he was a she too till your post made me read rather than skim.

Looks good though, its nice to have something different like this.

you are doing a good job finding these figures and making them into minis.

I would have prefered 30mm of course, but 40mm is close enough.
