Very few of you would probably remember Eric Zeal from the mission logs on the HF website, but according to one of them Zeal was leader of Rho 3. Since we share the same first name, I decided to adopt the character.I did 4-5 layers of acrylic paint, then added a satin varnish. The chestplate's printing is so cool I decided to leave it untouched.My only complaints are that the varnish disrupted the smooth surface of the armor, and that Zeal's head is constantly taking paint off the shoulder pads. Other than that, I'm really happy with this MOC; I've never done a paint app of this scale before.http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=494362 -Gallery (when public)What to you guys think?

Biohazard12 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Wow. I like it. I like it very much. The overall look of the MOC is great, and I love the use of those lower leg/ shoulder armor pieces. It looks kinda short and stocky, which is great. I love that you used the 2.0/3.0 chest piece on the Breakout series chest. I like the repainted pieces, but the lime green just sticks out a little too much. Might I suggest maybe sticking with black for the lime green forearm skeleton piece and maybe the thigh armor piece? Another one of my little gripes is that you didn't use the "villain core" piece on both shoulders, but that's just me and my symmetry. Overall, you did a great job. It kinda makes me want to go out and buy a Surge 4.0..... 9/10. Edited January 17, 2012 by Biohazard12 Quote ATTENTION!!!!!!!Hey guys, I'm making PBZPs now, so please PM me with details!

-Windrider- Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Shouldn't this be moved to General Art?Yes, but in the future, please use the "Report" link underneath the first post in the topic to bring it to the moderators' attention. We appreciate the help, but reporting is the way to go about these things, not posting about them.In any case, yes, since this is more or a re-paint than a traditional MOC, I am going to send this to General Art.

~garnira returns~ Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 great job! if anything use some clear paint sealer for those bits that tend to chip off.

Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sweet repainted pieces. Due to the picture taken, it looks like you gave the blue painted ones kind of a texture, which I like. Quote Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me? I'm trying to get a team going for ranked. PM for GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studs Not On Top Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sorry about misplacing the topic, I'll remember to stick these in General Art.Wow. I like it. I like it very much.

It kinda makes me want to go out and buy a Surge 4.0..... 9/10.Thanks! I was very glad that Surge came with the large armor-- overall, I think this series is bulkier than the 2/3.0's. Do you think gold would look better? That was his original color scheme. I favored asymmetry on this guy, plus I liked the name badge. Thank you! As he is, Surge wasn't a bad set; I got used to the excess of lime quickly.great job! if anything use some clear paint sealer for those bits that tend to chip off.Thank you! I'll try to get some.Sweet repainted pieces. Due to the picture taken, it looks like you gave the blue painted ones kind of a texture, which I like. Thanks! I've been waiting for armor in dark blue, red, etc. to come along. That was actually a mistake-- the varnish left streaks.As a bonus, here are some pictures of my modded Toxic Reapa. I gave him a painted Hero foot for back armor, and to me it looks pretty good. Once I get more Technic bits I plan on filling up that gappy torso.http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/Bionicle/MOBCs/Repaints/zeal_015.jpg -Fronthttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/Bionicle/MOBCs/Repaints/zeal_016.jpg -Backhttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/Bionicle/MOBCs/Repaints/zeal_017.jpg -Close-Uphttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/SpiritOfTime/Bionicle/MOBCs/Repaints/zeal_018.jpg -Top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFlash Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I like the dark blue parts on Surge but the green seems to stand out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
