sp4rtan148 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I made a Lato Prime because i'll never get my hands on one ;_; Liek dis if you crie evrytiem. So, I was originally going to do a regular Lato but the stupid proportions went wrong so I said F*%$ it and do a Lato Prime instead. So this one took quite a bit of time because each stupid gold part needed about 4 coats of gold paint. It surprisingly took longer than actually making foam model, oh yeah and by the way its made out of foam yada yada yada, just like every other thing i've made so far. Here she is: I'm mixed on how the thing turned out. Edit: I forgot to tell you my camera is crap so i'll try getting a better picture soon.

Alad_VI Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Honest review time. On the painting, I give a 7/10. The gold is a bit dark and somewhat gaudy, but it can be difficult to find a good, well priced gold nowadays, and as you said your camera is sub-par so it might just be coming out oddly. Also the original Lato prime's barrel and receiver were cream rather than silvery-white, but I'm willing to let that pass because of... On the model I give a 9001/10. Excellently crafted with marvelous attention to detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarknightK Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 How bout you make a clay statue of a Roman-esque excalibur? With his skana dangling loud and proud in front of him? If you catch my drift? Put some layers of ceramic gloss on it, and watch the $v$ roll in (DE will probably replace their current excalibro statue with yours, most likely). $v$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVerdict Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 This actually looks very accurate to the Lato Prime, very nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IANOBW Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Black on a gun that's supposed to be a cream-ish colour? Its metallic, a black wash would look nice in some places, but thats just my opinion. Looks great already, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp4rtan148 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 It would look better if I wasnt stupid and sanded the stupid thing first. It wasnt my intention at first but when it was already painted and finished it hit me like a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
