the paint on this SS version isn't even close to that. One flat coat of gray

colorblind?

Ok, I messed up big time. For some reason I put in $700 when checking prices, wishful thinking.

Direct (using $60 postage which will be more due to weight) £635 $1030.
Local £545 $880.
Local it is then

Wow, Europe gets ****ed with shipping and taxes! SS should have a hub in Europe to take care of you guys.

[JediSword]

The detailing and paint work on this maquette Gareth Edwards is pictured with is amazing.

it looks dull and flat to me. And not even close to the color he was in the film. Don't have to be colorblind to see that. If it were a more charcoal gray as it should be, it would be easier to add depth to the paint. Keeping everything light and dull is simply to make sure the overseas painters can replicate it and it leaves little to no contrast between Godzilla and the rocks/base.

It looks pretty cool from that angle imo, and I don't particularly like the creature design...

Also, paint doesn't look flat at all to me.

 

[Collectorcol]

That's actually a great shot

 

[Irvy]

Paint looks fine. Production one will be crud.

 

[azurepred]

well I guess I AM color blind then ! Oh well, unless the price magically drops, I won't get this version

 

[Boba Ben]

The paint doesn't look terribly complex, which is fine for Godzilla. The $800 price tag is the problem for me.

It's obviously best viewed from the top lol. The official product photos would have been re-touched anyway.
The display piece at SDCC doesn't reflect $800-quality detailing and paintwork IMO

You're gonna hate the production piece then.

Haha probably. Will be too late then. Eh, I'm just sour because I REALLY wanted to get this maquette. I was prepared to pay up to $850 'pending on the reveal.

 

[Collectorcol]

So you're good to go at $800?

No effort in the paint job.

As much as the overall color of this Godzilla is simple, there is room for subtle effects on his skin.

If you look here, you can see there's wear and tear on on his scales, it would have been cool to see the paint job with such weathering. There's a tendency in all Godzilla products to not account for dirt or anything on him when he's always got something in the movies.

I was prepared to go up $850 depending on the reveal. Having seen it I think I'll sadly sit this one out.

What, your not happy with the random green blotches all over the proto?
