Cuando desde Scale75 me pidieron pintar su próxima novedad de fantasía, dije que si de inmediato, sin haber visto ni siquiera la figura. Solo necesitaba saber que era una escultura de Joaquín Palacios! Y desde luego no me defraudó cuando la recibí en casa!
Aunque debo admitir que la primera sensación fue de auténtico pánico, cuando vi esa figura de metal tan grande y pesada. Quería gritar, correr… e incluso volver a empaquetarla y enviarla de vuelta… No tenía ni idea de por donde empezar y mi mente estaba totalmente bloqueada. Además, para colmo, tenía pocos días para realizar el trabajo y que estuviese a tiempo para su lanzamiento, con lo que el margen de error se reducía prácticamente a cero. Pero pasados esos instantes de pánico, empecé a disfrutar de la figura; con una fuerza y una escultura brutales.
El montaje es bastante sencillo, lo que facilita el anclaje de las piezas para evitar accidentes. Quizás, la mayor dificultad de esta pieza esté precisamente en su tamaño y peso; algo distinto a lo que podemos estar acostumbrados. Sin embargo es bastante sencilla en elementos para disfrutar de una pintura cómoda. Yo, por ejemplo, la monté al completo para pintarla.
Os dejo una foto para comparar el tamaño de la figura.
Toda la piel está pintada con el aerógrafo y después rematada a pincel. El resto de elementos están pintados a pincel. En la piel he jugado con multitud de tonos, lo que ha hecho realmente divertido el proceso de pintura.
Como siempre, si hay alguna pregunta, duda, etc… estáis invitados a dejar vuestros comentarios.

When Scale75 asked me to pait its next fantasy miniature, I said yes immediately, without even seeing the figure. I just needed to know that it was a sculpture of Joaquín Palacios! And of course I wasn’tt disappointed when it arrived to my home!
Although I must admit that the first feeling was real panic when I saw this figure so big. I wanted to scream, run … and even re-package it and send it back … I had no idea where to start and my mind was completely blocked. Furthermore, to make matters worse, I had a few days to do the job and was ready on time for launch, so the margin of error was reduced to zero. But after that moment of panic, I began to enjoy the figure, with a brutal force and a sculpture.
The assembly is very simple, which facilitates the anchoring of the pieces to avoid accidents. But the biggest difficulty of this piece is its size and weight, something different from what we may be used. However it’s very simple in its elements so that makes it easy to enjoy a comfortable painting. I assembled it completely to painted it.
Here you have a picture to compare the size of the figure.
