I was never a huge fan of the rubber masks that came with this Toa series. I love that they tried something new. But I think they missed the mark in the execution of the idea.
This mask in particular always bugged me because it’s clearly sculpted with armor pieces on top of the reptilian flesh. Yet the whole thing is just dark green.
I painted those armor bits on the face with two different tones of Citadel brand paint - Mithril Silver and Boltgun Metal. I think it adds so much character to the mask, and contrasts really nice with the green reptilian skin.
When I first made this guy I had all the armor in dark gray (pics at the end). But I thought it would be more interesting to swap out some of that for silver. In the pics the difference is kinda subtle. But in person it looks really cool I think.
