Felinoid Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I recently acquiered a resin kit of the Big G, the Hesei (post-1986) version, and I'm wondering what color he (she? it?) actually is. I have skimmed several films from the era (Godzila 1985, Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah, etc) and to my somewhat fading and a touch color-blind eye ;) , Godzilla seems to change color from film to film and sometimes from scene to scene, from a medium green to a very deep charcol grey, sometimes appearing to be an almost blue-grey color. I know that this can attributed to film stock, the quality of the print, and the color level on my TV, among other things. The Official Godzilla Compendium states flatly that he is dark grey. Japan's Favorite Mon-Star, by Steve Ryfle (a great book, well worth searching for) doesn't really give any color information at all (and all pictures are in black and white anyway). I have the same problem with the various websites, a lack of color consistency. Help! B) Felinoid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghibli Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 IMHO it should be a very dark grey. I have looked on some Hobby Japan and Model graphix magazines and the models are always that type of colour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philp Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 think your research has it right. He (definitely a he) is green or gray depending on version, movie, lighting etc. I am still trying to get the PL 16" kit and will probably do mine green as that is the color I remember most.

ghibli Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Man, this Fartzilla diorama is simply clever and well done :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I would say... a dark gray with some dark green/gray drybrushing to add some color, followed by a black-wash, then lighter green/gray drybrushing to bring out the highlights... That's what I picture in my mind without refering to any reference pics anyways! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre F-86 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Its your monster, do what you like best??? :) I'd say he's dark green, dry brushed lighter green on the high spots, with a grey wash for the detailing. Sabre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
