Content
⚽ Starting a new project packed with nostalgia! Some know him as Genzo Wakabayashi, others as Benji Price. What I knew for sure was that I wanted to paint him in the colors of the original 1983 series: his legendary red shorts, orange shirt, and his unmistakable New Team cap. This design by Blue Spray Studio comes with the outfit from the later remake, so in this first episode, we are going to modify and customize the figure to turn it into the Benji we grew up with. Plus, we'll learn the secret to applying electrostatic grass so it stands completely upright!
🖌️ In this tutorial, we'll look at how to customize the figure to achieve the 1983 version of Benji. We will learn how to modify reliefs. We will also use advanced sponge techniques to paint the logo with perfect transitions without needing an airbrush.
📖 *What will you learn in this tutorial?*
🧢 Customization & Modification (1983 Genzo Mod):* How to modify this Genzo design into the classic 1983 version.

⚽ ¡Arrancamos un nuevo proyecto cargado de nostalgia! Algunos lo conocen como Genzo Wakabayashi, otros como Benji Price. Lo que yo tenía claro es que quería pintarlo con los colores de la serie original de 1983: su mítico pantalón rojo, camiseta naranja y su inconfundible gorra del New Team. Este diseño de Blue Spray Studio viene con la ropa del remake posterior, así que en este primer episodio vamos a modificar y customizar la figura para convertirla en el Benji con el que crecimos. ¡Además, aprenderemos el secreto para aplicar césped electrostático y que quede totalmente de punta!
