Not to much imagination here. Somewhat straight out of the book. Purple and gold make a good contrast. The accent colors of red, white and geen help break up the fig into easily visable parts. Of course kicking up the red with a little fluoresent doesn't hurt either.

The decorative gold areas were given a coat of clear gloss. These guys are not trying to hide anywhere.

The heavy is just that. Real heavy. How he's supposed to move I'll have no idea.
