    Sharing my last December 2015 painted build. Pls ignore the terrible shading job on armor DE Shield. :p
    • If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed there is something off…. Was it a post-shading job?
      If that was the case, a little tip for the next time, first do the darker tone for the edges and then fill in the large surfaces with the lighter tone. Did that same technique as you did on a Zaku once, my ldumb luck was that the colour lended itself for it. White is always tricky. I do pre-shading for white, never turned out iffy (knocks on wood)

    • That was post shading but not with AB ( i dont hve it now ) but using pencil graphite. Not blend it well like usual.

    • i did the same pencil graphite post shading with my RG Exia. i wanted to see how that works and looks better than no shading at all.

    • @Daverb _ You’re absolutely right. In my early days of building gunpla i do like the kit with the clean looks but now not much. Post shading is much better than nothing it should make your kit more realistic even it’s not painted.

    • As a teetee580 first said he do a dark tone like grey along the edges & give a fill light shade of white on large surfaces. For more tips & tutorial please checkout in youtube, you can always find a many great videos from the pro.

    • And yes the white primer is the best applied step before pre shade.
