Finished my very first painted build. RG Char’s Z’Gok. Wanted to see how hard matching original colors was. Some paint left so i’m going use it on the MG Char’s Zaku II ver 2.0 next. Thanks to the guys here on this site who encouraged me to try painting!
That looks really really great!!!!!! Did you mix colors or did you find matching ones? Found myself that sometimes when mixing the colors via the manual, the can differ from what you see in the pictures, while other times they match perfectly. In the event you did use matching colors, what brand where they as they look very good! Looking forward in seeing your next build!
Awesome work, very clean. Do you think you’ll do a RG-style pain scheme on the MG Char’s Zaku II? The masking you do for those kinds of paint jobs is a great learning experience.
Teetee, i used liquitex basics acrylic paint. I got a set of 48 tubes. The pink and dark red for the legs, arms and skirt didnt need mixing but the salmon pink and the other shade of pink for the torso made me try a lot of combinations til i was able to match them. Pictures dont make it justice since i also tried some shading that it is hard to see on the ones i posted.
Nick, working on it as i write this. I had made it look dirty when i first put together so now that im painting with original colors, im trying to shade it as well and add some other weathering hoping it’ll end up nice.
