HGBF 1/144 Iron Man Transient Custom Paint
I decided to try giving the Transient an Iron Man colour scheme, because, well, just look at that design! My favourite armours are the Bleeding Edge and Model Prime, so I tried to give this one some dominant gold parts while still being ‘red with gold’ rather than the other way around. And I did it all with metallic gundam paint markers. Of course, that meant leaving any joints unpainted. But for the rest, this is the most I have ever painted a kit.
Used a Dremel drill’s cutting disc to trim back the collar. But it still can’t look far up.It’s because the socket for the neck is too far forward on the head. Strange design choice, Bandai, especially for a model with a flight gimmick.
Comparison with the RG Exia. The Transient looks like it should be a god deal taller because of the legs, but it isn’t.
