Its been almost a month since I last posted, everyone’s work looks so good! Classes have been hell but I finally got around to adding some pla plate details
Painting the pink parts part one. Using Shine Red + White + a bit of Purple, then White + Yellow for highlights. Good colour for a Char Zaku II, but unfortunately it turned out a bit too bright for my taste so it’s getting dunked in Windex and time for a repaint.
Ok i put other coat of lights and sand with a 1500-2000 grain foam base , i use water and i sand very gently wind direction so the paint details below show a little, you had to do this no force at all
ahh yes, wet sanding. I used to dislike wet sanding when I was trying to get a perfect gloss surface. I don’t think of it as a way to do a matt surface – so very interesting. Makes sense on a plane with a lot of abrasion over the surface in one direction.
I have a sinanju kit that I plan to gloss so I expect a lot of wet sanding on that one.
painting is now done just need to clear coat and Wash, Had to abandon the full kit bash do to the parts being far to different sizes and connection types.
My supplies are very limited, but did manage to set up a unique backpack for the unit.
sorry for the sloe photo i have to use my phone and dont like handling it while painting
WIP Update! What you see here is the waist, leg, and head! The body I am kinda stuck on at the moment, so I am finishing a lot of other things and then I can just focus on the body. Still have no clue on the color scheme atm…
I have completed snapfit of the main body, this kit really looks awesome! However I cannot manage to get the exact same pose like the one in the boxart, the are a few parts…
I’ve finished modding the Gelgoog’s proportions. I used some nylon washers from the hardware store to add 2.5 mms to the height at the waist, and some plastic tube to add ano…
Thanks, I’m not sure what does and does not constitute the intermediate category anymore; as there are other builders using really advanced techniques within this category.
This is my third WIP post. I’ve completed the Gelgoog and I’m starting to see a few flaws in the design that I’ll need to address. I have the kit bash parts that I need to complete the project.
