Looks really nice and clean, how did you get around painting the pre molded inner frame parts? I’m thinking about using some gold leaf on my RG Strike Freedom.

thanks! just the usual primer and metallic paint. i airbrushed Testors Metalizers and some Tamiya acrylic metallics to break up the parts colors. just make sure to apply a thin coat of primer since you don’t want to make the frame too thick and stiff. also i painted the individual frame parts before putting them together. for the moving parts, i move them in between coats for a more complete coverage and to help preserve the moving action. hope that helps 🙂

damm another person who has the same problem as me lol i cant get anything else like mr color besides tamiya. Looking at urs reminds me about my troubles too. Anyways nice job with the exia can i ask wht kinda blue that is i seem to be unable to get that mixture of blue for my own kits with tamiya so its annoying lol 🙂

thank you! ahh someone who knows my pain… a price to pay for me to live in the islands where everything goes by air or sea and extremely tight regulations. anyway regarding the colors, i mixed up tamiya royal blue and sky blue as the bases to get the 2 tones of blue i used on this. and then, touches of tamiya white and tamiya blue to make them lighter or darker. i can’t remember the exact proportions since i added and mixed until i was satisfied. i think i started out with like 4 drops of sky blue and a dip of blue and a dip of white for the parts with the lighter shade of blue. then i tweaked from there, adding sky blue or white or blue. might have added a touch of royal blue, too lol
