Finished my Sandrock Mg. First time I can say I’m really finished a kit. Also first time doing some spray painting. Added some colour to the shoulders and other areas that…
1/144 Takemikazuchi Type-00A – fully painted, this kit requires a fair amount of masking and detailed brush painting, it’s actually harder than making an MG in my opinion.
It was a tiny spot of gaia fluorescent paint, so a composite picture that stacked a normal photo, and another photo with UV light shined on it to reflect the blue light. 1/144 Takemikazuchi doesn’t have too much room for even a 1.5mm LED.
ya 1/144 is quite difficult with many parts requiring reverse wash and small spots to hand painting, the shoulder, stomach, fists, feet and waist section came entirely white so had to do a lot of reverse wash like sinanju gold trims.
Got to say this Dark of the Moon Bumblebee was the most complicated Takara Tomy kit I’ve ever built. All parts were factory colored, the inner frame was factory built & the markings were factory applied. I repainted most everything except the body & clear parts, panel lined, weathered & sealed the kit with different sheens of clear coats.
This Metal Armor Dragonar Type 2 Custom Dragonar was engineered the same way as Type 1, the white one I built. No putty, sanding, priming & shading. I airbrushed, masked, panel lined, weathered & sealed the kit.
Another Metal Armor Dragonar by Bandai is similar to non grade or first grade. This kit was snap fitting & color molded with stickers & polycap joints. Limited articulation. Individual fist for each weapon. I built first, applied putty, sanded, primed, airbrushed, masked, shaded, panel lined, weathered & sealed the kit.
that head unit led customization is a thing of beauty…
on a side note, that cracked housing effect on the left leg’s gn condenser looks pretty awesome as a battle damage feature; how exactly did you pull that off and make the cracks look so clean?
I could only post one picture from my phone 🙁
This thing is huge! great job on painting it.
