Finished painting the inner frame of my 1/100 barbatos. First time I’ve done an inner frame paint job and it was a lot of fun, lots of details to bring out on this kit. Still not sure how I wanted to do the armour pieces though.
It’s a great build, isn’t it? Love the Nu Ver. Ka.! Was my first MG.
I went for the Titanium color scheme, sort of. So an almost black and white.
Please post some pics of the completed model and lots of fun wished completing the build!
these bandai star wars kits are amazing. i loved building the snow speeder so i picked up the t-65 x-wing that i started today, vader’s tie adv. x-1. i have a regular tie, and a t-70 x-wing on the way. i am going to do custome paint jobs and decals on them as well. they are so much fun!

Didn’t get it finished this year, so it’ll be the last of 2015 and at the same time the first kit of the new year 😉
Happy New Year to all!!! May all your wishes come true!!!!!
Thanks! I tend to do an enamel wash before I start painting the figure. This gives me an outline of where to paint. Then I use a really fine brush an try to paint in between the lines. LOL
Don’t be afraid of little mistakes. The pilot is so tiny and often in a not so visible place that one does’t see the mistakes. Also a magnifying glass is used…[Read more]
