A good way to start is using pla-plates! They are thin plastic plates that you can cut up and glue on kits.
Also scoring panel is another great to add details, but the placement on it is important. By adding pla-plates and panel lines u can bring out areas on the armors to look like a MG kit, bit remember not to add or else it can look mess.
Can you maybe give me some example on adding detail so that it won’t be too messy???
Hee…please I really have no experience in that area…
I’ve tried searching internet for example but it’s quite hard to find a custom devil gundam…
I’ve done a teeny tiny little bit of panel lining at left knee…
Where I try to imitate a little of rg destiny knees…
And I’m already running out of idea hehe…
Anymore advise please…
Now that’s the problem…
It’s been 2 months since i posted the kit…
And still I feel a little worried that I might ruin the kit since I never do weathering or battle damage before…
Guess I lack of creativity after all hehe…
Hey @Rekone, the method I use to prevent discoloration is a little bit time consuming but effective. I first cut the part off leaving a huge nub. Then I take a small file and sand the nub all the way down. Then I take super fine sand paper and polish the part to a smooth finish.
I use 600 grit after I file down the nub and then to polish everything up I use some 44 micron sanding film. Its a super slow and boring way to do it but it works pretty well.
