#WIP 1. well i have finally went to the shop and selected my GM! Since its the first time i’m building and entering it for competition, i thot why not build a classic. 🙂 Here are some pictures of the box art and the insides.
WIP #1
finally started building the kit, the torso and head looks beautiful , such a wonderful design. if i need to fix anything please do not hesitate to say so!
WIP #2.5?
As per request, I’m posting a more detailed picture of the upper body. I did end up building the other hand, but that’s it. I’m actually kinda glad that I was told to do this, as I picked up a lot of paint inconsistencies.
I do long strokes with the marker and then when done blow on the newly laid paint. It helps with the swirls and the streaks which the sides of the pen make. Furthermore, if I add another layer, I do the whole panel. Its kinda wasteful, but it gives a much better effect than having splotches all over the model.
Did the lower body and the right leg. Going to finish putting it together tomorrow. Probably going to finish putting on the decals and panel lining on Friday.
Last is the silver and the results are better than the gold ..silver its more shiny
all paint is done but is going to need some panel lining.
ill wait a few days for the paint to cure
Supplies:
Testors Enamel Thinner #1148
Testors Gloss Enamel Gold #1144
Testors Enamel Silver Argent #1146
I wont be using the tamiya pain for this build
uff i forgot i also use Tamiya Gun Metal X10 for the black parts of the sword
this paint is really thick i had to put more thinner than with the gold or silver !
nice a GM got this one a while back at 1/100 1.0 had to paint the shield white
try to get some decals , panel lining
it will look very good!
thanks. i have been looking for a set of decals for this but it’ll will depend.
