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.
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.

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.

I’m a part-time landscape photographer that builds and paints gundam for fun, I have an fb which I’ll start using it to share some of my finished work too 🙂
Hi, Gaia black primer -> Mr. Hobby SM06 -> Gaia Clear Red x 3 -> very thin fluorescent pink -> clear red . Those are metal thrusters, I painted the inner rim, you need to have very low ratio thinner when painting metal parts. Weapon effect is white primer, Gaia duralumin silver -> clear orange -> clear red -> bit of red at the very end, hope this…
I’m definitely getting that RG Raiser, I hated all Crossbone variants be it MG or HG, everyday I regretted purchasing the MG Crossbone FC, everything just falls apart when you try to pose it, and it feels like an HG comparing to other MGs. If I could turn back time, I would go back and punch myself so hard out of conscious, purchase that MG Force…[Read more]
MG 1/100 Sinanju, fully painted down to every single finger. Started in the end of 2014 and completed early 2015… the gold trims are nightmares and took 2 days to complete cuz I kept on making mistakes and had to wash it and repaint many times.
Very nice. love how the red turns into purple/pinkish. If you don’t mind me asking, what paint did you use to get this kind of effect?
And are those metal thrusters, or did you paint them that way? And love the colors of the weapons!
Thanks in advance and again, great build!

Totally awesome splatter paint job!
Did you install an LED in the head as well? it really pops in this picture. Great work, this looks astounding!
thanks 🙂 wasted so much red and black paint during the process

wow great effort on a 1/144 kit , I prefer the none scale which is 1/100 i believe
