Hi all. new here and to this layout of “forum”. have recently started getting into some Gundam etc figures but still to start my first build.
Regular customer of HLJ.
Check out my previous builds, WIP etc here http://webbynz.blogspot.co.nz/View
I’ll be building the Deathscythe Hell EW. This is going to be an OOB paint job. My focus will be on removing seam lines, preshading, detail painting, and decals… I’ve ordered waterslides for the kit.
Are you going for an exact look? Or just inspiration from the films samurai? Instead of spraying smoke black, try using a black wash, it helps give metallics a natural aging look.
Ah i didn’t know what you were going for. I’ve been researching steampunk painting for my iron kong, so i’ve been playing around with stuff like this and for golds/yellow metallics browns make the dull look much more realistic. But again, i don’t know what you’re really doing. XD
Going for a steampunk/ Gundam,/ Samurai mix……Sounds strange when you say it like that 😉 But yea, sort of my re-imagination of a hybrid between the three 😉
I have one of these on its way. Ill be keen to see how you get on with this one.
