   @ Gaijin Gunpla- Did you paint the gold parts? They look very nice! If you did paint them, how did you go about it?

   Hi Srihari Tc,

   I painted those by spraying them with some Mr. Hobby Gold.

   How did you get that blackish red color? It looks really nice.

     Hi Crimm,

     The Crimson colour was accomplished by painting semi-gloss black over the original red frame and then misting Mica Red overtop of that.

   Hey Sid! I was wondering, is it possible to put on the saya (yes,that is a word you taught me 🙂 ) curving downwards as you have, without the holder (the thing connecting the saya to the leg) being upside-down? Or will that require modding?

   Hey Syd. I have had an idea rolling around in my head for a while now and seeing how you did the Astray red frame I think it would work. I just needed some advice on it. I wonder why no one thought of it before. I call it the Nemesis Wing. How do I make fabricate something like long fingers. If you could send me an email… I’ll clarify.

     I remember seeing a tutorial somewhere for fingers, but I can’t remember if it was on the internet or in one of the hobby magazines. Looks like I have to do some searching.

    Hii syd I want to buy a astray red frame but it confused me to pick the mg ver or the rg ver because both look sick and amazing but it’s confusing about to pick mg or Rg

      You’ll get more with the MG but you’ll be paying twice as much. They both are really good kits.
