I masked off the part of the chest which would stay blue and then sprayed some Gun Metal then followed that up with an Aurora sticker. I love you Aurora stickers! Alas, you are almost gone.
This HG turned out to be a lot of fun to work with and the end result is, I feel, one of my best looking pieces of work which surprises me considering how small this fellow is.
Here you can see the aftermarket vents/nozzles after painting.
In this shot you can see the aftermarket vent/nozzle I put in the shoulder, the job I did filling in the underside of the claws and the hollows on the red ‘wing’ which I also filled in. You also will not see the male/female connector on the underside of the armour which I successfully hid under a small piece of plastic.
Hey, Syd
Having seen the finished product on the site, I have to say this is a fantastic build! I’m posting here as this is where you mention the paints used. For the blue, what is the exact name and number of the mr hobby blue used? Is it an aqueous color, or part of mr hobby’s gundam color range?
If you’re able to respond, It would be much appreciated, thank you.
