Because I'm insane and hate seeing even a touch of red (maybe because I'm a Taurus?)on this thing I painted the insides of ALL of the legs parts. Just in case.
I didn't go for the complete black because all the red you see will end up being covered up once the armour is put on.
The legs are done minus some small detail work I have left to do. Decals are done. I messed up some of them because of all the curves on the armour but I managed to fix it reasonably well with a white Gundam marker.
Some of you may remember that I let my OYW Gundam hold the Sinanju's rifle during it's construction.
It's now time to give it back so I gave it the beam sabre to hold.
Because it's a gun, I sprayed the Beam Rifle with light gun metal. It looks really good. I think I made a good call there. Decals left to do for that and the beam axes.
And now gentlemen (and lady/ladies if you do indeed exist and read this blog)... I am proud to say that my one on one battle with this Sinanju is slowly coming to a close. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel finally and it is beautiful. I am tempted to cut some corners now because it's essentially finished but I've been so damned diligent so far and have just a little bit farther to go. Anyone but myself would think it's done but I still intend to do some touch ups on the legs, shield, head and weapons. Very minor things. I suspect that the gallery will be up in the next couple of weeks.
Poor Red Astray. Bought on the first day just to sit in the corner lol. Never mind my MG Impulse, and my GNX III, and my GM Command, and my mass produced Guncannon, and the... uh... GM Powered, HG Aegis, Savior and... oh I better stop. I'm making myself sick. Did I also mention that I'm thinking of getting Healing's Garozzo?
I need help.
well, if anything, we're glad to know that you're back in the spirit of building gunpla
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of black are you using for your sinanju, flat or gloss? I'm gearing up to paint an RX-0 in black/blue but can't reach a solid decision on which type of black paint to use. My skills with spray cans is minimal though, so I'll be painting the whole thing with a paintbrush. orz
ReplyDeleteYour OYW Gundam looks completely awesome.
zro - yes i am back into it. trying to stay consistent but ive been a bit under the weather recently so... havent been working on things much.
ReplyDeletelupes - gloss metallic black but i used super flat black for touch ups in the under armour. painting the whole thing with a paint brush isnt that easy so i salute you if you decide to do it. thanks for the compliment on my OYW gundam. that one was totally handpainted actually! Spray cans can be good for covering a lot of surface area in a short time. I often do both spraying and hand painting.
