Yes, yes... Messy, but there's a method to my madness.
So, I've been meaning to really showcase my work, BUT, not too much time for it. But I took a few for a friend who's shown some interest in my habit lol.
Let's see, I've got my arctic Gundam Exia "From Gundam 00: SE 1". If you'd like to see the original colors go google it, too lazy to grab a hires one. Consists of a base gray violet, overlay of mica blue and silver leaf mixture for the top cote for the nice metalic blue. Flat aluminum airbrushing for the silver pieces, and a thin overlay of pearl white on the whiter pieces. As always, my custom technique of titan silver chrome base, water down clear green on top, then clear coting for the "green camera/sensor" effect was used.
Vioala-
Okay, next up I've got a few closes of the infamous MSN-06S Sinanju the "Red Comet"
This is my favorite kit.. So I painted it a mixture of titan gold chrome underlay "well, a flat black base, then the chrome" and on top of that watered down ruby red "to allow the chrome some spotlight too, and make for a great effect." Yes, all of the gold emblems are hand painted, and i didnt like how the gold out shined the red on this kit, even through the red trumps the gold in real-estate, the eye just caught the gold, so i made it rustic by washing thin watered down jet black. accents in silver leaf, etc etc, pearl white on the white tanks and thrusters, black was flat jet black, again, as not to diminish the ruby red.
Here you are-
And I did one addition to the Gray Wolf, the machine cannon shield. Not too big of a deal but you can see it above.
Anyhow, I've just got the Zeta 2.0 MG base frame for my Strike White Zeta conversion today, I'm washing the pieces to that now, they're soaking in soapwater.
That's AFTER my RX-78-2 Evolve 15 Version is done, which my next post will be over. Some nice pics there...
Also to come after the RX and Strike White, the Evolve 9 Nu. I got this kit before I knew anything about resin and custom kits "other than forge world resin for 40k, bad times... but it taught me a lot" so it's sat in a bag for ... a year now. the last of its kind, the Vicious Project Evolve Nu gundam... I am soaking those now, also.. and im going to clean them after I'm finished with the above two projects. I can handle the poor quality resin now where it's bad.
Okay, so its 4 A.M.... Not tired, Formation in the morning for the Columbus Day 72... Im going to continue watching Silent Hill, and work on some gunpla.. Stay tuned.
AHHH! Pyramid head!!!
