My Gundam models

Messy airbrush session but shiny results

First build and sanding

It was been a while. Better start again with something “easier”

1/100 Vidar custom colors. Just experimented a bit with metallic/candy and preshading

There are many flaws too: - Legs can’t do a full split because of the horrible joint on the crotch - Rear skirt still doesn’t move blocking some legs movement - Still those tissue pipes behind the legs? Oh, c’mon! Changes: Color scheme Shoulderpads scribed Legs scribed, V-fins merged Shields on the backpack arms

Masking. Winter isn’t the best season to paint something. Still lots of errors, so wash, putty, sand, paint aaaaaand repeat.

Scribing: lot of errors and lot of putty to remove those errors. 

Interludium.

Let’s start with some new panel line (and a lot of putty to fix my messes)

maybe the shoulder articulations are a bit too stiff Feet tilting really poor because is obstructed by the lateral ankle armors

Frame up! Really nice frame details. Just some minor color loss because I airbrushed the pieces directly on the sprue.

Armor chromed sprayed directly with Molotow mirror chrome with airbrush, just thinned 50/50 with Tamiya laquer thinner Black armor pieces sprayed directly with Mr Hobby Aqueos black gloss Frame primed with Vallejo Premium black gloss primer (cure time > 48 hour) then toned with Vallejo dark aluminum, grey gunmetal and gold

Let’s start this new Red Knight.

Did I say it is the coolest?
