Managed to put some time aside today to finish this guy off.
Took just under two months to finish this kit, due to heaps of real life issues popping up.
Finally being able to see this kit completed, it actually looks much better than I originally thought it would in terms of the proportions.
In terms of the blue, I think I prefer the shade I did on the WZC, since you can see the shading better on it.
My major issues dealing with this kit were:
- Painting the black strips on the ankle guard / shoulders / skirts. I was originally going to airbrush them on with acrylics, but chickened out and decided to do an enamel wash instead…didn’t turn out too well as you can see.
- Painting the yellow parts. I used straight yellow mixed with some orange yellow, and the final result was waaay too bright in contrast with the other colours. I had to redo the yellow parts and add a little black this time, something which I think I’ll do on all my kits from now on.
- Rampant dust getting on white parts when painting. This usually doesn’t happen to me, but I suspect it had something to do with my crappy priming when first doing these parts.
- Really tight joints made posing tough, and ended up getting alot of chips and scratches on the parts as a result.
