Love this model but the original grey for the trailer and limbs was not to my liking and also.. red windshield wipers. So a lack of self control later and some weathering here it is.also before and after Update 28/2/2017 Added in pc-15
Well, thanks a lot for making me suddenly feel unsatisfied with what I believed was a pretty much perfect figure that I bought.
You should paint the top of his thighs white to create the illusion of a full waist. Plus the designs are the same as the vintage waist.
thanks haha, thanks? Hmm I had that thought, but had a slight feeling it will turn out a little like Hardhead's boxer short look.
Haha , just started out not Long ago so I'm no expert but sure. Techniques wise I used black washing and rubbing to stain and hopefully get panel lining done, dry brushed a few areas. I don't have an airbrush kit so I used my trusty paintbrushes for the rest. As for paints for this not sure for others but I swear by clag? Non toxic arcylic paint for my washes and panel lines it comes in a 250ml bottle and it's pretty cheap. And mostly tamiya's paints for this specifically light gun metal and mica silver. Hope that answers everything
You aced the black-wash, that's for sure. For just starting out not too long ago, you're well on your way to becoming one of the more recognized customisers on the boards - your work is fantastic!
I'm waiting for Reprolabels to give metallic/chrome bits to the right areas, so I agree that the TT version is a bit lacking, compared to the original TT G1 version. I didn't know the PE parts were out yet?
oh I pre-ordered but yeah it's out already. Regarding to it being lacking , hmm sure it is compared to the toy. But if compared to the anime I think it's good . And I've not purchased reprolabels before , does it last well over the years ? Thank you
