Even the metallic bits were fine to bit and I've also encountered those overally shiny finishes in the past.<br /><br />It is definitely different to be painting in this way but, from what I've seen this is the norm for Gundam kits. Having said that, you've planted the seed of a thought in my mind of "what would a Deathwing Gundam look like?" Another project for the future I fear.Sendrakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114892451151016231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898280664801491235.post-8174765046100044762011-09-23T06:38:08.539-07:002011-09-23T06:38:08.539-07:00Its very interesting that you end up repainting th...Its very interesting that you end up repainting the parts in the colors of their casting! That is so different to what we usually are doing. Did any of the colors have troublesome finishes? I've had a kit or two where the metallic colored plastic, like gold or silver, was very shiny and needed a bit of encouragement to actually take paint.<br /><br />This is a fun divergence from my usual painting type and I'm looking forward to your progress.Swelterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519522355028444705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898280664801491235.post-17111428582367218692011-09-23T04:09:54.502-07:002011-09-23T04:09:54.502-07:00Well the picture I posted in the previous entry is...Well the picture I posted in the previous entry is one of the images on the box of what the assembled figure should look like. Only I can't see with the parts supplied, how you'd achieve that look without painting.<br /><br />I'll take a photo of the box art when I put up the finished piece.Sendrakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114892451151016231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898280664801491235.post-60350067652262546142011-09-23T03:23:32.319-07:002011-09-23T03:23:32.319-07:00i'm actually finding it hard to picture what t...i'm actually finding it hard to picture what that sort of cartooney look the box art has will look like in 3D. so can't wait to see it assembled!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546836447177223646noreply@blogger.com
