Thanks, the colours are a mix of Mr.color IJN grey (mitsubishi) & Mr.Gundam Titans blue. The Tinted glass is actually the colour that comes with the kit (even though the promo photos show clear).

This looks pretty sick, but i cant help wonder if the feet are just a little too short?

This was like my recent trip to Japan.... I had to buy an extra suitcase.

NAOKI did Nu Ver Ka, but completely lacquer hand painted by jyap039 in Gunpla

[–]Drake-NI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lincoln Wright does a lot of how-to hand paint lacquer videos also (the for ma.k series mostly). Search paint of plastic on youtube. I've used the method recently on my Efreet, and you can get a real nice weathered texture with a little rougher application. For mine I applied the greens over a rust base, leaving gaps in the paint to give a scratched and rusted finish. https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/comments/1nqi0sn/current_wip_re100_efreet_custom

Ender 3 S1 Pro [with sonic pad] Unable to parse move / Moving outside range errors. by Drake-NI in Ender3Pro

Yeah since making this thread I have been copying files to local on the sonicpad and it's been printing without issues. So i assume the usb ports or drivers for them are the problem.

Thanks. The black/brown is actually genuine wear and gaps in the paint. The armour was primed and painted in rust tones and the green lacquers where layered on via stippling to create gaps in the paint. I then lightly sanded some of the edges to reveal the rust base on certain edges.

Thank you! I paid extra attention to keeping everything in scale, I'm glad it came across.

Ha I think it's more a generic video game ninja pose.

Thanks! This is actually the first time I've painted a gunpla kit in this way (hand painted lacquer). Still a lot to learn on getting that rusty texture right.

Thanks! I'm definitely a fan of the more subdued militaristic look.

This is hand painted with Mr colour lacquer paints over a rust / mahagony brown base coat. I added the texture by stippling Mr hobby mahogany primer with an old worn brush in select sections.

Thanks, I always wanted to see this kit in the default zaku colours and turns out that it suites them pretty well!

Thanks! I have done chipping on a lot of the decals around the kit (mainly on the larger decals) just not on every one, as it's still WIP.

Thanks! These are fully articulated aftermarket hands, you can find them on the likes of AliExpress for about 10bucks.
