Some pics.

Turned out pretty good. I've still gotta give it a layer of future, and flat the red, to match the Sinanju itself. red on top of red gave it a bit of a different tone from the red-on-preshaded b&w of the sinanju, but I call it close enough for an action base.

 

Shield crest cleaned up quite well with just some gundam marker. I had to scrub a lot of the Future off to fix some oopses, but a fresh coat on top and I think it will look *fine*

are you not going to detail the action base?  Im working on mine right now, Im REALLY enjoying it.

 probably not past blacklining to bring out the texture. I don't want it to distract from the model! ;)

do alittle mix.  Get a piece of scrap and put the brass, the gold, mix it to diff consistancies, till you find what you want

I've painted some highlights onto the gun and bazooka to make them look less plastic, and added some more silver details.



Now here's some preview images. Excuse the dust, I didn't brush it off before taking these shots. Here I'm mostly showing off the addon parts. Mechaskunk thrusters, tube beads, model-up verniers, etc. The head vulcans use the socket pins from the model-up foot vernier pins, which worked out really well.


little verniers on the bicep were drilled out and replaced with 1mm tube beads.



Showing off the leg thrusters and bits.


Backpack


Hip thrusters


Some of the inner detail on the wings, and more tube beads, 1mm and 2mm


Rear shot


Ankle. You can kind of see how shiny the black is in contrast here.




I still need to go over the gold once or twice more, it still looks uneven. I'm getting there!

Is finished! Pics in a new thread tomorrow after a daylight photo session.
