Bandai Gundam 1/100 Shin Musha Gundam

this model kit is awsome and looks like lots of work  i am currently working on a kiowa helchopter

I still want to do one of these.  When I finally get the money (and time) to do it.  Im going to make it... vintage, persay.  Im going to do all of the Samurai type armor, give it a nice dark wood base color, then paint over it, so where I chip and damage the paint on it, it looks like wood, as opposed to metal.  As far as colors, Im probably going to mimic it after  Tokugawa's armor

thanks im gonna give it a cote of dull cote too

I built mine strait out of the box, but it would look 10 times better with a coat or two of paint. preferably flat colors.

should i even paint this model or not dont know what to do with it yet?

 

 

I admit that even though I own the kit, I do not know for certain. my suggestion is to get the closest match you can and go from there.
