My new WIP. I only bought this kit to practice some new techniques and experiment - so I dont ruin the bigger, more expensive PG and MG kits.
Started out with the main weapon - its modified using different width aluminum stock, drilled for suppression wholes (although I hardly think those will be necessary in a plasma rifle - but they looked cool) and seams puttied
Painted, washed, decaled, shaded etc etc
the main barrell is "blued using Tamiya whethering masters

Now on to the main mech
First up - I tackled the shoulders. I decided to give the shoulders a cast look by spraying it on low pressure from further away, allowing the brush to spit paint at it:
Came out ok - I think
Next I tackled the thrusters - painted buffing aluminum, then the baffle painted clear red and the outside given clear orange "burned" tints
This is how the thrusters and the shoulder look painted:
I like the heat staining - doesnt look too bad
While I was added I made up the torso, giving some new panel lines and details
I also started on the arms and decided to *** som evisual details to the forearms as these parts will be visible through the armor:
Finally, I tackled a fun little project involving the skirt - I scribed some new panel lines and details and decided to do a digital camo paint job. Having never done one before, I think that it came out ok for a first try
What do you think?
