ok ppls, ive done some work on him, namley fixing up any errors is the seams and sanding out, prming and painting all has gone pretty smoothly, ecept for a couple of hicccups ( i think the model was sdtill wet in places and the primer didnt stick to there and a couple of the seams aint perfect...oh well, no biggies...). with painting him tho, i havent got the colour right yet. the instructions call for gunze h44, which is too dark, too brown, while tamiya is to yellow and is kinda bright. i added some white to tamiya and sprayed him, at first it looked good, but after second inspection i still think its too yellow. ive taken some pics, but the colour doesnt look the same
the colourin the above 3 is toned down somewhat, its much more peachier close up
here are some pics comparing astro to box art. again, the colours came out washed out...
and here is a pic of astro himself, not sure what its from but it looks right...
im gonna mix some more white into the tamya flesh and test spray on some card first so i dont pout too many layers on him...
coments + criticisms welcome!
