A paint job completed
Posted by jdavidb on Wednesday, February 9, 2005 2:12 AM
This is a model my 9 year old nephew gave me for Christmas. I took a few weeks off from building the Chevelle Malibu to work on this. It's a 1/144 Deathscythe. The pic makes him look huge, but he's only 5 inches tall.

I haven't had anything to show the FSM folks yet. My family finally has a couple of great digital cameras. So, here's the latest model I completed.

The airbrushing was done with the Omni 5000. I used:

Acryl blue angel blue, white primer and clear flat
Testors gold, aluminum and gunmetal enamels
Gunze blue/gray, metallic red, flat gray, metallic blue/green, emerald green
Some of those weapon and shield parts are Tamiya spray can silver, but I ran out of it. I think I finished that stuff with Aluminum metalizer & Testors flat lacquer clear coat.
Pigma Micron 005 black pen and a green one for the eyes.



Every bit of that blue angel blue color had to be smoothed out with 6000 through 12000 micro-mesh.

I get a red x man. I'm interested to see what you've got though.

Here's a link right to the pic: http://bellsouthpwp.net/j/d/jdvdb/deathscythe_left02c2.jpg I hope that works. Maybe I should stick it in photobucket too.

Nice job on the Deathscythe, I'm working on a 1/144 Blitz and let me tell ya, it's no joke working on those little guys. Great job!

Blitz is tough as nails especially the high grade 1/144. Those Seed mechs are the best looking of the whole Gundam bunch. This Deathscythe is the no-grade one, but still great quality compared to stuff like Robotech models by Arii.

Ah, alas it's not the HG 1/144 (it wasn't out when I purchased this kit a while back). Still a little bugger to paint, however. I hate waiting for gloss paint to cure. Slow a molasses in January! Clown [:o)]
