Aside from the Shin Musha Gundam, I also got more work on the Hustler kit as well as the ∞ Justice’s joint casting. With three collars casted, three versions of the shirt was glued together using epoxy glue. This will make it very easy to swap out shirts on the kit. For the ∞ Justice, with the successful pressure pot casting, the joints were casted.
I finally got off my ass to decal and paint the gun details finishing the bloody kit. With the wash, decals, and wood complement to the weapons, I think everything is fairly balanced. I enjoy exploring different paint techniques and doing stuff that’s different, of course, this usually means folks don’t care much for it. But I’m building for me, and no anyone else. Plus, I got to get the burning need to experiment with paint out of my system. I have a bunch of other projects that are on my plate, so with this sucker down, I can get back to focusing on the commission IJ and another commission kit I have in the queue.
Little end of week update as I progress with more casting. I’m getting a better feel for it and I think I’m getting better at casting. I also got the Shin Musha’s gun finished last night. All I needed to do was paint the gold details. I took pictures of the magnet inserts for the Hustler figure as well.
Weekend update on the kit. I spent a little more time this weekend just pumping the sucker out. I still have a good amount of work on the sucker such as all the detail painting, panel line wash, decals, and finishing the weapons. Speaking of the weapons, I wanted to create a realistic wood grain effect on the weapons, the Naginata, Musket, and JÅ«monji Yari. I made a few videos for the technique as well.
