Shin Musha Gundam Completed!

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.

Shin Musha Prog and Wood Grain Tutorial

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.
