I started working on the kit a few weeks ago. Parts were glued and sanded. I skipped taking pictures of the test fit phase and a few other steps, I just didn’t have time. This is also the reason for this late of an update from when I first started working on the kit. This is the second kit of the series I’ve been commissioned to build. I’ve learned a good deal from the Evil kit and that should translate to a much higher quality build for this kit.<\/p>\n

There are some areas on the kit that have mind boggling design features. The underside of the shoulder armor has the connecting pegs and such exposed. Using some pla plate, I covered the area under the shoulders and the area above the ankles (not pictured). With everything sanded and ready for paint, I sprayed on the first primer layer. I found a few parts that need to be readdressed for rough sanding spots and imperfections that need to be filled with putty.<\/p>\n

A good number of the parts were ready for paint right after priming, so the red was painted. I’m not too happy with the red I used, but I was running low on reds. I’ll drop by my local hobby shop and grab some more Mr Color reds. I’m planning on doing some shading for the kit, so I will be getting a few different shades of red. The yellow pieces were painted with gloss black. I want to use a Kandy metallic yellow, so I will be spraying on some alclad, followed by clear yellow.<\/p>\n

Finally, the gray areas such as the lower abdomen and the joints of the kit were painted with a gun metal color. I recently picked up some gaia notes metallic paints, and I’ve been wanting to use the stuff as a comparison to Mr Color metallics, Finisher’s Metallics, and Alclad. I am very pleased with how the gaia color came out. <\/p>\n

If I can stick to my current schedule, I should be done with this kit fairly quickly. There are only a few areas that need masking attention. And so long as I’m able to restock on some paints, things should run smoothly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
