The Theme of Building
Adds even more information to the informative RG !

Before
From this state, I modified it.

Making holes
I drilled small holes in several places, assuming there would be bolt holes for attaching parts. The holes were then painted silver to simulate bolts

*The tool used was this.

Adding Parts

Add metal mono eye
The monoeye  is changed to a metal part to make it more realistic.

Added attitude control thrusters
A metal nozzle was added to simulate an attitude control thruster.

*Metal nozzle I used

• HIQPQRTS TWIN PIPE2 S1.5mm

Brush Painting : ‘Partial’ and ‘Frame’

I painted the frame, pipe and shield silver with a brush.

*Here are the paints I used.

This paint has a realistic gloss after polishing, and even when applied with a brush, it does not show unevenness and gives a beautiful finish.

Decal : Sold Separately

Coating : Frosting

Because of the good molding color of the armor, a topcoat with a good finish was used.

*Here are the paints I used.

After completion

In a short time, I was satisfied with the realistic impression.

Popular MS have been rearranged and have multiple variations. Older versions are still sold together, and you can choose the version you prefer, including proportions. You can check all the versions for the MS of each series in the link below.
