RG 1/144 SAZABI
RG SAZABI has many divided panels and a lot of frame exposure. This model is a great completeness without any modifications. So I set the following goals:
The Theme of Building
Make realistic SAZABI without full painting !
Kit used
Material used
Paint Silver
Paint Gold
Metal Mono-eye part
Tools used
Nippers (used to cut parts from the runner)
File (I used it to remove gate marks.)
Brush (I used it to paint the frame and yellow parts.)
Add washes to Molding color and top coat
At first, I thin the black metallic paint. And I painted the thin paint and wipe off the paint before it dries. Inking to grooves had be done at the same time!
*Top coat I used
Partial painting
I painted the frame silver with a brush.
I painted the yellow part gold.
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.
Add metal mono eye
The monoeye is changed to a metal part to make it more realistic. I cut off the mounting protrusion of the mono-eye from the kit and glue a metal mono-eye on the spot. Easy work !
Here are the metal mono eye and lens that I used.
After completion
In a short time, I was satisfied with the realistic impression.
