The Theme of Building
Utilize exterior molding colors !
Parting line finishing
Making holes
I drilled small holes in several places, assuming there would be bolt holes for attaching parts.
*The tool used was this.
Adding Parts
Add metal mono eye
The monoeye is changed to a metal part to make it more realistic.
Since the metal monoeye are thick, I removed the mono eye shield and glued the metal monoeye to the axis. I think it turned out cool with a simple work.
A larger lens was glued to a metal frame. The edge of the lens can be exposed without being hidden by the metal frame, so I thought it would be cool to make the lens stand out.
Added attitude control thrusters
A metal nozzle was added to simulate an attitude control thruster.
*Metal nozzle I used
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 : Kit included
The water transfer decals included in the kit are excellent, so I used them as is.
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.
