Some odds and ends before I head off.

So I am off to the tropical island paradise of chichimjima (父島) for a week. Where I won't have access to my gunpla (although I am tempted to bring along the eco gundam I picked up at Shiokaze.

I have done some more painting to the weapons and upon my return should be starting on the armour. A week seems like a long time when away from the plastic...


More micro masking. I sprayed this intitally with the silver aluminum and then masked off the part that I wanted to stay that colour.
after the Dark Gun Metal...

This piece was sprayed with the German Gray that I have used on the frame and then masked and sprayed with the Dark Gun Metal.
And assembled.
The picture doesn't show it well, but the three colours look pretty good together. I have top-coated it and will apply the decals when I get around to that part. That part I am not looking forward to. It will take a long time.


And the seam lines have been eliminated so I will need to prime this before painting it.

And I am off! 行くぜ。
