Small Rest - Big Plan

From IceKnight web gallery

Time to lay finger on the new kits which I bought from the Gundam fair at Compass Point , Seng Kang , couples of months ago. I thought I just want to fix up the 2 "eco-plastic" SDs and leave them be . I fixed up the zaku and spray a layer of semi-gloss top coat. I feel it won't do. It is still very "plastiky" which I don't really like. But I don't want to paint it up with color like the rest of normal kits . It won't feel unique anymore . So how?

Easy, I am going to paint it black !

Apply the surfacer , then the metallic black .

Alas, I am done with this kit . It is still not fully touch up . And my idea of using gold ink as panel lines is not realized. Sigh.

I used combination of 0.3mm mechanical pencil with 2B lead and a 005 thick ink marker to draw the panel lines .

Panel lining is officially my worst nightmare in Gunpla-ing ! I still can't get it right ! Argh !!
I have done the lining for the lower body . Wings and arms to go . Damn those people make it look so easy , what's my problem then ?
