Emperor protects – Oh yes!!! I’m with Warhammer40k from 2nd edition (1993)… Never played a board-game, never had an army, I am just fan of wh40k artworks, books and general lore. Of course, I’m painting miniatures – mostly Spacemarines and Chaos forces – I love this grim and dark universe – just love it! It…
I added a bit of dirt on a base 🙂 Enamel Wash from Modeller’s World did the job. After removing wash residues and cleaning empty areas with AK White Spirit. The Base is finalized! Lookslike old dirty, landing pad – I like it! Going back to Sazabi – I used rest of photoetched details –…
After initial weathering, I applied UX100 from MrHobby and added some decals. Platform no 05 – why not? Then decals were sealed with same gloss varnish andAK XtremeMetal was used to paint pipes etc. Next step – washes and additional weathering!
For funnels I went with different shade of Glossy/Candy Red, to add additional eyecatchers 🙂 I see a lot of Sazabis with same color everywhere – time to break the rules 🙂 This time I went with Tamiya laquers only. Silver as basecoat was applied then Clear Red from LP range. Then decals were applied.…
I’m planning to put little Saz on an old platform – for a contrast between glossy mech and used/worn deck of landing pad.I will use ActionBase1 and some dedicated photetched parts from MadWorks. Base after Tamiya Surface Primer applied – its soo cool to look at primed parts – looking like 3D rendering… After primer…
Parts were disassembled (again) and prepared for clear cote application. MrHobby GX100 applied – damn I love this one! Colors and smooth surface looks even better after clear gloss!
With great pleasure I would like to share some pictures of my biggest Gunpla project ever – NZ-666 Kshatriya / UC Recast’s full resin build.
After few water-decals sessions I finished ”by the book” markings. With those tiny symbols Sazabi started to look like a real thing! Anyhow I wasnt fully satisfied… I NEED MORE!!! :), started with fuel containers detailing… unfortunately one of gold fragile decals was damaged… I removed it with moistered tootpick, very gently to not damage…
I chose “realgrade” version for decals with some additonal custom golden logos etc. Started with shield by the book. DL Model decals are marked same as original RealGrade – so instruction is very helpful. Decals are easy to apply and they’re reacting well to MicroSol that I’m using. Other thing is gold emblems from Infinity…
I was playing with metal parts to complete powertube for Saz’s belt – I really didn’t liked that, all beads were just hanging on metal spring from the set… Original belt, wasn’t just rounded, so I decided to recreate it.A wire from metal paper clip was used, then I pushed spring onto it then beads…
