Vallejo Mecha White Primer!
Again, Vallejo Mecha will be my paints for PsychoZaku. Zaku stripped down – I will not disassemble inner frame, I will paint visible parts only. Definitely I need to create more clamps… Primer applied!
New Year – New Project: Psycho Zaku
Wooohooo!!! Finally I have it – oob build during Christmas 2018 – MS-06R Zaku II High Mobility type PSYCHO ZAKU, now its time for next step – painting and customizing. Initially I wasn’t fan of Zakus in general, but I gave a try for Psycho, I always was kinda impressed by the way PsychoZaku is…
My first painted Gunpla completed!
It was great journey – real return to scale modeling after years. New techniques, paining with fast drying and self-leveling acrylics and general ease of use Vallejo Mecha made this project smooth and very satisfying I love RGMs – for sure it is not my only RGM79… 🙂 Next step – photo session of finished…
Matte varnish and final touches
Additional details painted and Vallejo Mecha Matt applied. I decided to replace antenna – guitar string looks just fine!
Weathering completed
Dirt, wear, streaks, scratches and beated up metal – thats how I like my Gunpla.
Weathering started and some details
I like those small details in weathering – dirt, scratches, rust (of course gundamium will not) streaks oils stains and etc. Someone didn’t washed hands today….
Glossy!
After decals and before weathering I,m always applying gloss clear cote – Vallejo Mecha Gloss Varnish in this case – sits perfectly and looks good!
Decals!
After application of clear varnish (Vallejo Mecha – out of the bottle) and giving it fair amount of drying time, the time has come for water slides application. I like this part of project – decals – in my opinion, specially in case of Gunpla modeling decals are super important! All those small notes/warnings/caution marks…
