I think that would be a great addition. I am unfamiliar with this specific product but I have a few Mr color crystal colors that add a really nice effect. I think I have a nice blue one that may elevate this build a little. Lots of beetle carapaces have that jewel like shimmer. Good call. I guess I’m now leaning towards a more high gloss for the armor parts and flat for the joints, nooks and crannies. Thanks so much for the suggestion. 👍 This is what the blue crystal color looks like over dark lacquer paint. This is from Wave co. FFS kit

First layers of brushes painting lacquers are down and looking rough. Going to do another thin layer all around then it’s time for clean up, some panel lines “I guess I’ll call them that”, flat top coat and weathering etc… been super busy lately so its taking forever to get this done.

There is no end to your madness. I love it!!!!👍

😍

@nightmareB4macrossAny ideas on final color scheme for this beauty?

Oh yeah! This is looking great!

Texture added and all primed up for some brush painting. This is the 💩stage of this build. Now I just need to fix a few seam shadow areas and the loose hip joints. The floppy legs can’t support the weight of the backpack jet thing. If not supported by a nearby bottle of loctite, our friend Bozune does a complete back bend or face plant. Oof!

Hahaha. How dare you insult my baby like that. I will do my best to properly represent this creep the best I can. 😜

Bozune, you are a hot mess and I love you. 😂 I few more seam lines to deal with then I’m going back into it with some surfacer 500 for texture and brush painting this goofball with lacquers. 👍

That’s great! Oh and post a photo of the Q-Rau once you finish it up.

I’ll do the one character from the Dunbine kit for now and maybe dig into that old L-Gaim box set next. Will be fun to keep jumping around.

That’s a great shot with all the various scales. 👍

Those look great!

Yeah I think you’re right about that.

Hahahaha

Nice. I saw that too. I have a few of those HG kits waiting to be built. Might be a fun kit to bring with on a trip or build while chilling on the couch watching a movie.

Whoa. I hope you are ok. That sounds scary.

While I build sub assemblies, sort and sand the KOG I’m going to crack into this Dunbine box set I got off that Bandai site thing. Going to kick it off with Bozune. It has two runners and a small piece of ribbon. Really basic, I love basic. Hahaha. I’m very excited for this and I guess the KOG is going to be awesome too for different reasons. Sooooo shiny! Lol

Wow that’s a cool sculpt!

Love it!

@GMKThanks for sharing. I see the same construction as the earlier versions. Unfortunately all appendages have seams bisecting them. The alignment was good on the DYRL version. Clean up was no big deal with a little puttyl. Looks like the same on this.

That looks great!

Yeah that’s wild.

@505thAirborneWow! That looks 🔥 Great work no doubt.
