DrunkenMaster2 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Here I painted the parts, I use Tamiya Medium Blue and Flat Blue. After the paint dried I applyed a thin coat of Semi-gloss, then I panels the lines with black oil paint. Then I dry brush sky blue, this makes the parts pop out. Here I tape the area I didn't want to paint. I airbrush Alclad steel, then peel off, looks good. Almost finished!!! Edited October 4, 2008 by DrunkenMaster2 Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 GREAT!! I've been waiting for an update from you for so long now...looks top notch as expected Quote
007-vf1 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 That looks sweet. Now you know what we all model builders of the famous hasegawas' have gone through. I do paint the nozzle bay areas carefully by hand. I would easily waste 1 hour taping the whole fast packs for 3 little holes to peak through.... Another way I have done it successfully is making a mask cut out of paper or thin transparent plastic and paint it like artists do on animation airbrushing cels, placing it over the part to be painted...

DrunkenMaster2 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Well back, here you can see I painted the boosters. Again I used Alclad Steel for the base, then use Alclad Jet Exhaust for exhaust marks. Quote
DrunkenMaster2 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Started the applying the decals. As you can see I painted Tamiya Smoke for burnt effects. Came out pretty good, can't wait to see what it looks like when I put it all together. Quote
DrunkenMaster2 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Finally finish the strike pack. Added the boosters and panel the lines for the UN Spacy. Next update should be the finish kit!!! Quote
Parker Midwinter Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 how did you achieve such a clean edge with the light blue highlighting? it looks great, btw Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 he drybrushes with a big brush the edges carefully not to overdue it, urr....search his other build of this same kit but in battroid, he explains it there... looks awesome! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 bump from the dead, hey DrunkenMaster2, did you ever finish this? Quote
