Queadluun Rau in custom colors

[CrazyMartian]

Hi. This is a little project I've been working on for a while. Some time ago I found a sale in a store and much to my surprise they had Q-Rau kits. The kit itself was OLD, which is why I went for it instead of more modern ones. Since it was all green and ugly, I decided to paint it, and little by little, I've been advancing due to a lack of time. I think it's been a year since I started it.

I still have a long way to go. I didn't file down the seams because the plastic was quite brittle either because of its age or how it was stored, probably both. I was afraid I would break it, so I will attempt something to hide them with either a a sticker of something else. For the face, I'm going to try adding something to it, I still don't know what, though. I'll give it some thought. Also, I will retouch the paint here and there, since I accidentally damaged it in a few spots. After i finish that, I will see if the decals that came with it are viable for application. Of course, the green portions will be properly taken care of.

I have a VF-27, but I'm rather disappointed with the materials used for it. It's so fragile. Still, I'm considering painting it. I would just like to know if there are good spray paints that are relatively easy to apply and stay uniformly on the plastic. Also, what kind of finishing product can you recommend? For the Queadluun Rau, I actually used that thing women put on their nails so they look shiny (I don't know the English name of it), but I'm not quite satisfied with it. Any suggestions? I would like to know if there is one good enough to avoid scratching the paint when transforming the model, since a in a Macross kit, transformation is one of the most important features for me.

I like the idea... Regult colors on a Rau.

I hadn't realized they were the same colors, haha.

My idea was just to have a differently colored Queadluun. For me, Regults have been more white and blue, this custom color is more gray and blue, but you're right. It's the same set of colors as a Regult.

I was wondering why it was so rough then I read your post. Good scheme!

I'm glad jenius pointed out the Regult scheme, I didn't pick up on that either. It's too bad the plastic was so brittle, all the same, it's always cool to come across an oldy but a goody! - MT
