WIP: Kan-U Gundam Part 2















I'm about halfway done through this kit. Like I stated in the other WIP, this kit was where I made a lot of experimentations, with sanding, primer, panel line washing and what not. I've learned a few more things as I paint: that glossy paint really sucks for handpainting. I tried Tamiya green acrylic which is really glossy, and the subsequent layers just would not stick properly, and I had to use my Daler-Rowney acrylics instead. The halberd or whatever it is is still in bad shape, just sanded up whatever I could salvage and see how it goes. I may have to get a different kit just for the freaking weapon.



Oh hey look! Another impulse buy!

WIP: Kan-U Gundam


















Well most of my modelling technique experiments on the Kan-U Gundam worked pretty well. The primer (Mr Surfacer) worked pretty well but I found myself having to scribe the panel lines again after priming. This time, I used an enamel wash for the panel lines instead of gundam marker and it looks really good.



















Other experiments, however, didn't turn out so good...
