First Real Paint

Just finished putting on the first layer of real paint. I decided to start with the hands and exo skeleton. I have been using a 2 part paint system for "metal" looking parts. I use Alcad LAcquer paint for all of my metal finishes, the Magnesium being the color I use for most of my frame work for the Gundams. It's a 2 part system, with the first step being a lacquer gloss black and the second part being the metal finish. They also make Aluminum, Chrome, Pearl and Burnt Aluminum as well. I haven't decided yet on an overall paint scheme, so it may wait till after I return from Maine.

Last 2 projects. Finished pics, pics of new kit.

This is the current kit on my work bench, the MG Rick Dias.

These shots are of the MG Wing Gundam ver Ka I finished just before Christmas.

This is the MG MK II Titans.

MG Rick Dias

Haven't published in a while, so I need to post some pics of the MG Rick Dias as I start paint. I have laid down the primer coat using Duplicolor sandable auto primer. It is the most even coat I've used and its sandable with 1000 grit and gives a great base for color. I have done some minor mods to panels adding panel lines and accenting shallow panel lines to emphasize depth. I will post pics of the upcoming gun mods and the color scheme I'm working on.
