Ooof. After lots of incidents its finaly completed ! Applying the top coat wasn’t so easy as I expected. Once again to achieve a good glossy coat you need to lay down a couple of nice and even wet coats, and with a spray can that was not so easy, plus I spent allot of it. Still in the end I think it looks quite nicely.
Up close you can notice some grain in the finish, which I think it’s due to the fact that the black paint coats where painted too heavy and without letting the previous coats dry.
The kit itself is pretty standart for a bandai no grade. The only points of notice are the elbow joints which are only single jointed and as such can only bend 45%, but to compensate the heel joints are great and allow a great range of motion.
I really like Blitz’s design and I think the slight changes I made in the tone of the color scheme improve it’s looks. Take a look at some more pictures after the jump and tell me what you think !
The paint job is great but how you’re still missing the panel lines and it seems to thick to use a gundam marker in there
Panel lines are missing because I wanted to try using shading to get the effect . In some cases it worked in others not so well, this was a kit to try out new techniques afterall. And I will never ever use a gundam marker on a kit, they suck, at most I could use the real touch markers .
love the colors you chose to paint the Blitz with. 🙂 got a real clean look to it. Are you going to get the MG Blitz…? :)?
Thanks 🙂
I’ll probably not be getting the MG Blitz. It looks very cool, but there are so many kits that I want to do and so little time that, I may have to pass on that one.
