Wings
I added the extra decals behind the wings since it’d be kind of plain without them. Plenty of those white decals on the wings to make it nicer! Haha… The front part is basically the same. Paneling on the blasters was kind of annoying to make. At first I almost decided not the line it but since I’ve started better just finish it. I painted the silver and gold part on the pipe parts if anyone notices. =)
Side guns
The side guns were sprayed with a shade of sky grey. It looks much better than the original plastic gray. The decals are different from the front and from the back. Well if I ever decided that ETERNAL01 doesn’t look nice, I can always interchange with METEOR. The trouble I had with the side beams was when it needed to be closed and opened frequently. Some paint at the areas which has friction always peels off. I found out that if you spray enough clear paint, it tends to prevent it from peeling off that easily.
Gun
The gun is pretty much normal. I’ve only recently bought my clear blue and painted it on the scope but I haven’t taken any action pictures of it. Oh yea, I cut the gun nozzle so that it’d look better.
Shield
The shield doesn’t have much special features. But the paneling for the inner parts is very fine. What I did was use my art knife and cut a deeper path for the waterbase ink to flow. So what I needed to do was just press the marker on the edges and let the ink flow. Later I just use either a rubber or the blender marker to clean up.
Legs
The inner parts of the leg which includes the hydraulics and pipes were painted with gold and silver. The small boosters at the legs were also painted silver. The knee was given a grey shade to follow the original colouring of the model. And yea, more and more decals. =)
Back skirt
The back skirt is pretty much like that. I added some extra decals and painted the inner part grey and silver. By the way, the original colour for the inner part of the back skirt was white. First I painted the silver parts and then mask them. Later, I sprayed grey. After taking of the mask, eventually there were some areas which were not covered. So what I did was used a brush and carefully painted the parts.
