TT Hongli Hi-Nu doesn't Have a Very Good Head on His Shoulders...
We continued on with the Hi-Nu Gundam the following Tuesday (3/29) and we only got the head done, it was stressful day for the two of us, so we just didn't feel like building much. So here it is...
Side view, and that seam line is just awful. The halves just don't line up.
The faceplate seems to be out or down too far from the "helmet" and the chin is LOL HUGE!
I painted the eyes clear yellow, and here you can see what I mean about the face plate. It just sits so low that the eyes especially look out of place.
Not sure if it's because of the face plate issue, but the forehead camera doesn't go up all the way into the head! FRUSTRATING!
Melissa noticed this interesting bit:
The V-Fin is VERY flexible! She said this is good because she won't be able to break this one :-P... She snapped a few pieces on her Trans AM Exia HG and MG.
Went ahead and painted a few silver details on the head; vents, vulcans, etc.
Painting my base red on top and black along the bottom.
To match Amuro's A on the Nu Gundam's shoulder and shield, to show the link or something like that.
Melissa went a little more Bling Bling than I would have liked...
All silver for her base.
That's it for this posting. We moved onto the arm right arm last Monday and we mat get to more this weekend.
Until Next Time: Happy Building!
could you give a step by step procedure on how you got that silver effect on the base? im hoping to do the same thing
ReplyDeleteI didn't paint it, my fiance did. All she did was use a wide brush and hand painted some thinned Testors Model Masters brand Chrome Silver. It was nothing special.
