On of my earlier builds from 2020. I gave Saint-ism’s shading technique a try on this model and really liked the way it turned out. The ‘frosting’ effect on the shield was done by mixing some acrylic paint with valljeo’s water effect, then topcoating with Mr. Color GX super smooth clear. This kit was also my FIRST go around with shading!

Paints used:

• Gaia Notes Mechanical Surfacer Super Heavy
• Gaia Notes Steel White
• Gaia Notes Blue Fog White
• Gaia Notes Purple
• Mr. Color Sky Blue
• Gaia Notes Bright Gold
• Mr. Color GX Super Smooth Clear topcoat (flat finish)
