I decided that I was just going to prime and spray the parts on the runners so I can get rid of the red quick. This runner I sprayed "Gunmetal". I didn't prime it because I don't mind the tan base colour. It won't really show up through the gunmetal.
As you can see this runner comes with 4 different colours of parts.
So I ended up doing something like this to make the recolour easier.
Of course I separated all of them. Gray>Light Gunmetal, Red>White, Dark Red>Metallic Blue. Green clear parts I left as is. I primed the Dark Red/Red parts.
Same deal here.
This one I primed and sprayed Metallic Blue.
The other panels not pictured here I primed and sprayed the new colour I picked up, Metallic Blue-Green.
I'll post the results later.
Go go go! ninja build!!... nice Astraea Type F get there XD
ReplyDeletedoesnt look very blue?
ReplyDeleteits not painted in this pics! that happened after
ReplyDeleteAw..yeah! I've been looking forward to this post.
ReplyDeleteI will be getting this kit today as well. And will work on it fast too. But I think you will finish before I do.
I am trying to imagine the recolor you have in mind. Seems like it will look something akin to GunGai's recent Unicorn Gundam build.
oh lol i thought u did lol
ReplyDeleteah.. busterbeam.. quick question..
ReplyDeleteso u separate the runners according to each color u will use, and u paint it when they still attached to runners?
After u cut the runners out.. how u going to cover the nub marks and stuffs? paint it over a bit using brush?
kinda curious.. coz I usually Airbrusing those after sanding and stuffs ^^;;
oh yeah thats totally logical and thats how you should do it. i just didnt want the red right away and wanted to see it in different colours to get an idea for a new colour scheme. i'm probably going to disassemble it and repaint it now that i've seen where all the problems are (and there are a lot of course) but yes i did prime and spray on the runner just to get rid of the red and see it with different colours mainly. i never really intended for it to a finished product.
ReplyDeletei used a similar technique with my sinanju and most pieces had to be sprayed again but some were ok with just a bit of hand painting or some touch up marker
ahh... I see. Now I get it.. I probably going to try that one soon lol ^^ thanks for explaining :D
ReplyDeleteIts going to be blue, Niceness!! Are you gonna keep the green spikes of GN hammer?
ReplyDeleteyep! no change there!
