About the Build
I had been wanting to try out a
metallic finish on a kit for a while, but knew
I needed a kit with some flair to pull it off.
It just seemed fitting for this particular kit.
I sprayed down a coat of Tamiya chrome silver
and then several coats of Tamiya clear red. The
blue and yellow were left unmetallic. The frame
is a mixture of Tamiya gunmetal and Tamiya flat
blue. It gave the innards a rather neat-o blue
gunmetal finish.
It's a basic build without messing
with the seam lines. This is due to my wanting
to be able to remove the armor and play with the
"fighting action frame", another reason
I chose this kit. The funny thing is... I've never
removed the armor.
The figure was painted with Tamiya
acrylics as well. The lines on the coat were done
with a #2 pencil. I completed this kit in May/June
of 2002 during my "stock colors" phase.
