HGBF - Zaku Amazing - Dark Matter

[franciscfs]

A simple kit from the Build Fighters series which I was using for a Facebook groupbuild event, since I am not good in modding yet so just thought of giving it a repaint for something fresh. Feel free to comment and pointers is always welcomed.

Paint Used:-
Mr Color Red Gloss
Mr Color GX Metal Black

Gaianotes Surfacer EVO Black
Gaianotes SB Duralumin
Gaianotes SB Iron
Gaianotes Gun Metal 


The box-art was kinda nice...


Ample of runners for a HG guy...


Using sandpaper and nail polish block for nub mark removal...


Masking for the weapon parts painting...


The results was kinda good...


Backpack completed and only painted the Silver part of the blade with StarBright Duralumin in fear of the friction between the blade and the backpack.


All piping painted with SB Duralumin as well...one of my fav paint choice by now...

After the weapons and piping is done then I moved to selecting a good paint scheme and design for it if possible and the testing was as per below....



The pattern seems nice in the spoon...now the challenge is to transfer to the parts itself...

[franciscfs]

Started the build from the head while plan for the paint scheme as I progressed...not the best practice but kinda keep me moving at least....

Kratos Mono-eye?


The design seems to work well there...


Continue the work to the waist as well...

The shoulder pads and hands was given the same treatment but lesser lines were put to prevent too much details in it...




The hands and the pistol holster...



More masking tape need to be cut and learnt the importance of a sharp hobby knife...





After some fingers crossing moment....




After all is ready for assembly...




The Final Feet piece....

Amazing! (Sorry, couldn't resist).
But seriously, love the colour scheme.
