How to make ''WINGS OF LIGHT''

[daddyvanz]

I have to make an ''effect'' like those ''Wings of Light'' which are very costly when you both on dealers and toyshops . This one however is a quarter worth of those sold on stores . Me and @wuji were doing some errands on the mall last few weeks ago while trying to find some materials for the other projects that I have . We stumbled on these acrylics sheets sold at Deovir at SM North . It was a bit pricy but I guess it suits the budget ,so I grab 4 sheets and went home.

Here are some photos and a mini tutorial on how I made those effects.



First I grab some pics on the net where I can base my sketches .Then do some rough sketch on a piece of paper the upper effects . There are about 2 different effects , the upper and lower effects for each pair of DRAGOONS.



Then after that I placed the clear acrylic sheets on top of the sketch that I made , I cut the lines by using a very sharp hobby knife. You can used either scissors or blade what ever suits you well.



Then re-attached the cut piece on the Dragoons to edit and cut some unwanted strips.



Next will be the lower effects . I did the same method mentioned above .



Then off to applying the color scheme and designs...



I applied a white base first so that the next color will bright up when applied .





second coat of color were applied which is blue. You have to wait before you can apply the next sets of coats so it wont drip or sagged .



Then a few more finishing touches and a full coat of Flat to seal off the paints.Noticed the change in color when applied with flat coat . The color lightens b'coz of the white base and the flat coats applied .



Well there you go!!

Hope that helps you to achieve this type of effects on your STRIKE FREEDOM FULL BURST MODE KIT.

Thank you so much for viewing!!
