Progress 2

After getting the face out of the way I finished the head. Instead of doing the gundam head mod I see a lot of people do I just masked the face and sensor after putting them in. Then I had to get rid of the seamline in the middle of the head. Pics below.


































































 

More progress

This is going to be a pretty long entry. I spent a few days working on the head. It took me a little while because I ended up doing the eyes twice. First I just painted them in clear green.


































So far so good.
















Rest of the face pieces.


















The problem is after I put the head together the eyes look too dark.


































So I started over. After browsing Hobby Fanatics I found a few different ways people paint eyes and decided to try this one.

















I threw some Alclad II gloss black down first.

















Then Alclad II chrome.


















And then finally the clear green.


















It looks a little better. Atleast to me.

Almost there

I finished the white parts last week but I didn't upload the pics. I actually still have a couple white pieces to finish. One piece that got lost among all the other pieces I was painting and the rest of the gundam's head which I couldn't finish until I did the face. More on that later though.

Last week

I did a lot of stuff last monday that I didn't post. First I painted all the red and blue parts.
 

Then I primed all the white parts and then base coated them in gray. It took forever.
