I gave up on painting this model after noticing a few fun-killing flaws and saw the all-blue body… not worth the effort anymore >_>. Since I’m practically done with this model, the review is not too far away I’m hoping…

It doesn’t look too bad… tho I think you might have overdid the panel lining @.@
I took the lesser of two evils on the face… thick panel line is not my style but I think it goes at least a bit better with SD models ^^;.
Oh, no I meant the white parts on the hands and legs. My bad, should have been more specific.
I think the head looks great with thick panel lining but the body not so… maybe cus it’s so small already and it makes it look messy =/ just my two cents tho ^^
Looking good! Panel lines look good to me!
So what would have to be painted? The red, white, and grey on the torso?
yep… basically anything that is not blue needs painting >_>. Even for a SD kit, the color separation is particularly poor on this model…
still looks good, a good clean look nonetheless,
noticed you used the foils for the eyes and forhead, and for the chest vent thingy inbetween the green orb on the chest
forehead is painted ^^;
Looking great, Zhi!
Btw, have you ever experienced with Resin kit models before?
I have one in mind that I want you to review, but if you’re uninterested it’s completely fine.
I have not messed with resin kits before and I’m way too much of a noob to handle them at this point.
cool…way much better than me if I were to ever do it =) I still hope you would really paint it Z! Please….I looks forward to the fully painted beauty very eagerly!!!!
That was… fast. XP
Yeah, looks like you noticed it will be PITA to paint this one nicely and it just had to be my first SD to be painted with Gundam Markers. (Technically, I choked at painting the inner areas blocked by other parts but they still get painted, messily.)
Looking at the photo, you top-coated it already? O.o
Topcoat on SD model? Not this time xD
That’s a quick work in progress. XD
Not bad. Still I think my SD Sangokuden Zeta Plus has better color separation.
The white/gold trim and the clear parts can be a bitch to mask, though :P
I actually screwed up mine permantently. Used wrong paint marker and noww the bird head is all rough
Wouldnt it be easier if it was painted before assembly??
I did paint it before assembly.
Most of the SD models require some serious painting for them to be true to the lineart. This Exia in particular as that atrocious blue shield lol.
one piece monotone shield is expected from SD models but one-color body is a bit of a stretch… >_>
This reminds me of my SD Justice… The shield took a while to paint, being completely pink @-@
Oh and Z, are you going to paint the GN Sword?
Nope.. I’m not even gonna use the GN Sword.
lol, all-blue body.
well that’s SD for you…
only like Unicorn SD because of his color separation. Hopely Sinanju SD is like that too
not quite… Just about all my other SD models have color-separated upper and lower body so this one was a bit of a surprise to me.
