HG 1/144 Mr. Bushido's Ahead Part 02

Some Fuss Shared

As I mentioned in previous post,I'd work on this kit a bit. mostly on panel lining.

Real Touch Marker Gray 2+ abundance of ear picker cotton bud.

While the marker work wonder for lining, I found they're easy to be rubbed off. The line need to be deepen, so this is what I do:

Using a scribing tool(mine's salvaged compass),carefully trace the 'armor separation'.Repeat few times.

Sometimes you end up with burr,like this one.Left unattended & it'll ruin your lining. So take a art(any) knife, deburr it.

Now we can back to business:

Touch your marker on the part, & enjoy the beauty of panel line.\(^o^)/

Some clean-up required after that of course.

Good for me this is just another HG kit,making this chores of lining easy-time wise. Can't tell how long it'll take if it's a *cough* Seed *cough* MG kit. Nevertheless, I'm happy with the result. Though I think the gray marker is more to black when applied,kinda kill the tone. Brown/magenta marker can give better effect I'd say,a better shade.

Onto some 'real' paintwork.\\\(*o*)///

Here's what:

Fruit of my labor, which my Nikon L23 can barely capture.(>.<)

As you can see, I only touch grey-required area. There're still other to cover; black & orange. That have to wait for the paint, which I don't have right now. But for the orange,you know,I think I've a better option...*grin*

Till next post folks~!
