Comment
I bought this kit on cheap sale at a local store in Sungai Wang along with MG Gundam
Version Ka. I always have a liking to those "shoot me" mass production type mecha. Most
people turn off by this MG is solely on the reason of its color. Green and Red just do not
fit together and I detest it too. I plan to change its color and I chose a “Desert Type”
color scheme (similar to Domtropen in 0083).
Recently my modeling interest is focused on figures and I have pushed out 4 figures in a
row. That is getting a bit boring now. My reason for switching to figure is for the
challenge and due to the time that I have. A figure can be completed in a week whereas a MG
simply took me from 2 to 3 weeks for a decent job. By the time I have finish painting all
parts, I am running low on energy. I felt that I do not pay much work on detailing. I am
looking for an express method to build MG so that I could spend more time to detail it.
Believe it or not, this MG is built in two (2) days!
For the detail construction process, refer to "Building
MG, The Express Way".

I got myself 2 more paint mixtures for the shadow colors, earth:black (1:1) and white:wood brown (1:1).
I just airbrush the shadow to the kit on low pressure.
Do not worry about screw up. The next step is to mist the original color back to the kit.
( can explain more on this? ie dont worry about screw up ? and mist? meaning i low-pressure spray shadows all over the parts, then use original colors to respray?
First spray the mixed paint with low pressure (5 p.s.i) to those corners for shadow area. Later lightly mist (like spraying aerosol ) with original color again. Spraying shadow under low pressure require your AB to be very near to the parts while misting is the other way round where you pull your AB slightly further away comparing to normal spraying distant. Use 10 - 15 or sometimes 20 p.s.i depending on your style.
The objective of misting is to blend 2 contrasting color together. How subtle is your shading depends on how long or many layers you mist the original color.
Hmm... I wonder what "sand" do you use??? I use "pyroxylin lacquer" and it need to be smoot-ed and it damage the paint result... but that alchemical can be liquid by acrylic thinner
