MG ガンダムエクシア Gundam Exia WIP 5

Posted by Flawless EXA [www] 

Haven't seen much Gundam or other plamo on figure.fm recently. Thought that I'd share my most recent progress on my MG Exia. Previous WIP is here. Exia’s arms has to be completed, along with other various parts as well.

Mouseover = load notes.

1st things 1st, I needed to finish off the left arm by adding his hand.

This part, which is for the calf of the leg, needs to be sanded & panel-lined.

All done! Let’s get to inking and panel-lining other parts.

The insides of these pieces, which are pieces for the upper arm & the back of the thigh, are inked. Waiting to dry.

Meanwhile, I realized that I have been spray painting each individual pieces, when I used to spray the whole runner. So I decided to do that again.

I don’t think I’ll spray the whole runner anymore. ^ ^;

These parts from before have a few spots which I hand-painted (with a toothpick ^ ^;). Yet to be cleaned up. Which I will do so by scratching the excess paint off.

Tada~ All that is left is the right arm & the head…..well, let’s get started!

…And done! Same process as the left arm in the previous WIP.

These are all of the parts that I will be putting together for the head. I am only doing the frame or the bare minimum of parts right now.

The insides are inked, and the clear parts are painted with green.

The frame is completed at last! Looks amazing, just stunning details. ^ ^

Finally, a model that can knee down similarly to a human! ^ ^
MG Exia has amazing articulations, but I wonder how it is with all the armors…

Now, I am going to take my sweet, sweet time to build the armors on. Don’t expect the next WIP until a long time later….maybe I should change it to WISP (work in slow progress) now… ^ ^;;

    Looks good so far. I should really get working on my MG Exia, it's been sitting in my closet for months.

    What paint did you use there? It look like pencil leads. ^^

      Spray paint, Krylon Plastic, metallic black hammered.

      I should copy and paste that into all my WIPs. I always get questions on the inner frame's paint. ^ ^;;

    Paint on inner frame looks frosted.. By any chance you painted while the temps are really low?

      No, the bay area is extremely stable in climate. ^ ^;

      The paint does have a texture to it, but it does not look as "frosted" in real life. Just the camera.
