i'm not using much color for this color scheme.. the color scheme will just look simple.. enjoy the pics..
Nice color scheme! It'd be nice to see more of these grunt suits shown. They are fun build tho.
really nice styrene mods.

an overall superb custom job!! it fits nicely! just one a the reason im gonna get the xist cgue soon!! :D
can someone help?! im new at custom painting gundam kit!! when i use spray paint on my kit, the paint surface is not even,there's some rough spots! do i need to do something before i start painting??!! T_T
thx anyway. regarding on the painting you mentioned.. first..
what kind of paint you are using? industry type or the hobby type.. industry type will always create uneven surface..
second..
did you sand the area properly or did you use any surfacer? if pure using sanding technique.. then.. few different grade of sand paper needed in order to make the surface smooth after paint.. the sand paper should start with the low grade to high grade to make a fine surface for paint.. as for the surfacer.. higher grade surfacer will help but remember.. you still need to sand the part but not that much because surfacer can help..
third..
watch out the airflow on your painting station.. dust will always be the enemy..
hope it can help..
thanks for the guide info!! and i did use krystal spray paint, mostly the sparkling type. i haven't use any sanding or any surfacer because i still new at painting job. so,sanding make the surface smooth but what does surfacer do then??! :\
the surfacer make the surface more smooth after sanding because we may miss some spot during the sanding..
