MG Deathscythe EW

Now I just realised I had forgotten to post the completed MG Deathscythe EW here. Had posted in some forums but not updated here yet lol...

This kit was intended as some sort of test kit to test out some airbrush techniques, came out quite nicely indeed! Some minor mods done which are extension of neck and waist, with scribed panel lines and pla-plates at certain areas. Paints used had some grey mixed to achieve the pale color tone. Shading not too obvious, but just to my liking.

Thanks for looking! 

[WIP] MG Deathscythe EW Part 3

Made a trip to the hobby store for a re-sup. Got myself some more black paint and 1 bottle of Gaia Bright Gold!

Completed painting. The dark grey areas are painted with a mixture of black, white and fluorescent pink. Added some grey to the yellow and red so that it kind of matches the tone of the dark grey parts.

Painted black base coat, then paint inside with dark grey mixture. Shading effect quite subtle, not that obvious.

[WIP] MG Deathscythe EW Part 2

Off to the paint shop! 

Kit primed with Mr Primer 1000. Encountered lots of problems, splattering of primer out of the nozzle, primer not spraying well. At first I thought maybe the primer wasn't thinned enough, so I added more thinner but same thing happened. Turned out it was the nozzle problem... Replaced it and everything worked nicely :)

Gave the primer a few days to cure, then continue painting starting with the inner frame color, then the white parts with some subtle shading (can't see well in the pics).

Meanwhile, decals for the Gundam Throne finally arrived, time to get them out of the shelf for decaling..

[WIP] MG Deathscythe EW Part 1

Another MG project?? I'm on a roll here!!

Picked another snap-fitted MG from my 'snap-fit shelve' - MG Deathscythe EW.

I kind of like the design of this kit. Doesn't have a massive backpack (Strike Freedom / Destiny...) or a whole bunch of weapons. Just a small backpack for the back boosters, weapons only a beam scythe and a 'claw-like' thing on the arm.

Oh, I found the height of this MG quite short.

So I did some lengthening mods at the waist, not to forget a neck extension as well.

Then some panel line scribing so the parts doesn't look so plain...

Thanks for looking!!
