Shin Musha Gundam Gallery

Kit: MG Shin Musha Gundam

I will let the guy-who-takes-pictures-at-work's pictures speak for themselves.

Before heading off to battle

He's ready for battle!

With a shiny new paint and detail job, Shin Musha is ready to set out to battle... whoever it is that is against him.

I am still planning to dirty and scar him up a little, plus some other changes. I thought that before I did that I should take some pics just in case he turns out terribly...




With these big shoulder armour, I think he looks like a ladybug.

Who needs gold when you have silver

OUCH!!

I hurt my thumb trying to pry apart pieces of the Shin Musha Gundam. Don't worry. The gundam is perfectly fine. In fact, it's better than perfectly fine. It is finely perfect. I exaggerate, but only a little.

I didn't like the goldish plastic that came with the shin musha kit for the piping. I found the colour I wanted to use and it's called Tamiya Silver Leaf! It sprays so cleanly and leaves a beautiful shine. One coat was enough for each piece.

And after some assembly, and starting a few panel lines. I can show the sub assembled pieces before I put the decals and finish the panel lining.

First the feet!

Then the legs! Mmm...

Sode and Kote... armour terms for those who don't know. He is a Musha Gundam so I gotta talk about the Yoroi.

Skirt and lower torso!

The torso and shoulders! Mmmm.. shiny! キラキラですね。

The backpack with shiny thrusters!

The kabuto (helmet for you non japanese martial arts lingo speakers out there) and the face which I hacked off with my saw so I could glue the helmet to remove seam lines.

Face glued back on! Now let's let it dry and this weekend I can apply decals and finish the panel lining.


My original plan was to dirty and damage him up a bit and I have some ideas I want to try, but he is so shiny and beautiful I don't know if I have the courage to do it.
