WIP Gundam Artifact Nightingale
Went with a no-mask fix-later approach. I'm finding that all the over spray is making is hard for me to tell if I like the direction the model is progressing. Also not liking how hard it is to predict the result color when pre-shading.

Making some progress on this Gundam artifact nightingale. at this scale you can get pretty far without doing any sort of masking. need to decide what my base color is going to be

yesterday I tried panel lining using ak weathering pencils. they're water soluble so u can grind the pencil wet into a paint tray and then apply it with a thin brush, then clean up with a wet cotton swab. more tedious but more forgiving

fwiw my first kit was MG Buster Gundam and I had a good time. if you mess up there's always the opportunity to learn how to fix it or fix it later when you've gotten more experience

was trying to go for white. I think the topcoat melted the highlight colors cause it turned back to grey, even though the white highlight had almost a week to dry. #gunpla

gunpla build night. first in a while. will paint another day. planning on grinding thru all my high grade kits and worrying about paint later when inspiration hits. trying to cull the backlog. it's tough though cause I don't like how unpainted models look next to my more finished models

as awesome as this kit is I can't be bothered to paint the grey parts. luckily it's the premium satin grey so it looks pretty good. gonna finish building the accessories then take some photos
