Completed Kits #31: HG Graze Ritter Sniper Custom


A friend gave me this kit, I did a little bit of tweaking using the parts that came with it. I used all four of the backpack thruster parts that are intended for the normal graze pace type. Then I've modified the shoulders from the Ritter parts, I've shortened them a lot. I then cut the barrel of the rifle and replaced it with a barrel twice the length and scratched a scope to go with. I cut a hole in the sword and inserted a laptop HDD screw. Magnets under both side skirts then a bit of brass rod on the left side skirt to hold the sword in just the right place.

For paint I've used
-Vallejo Surface Primer Gray
-Vallejo Model Air German Gray
-Vallejo Model Air Light Gray
-A mix of Vallejo Model Air Red RLM23 and Vallejo Model Air Off White for the sensors
-Vallejo Model Air Metallic Signal Red
-Vallejo Metal Color Jet Exhaust for frame parts
-Vallejo Metal Color Dull Aluminum
-Vallejo Polyurethane Matt Varnish

Completed Kits #30: Vidar Custom

Been pretty swamped with work, this has been done for a while its just been a matter of actually posting it up. I did a pretty basic colour swap, some light weathering and a few minor mods to fill it out a little bit. I had kind of intended a slightly brighter colour of purple but this plum colour panned out quite nicely.

For paint I've used

-Vallejo Model Color Red RLM23
-Vallejo Model Air Camouflage Gray
-A mix of Vallejo Model Air Red RLM23 and Vallejo Model Air Grey Blue

Completed Kits #29: Barbatos Lupus Custom

It has taken me forever to post this and I think its going to take me even longer to get to the Vidar and Astray that I took to the show as well. So I did a pretty basic colour swap, some light weathering and a few minor mods to fill it out a little bit. The shield is scratch built and mounted with the left arm gun components. I removed most of the visible seams, added Kotobukiya MSG thruster bells and Bandai fuel tanks to the backpack. 

For paint I've used
-Vallejo Surface Primer Gray
-Vallejo Model Color Sky Blue for sensors on the head
-Vallejo Model Air German Gray
-Vallejo Model Air Beige
Vallejo Model Air Red RLM23
-A mix of Vallejo Model Air Red RLM23 and Vallejo Model Air Yellow
-Vallejo Model Air Metallic Signal Red
-Vallejo Metal Color Jet Exhaust
-Vallejo Metal Color Dull Aluminum
-Vallejo Polyurethane Matt Varnish
