Excellent choice. Say what you will, they're actually good quality paints. One could also thin down some grey and run it into the panel lines, if that's to your tastem

Thoughts? Also from what I saw in the instruction manual scans, there's no ABS, just polystyrene all throughout.

I thought Bandai was moving to polystyrene frames to cut costs and lighten the weight of the models.



It has an internal frame, but like the Age 1, the internal frame is a bit on the simplified side of the spectrum.

It's a good start and it's wonderful that you're keeping with the spirit of the showing and giving it your own flair. I don't own the kit yet, but looking at the manual and info page at Dalong's, I have a few thoughts:

If you disassemble the shoulder pads, you can clean up the excess yellow paint surrounding the groove. This way you save your hard work.

If you do want to strip the silver paint, a good solvent to use is Windex or any of its analogs. let it soak over night and then use an old toothbrush to remove the paint. It won't eat away at the plastic like actual paint strippers will.

Additionally, it might be easier to disassemble the shield and paint the white piece silver when separated. Thin the silver with a little bit of water and apply several thinner coats of silver and that should help keep the paint from "clumping" up as much.

Again, great start. Keep it up.

Cheers that's I might keep these tip on my go a head on continuing also what the best wat to get rid of the excess yellow paint

If you dip a cotton swab in some rubbing alcohol, squeeze off the excess, it should do nicely when cleaning the white part of the shoulder pad.

Ok cheers rubbing alcohol never heard of that before

Isopropyl Acohol breaks down the acrylics real well, it's great for clean up work. Unfortunately it will ruin some acrilyc paints when used as a solvent.

Ah right so it best to use it after the pain dried

The pain never dries, it is always there, in my heart, reminding me of lost or broken toys.
