will carry on until finish..

the head and the shoulder already that mixed white colour..
so just continue..

Nice painting! Bro 8tvt GoGo!

Later you can start conducting painting tutorial class for newbie liao, RM10 / month, I be your 1st student lar, hehe!

The silver is not the normal gundam marker....i used other marker which can get from garden's art shop. the marker is call painty....the silver is damn shining.....

Comment are well appreciated so that i know how and where i can improved.....

nofx: The art shop is near robinson side... i think its 2 floor....they have loads of copic marker but expensive....and as for copic marker...the good thing is that there are a lot of different tone for 1 color....it make me so confuse therefore i din buy the copic and buy the painty marker instead....

1 more good stuff is the top coat....the brand is folk art...green bottle is for matt and blue bottle is for gloss....i used that to do my liu bei...check out whether you like it or not....i kinda like it cost its only RM 19.90 per bottle...a lot cheaper than mr hobby top coat..hahhaha

Try at your own risk....

yo bro manta, very nice painting u have there!!

I like the blue! U use hand painting?

But I think the shadow lining is a bit thick, maybe if use copic 0.02 can get better result? But judge from the kits itself, I think Ryubi is really hard to paint I'm now trying on the easiest kits - Chiba-I White Sazabi...

got 1 question, I use copic 0.02 on lining, but it easily being rub off whenever my hand / finger touch over it, how to make it permenant?

@bro mante...huhu finaly..good result to u..nice..ops btw..where area u live now? hehe i dunno where is da robinson side lo

@bro apion..u need to topcoat it

good job manta. i haven't painted liu bei so dunno what to comment. hehe. but i'm sure you'll feel satisfied with the finish product compare to unpainted one.

apion - what is copic?

hehe masta..actually copic is da lining marker brand..very fine compare to normal gundam lining marker

the back hair n horn there.. is it putty or just paint?
hard to make it even?

wahh, manta.e, nice work there. Keep it up !

thanks for the info nofx. never heard of it before. =.=" for me i normally use gundam panel lining pen to do the lining.

Opps ya, the copic is a brand.

I bought this pen and founf it's quite nice for very thin lining. Some picture as below:

ok.. let's see 70% in progress..

@ mante heheh not bad ^^ keep up the good work

@ 8tvt: this is so nice!! bro how do you paint the white part so smooth and the helmet blue and red part

as expected from 8tvt, a nice piece of work! take more pic with diff pose bro.

ok these are the tweak..

i'm always been told that colouring the white is most annoying n tend to spider webbing and sticky..

we need skills of course n patient patient².. and set of rules..
1 - use very thin white
2 - strike the brush 1-2 times only and let it dry..
3 - make another layer after that until can cover the plastic colour..

*please note that i'm not using primer..
if the paint in the plate still there in order to wait the paint on the kit dry...
just strike other parts with the same colour.. and repeat the process..

these for the blue n red part of the helmet
1 - use gold to cover all the part
2 - after the gold dried use the blue n red

* i like to use gold n silver - the most easiest colour to paint..

see the colour on the chest there.. it meant to be in red..
body part still on the making..
