Working on this kit was a pretty straightforward experience, the GN Frame which was originally from the Dynames is still as solid as ever. The only issue I encountered is that some of the backs of the Orange parts are visible especially on the ones that go on the back of the shoulders, so you should remember to paint those.
I decided to make the internals of the shoulder a more matte grey instead of metallic, as I prefer large surfaces to have some kind of shading on them.
Again I used the Kyrios decals by Delpidecal, they’ve included some nice orange pinstriping which their own custom design. The stripe on the leg is ordinarily designed to go on the left leg, since the shoulder decal is already on the left side I put mine on the right leg to balance it out a bit.
By far the least enjoyable part of this build was working on the missile launchers, there is a massive mould line going across a part that has 9 surfaces and there are 4 of these parts to fix.
Anyway this is one of those rare times when I’ve managed to do a WIP for a build, so please check them out if you’d like to see some of the painting tech I use.
