My MG Strike Freedom in progress, I only painted the black part and the Gold part, other than that, I didn't paint anything else... I'm a busy man, and I can't buy much paint where I'm from.. I'll post a picture of this once i'm done.

Nice close-up. Inking on the gold parts looks good.

Nice job so far. Trust me, it's worth painting the whole suit... ;-)

Wrenley, where in the Philippines are you from. if your in manila you'd find a store in the basement level of SM megamall where they have a complete set of Tamiya spray paint and acrylics.

oh btw nice work, what did you use on the panel lines?
(ID #292234) Posted on 2008/09/06 02:01
best to use fine point markers at least .5 or lower

I usually use a staedler .01 technical pen. unfortunately the paint clogs them up fast and each head cost about P500 about $11usd. I'd often try to clean them but after 2 or 3 cleaning the pen's head is rendered useless. so I just use them with dilluted ink and wash over the panel lines. ^^

fine point markers can be erased by using cotton with out problems and its cheaper P16 per marker and it can last up to 4 MG models ^^

I always wonder how you all paint the verniers. It seems real delicate to use either brush or masking tapes.

those are part of the inner skeleton :P

How about those that are one piece with the front piece of the head? MG strike and all SDs ( I assume ) has those in one piece with their head.I'm not too sure but I believe that it is the same for MG Freedom.

Ey Marvin, I'm from Bohol, hehehe.. I can't buy much paint here.. I use those spray paints like Parlux or something.. and for the panel lines, I use the gundam marker, gm-01, trust me, i know you guys can do a better job since my hand shakes like crazy! haha

I heard the remedy for shakey hands was to pee on it once. I know its gross but I know some folks who swear by it. ^^

Hi Wrenley!I'm from Cebu,we're neighbors!...there's a shop at the 2nd level in Ayala that sells Tamiya paints.I bought the basic flats - white,black,yellow,blue,red and then gunmetal.But it's nice to know that you're using alternative paints like Paralux coz' Tamiya paints are quite expensive. I actually use Painter's acrylic putty for my 1/144's. Nice work!

cool dude.. nice close up.. does anyone realize that painting will increase the weight of the kit?? i paint my MG SF wing and back pack ( i mean i use top coat) and it is very heavy.. lucky that MG SF have a good stabilization on it's legs..
(ID #292775) Posted on 2008/09/06 14:47
Thanks for the advice marvin! I'll definitely try that.. probably before taking a bath :p.. And Zenbonsakura, thanks for the tip, i'll look for that shop if ever I can visit cebu :).. Also Zack, I never knew that, Probably that's why I find it difficult to pose with the wings for now hehehe..
