Heavyarms Build Pt. 1

Heavyarms build Pt. 1

Saying bye bye to the red but I love the orange I made. So many undertones and adding the clear red to it has such a neat effect.

I was a bit skeptical while painting the limbs but once I put it on with the orange I was so happy! It’s exactly how I wanted it. :} ❤️❤️

The packs on the bottom left are the original color.

The picture doesn’t really do it justice, it’s more of a beige with a hint of green. Maybe when I take “professional” looking photos it will show or when I put it next to the other gundams.

Waiting on some more supplies and paints so this is as far as I can go until I get them in. So I’ll do the decals while I’m waiting. I’m really happy with the results and it’s turning out exactly how I planned it.

Did half the decals and set it in the cabinet with the others for color comparison. Also so our kitty doesn’t get to it. I’m pleased with it.

Swapped hands with my wing gundam. That kit has a lot of issues but I wanted the open hands for wing. Also, painted the chest Gatling guns in alclad 2 gunmetal.

Picked up alclad 2 “white aluminum” to do the pods. Decided to mount all the pod hatches since they don’t need the covers to be on the model.

Heavyarms pt. 1 Incase you were ever wondering how I color match. I’d assume “the hard way” would be the best answer. This is a new t

Wing gundam update from my IG. I’m a little unsure.

Instagram is really bad with video but I’m about 40% done with the decals. I haven’t touched the wings yet 😒

Another example of the ivory shading. The left is done the right is just primered with all ivory and no highlights.

A different lighting.

Recently changed the blue on my RX-78. I originally went for more realistic colors but I really fell in love with the verka blue. I may use this color on something else in the future.

Im half considering re-doing the red too.
