MG Exia COMPLETED!!

Finally completed the kit! Don't want to rumble on so here are the pics! 

Now I can put all my attention on my WZC...

MG Exia Final WIP Update

Done with everything, only left with on matte topcoat which I can't spray due to bad weather and school.. I'll probably be able to spray it on friday and post the pics by end of the week so stay tuned!! :D

MG Exia Update 3

It's been a long time since i last updated, new semester just started so I'm now busy wif camps n school n stuff. So before this update, I have already primed and preshaded the parts. The pics shown later are the pics after preshading.

(P.S. Sorry for bad pic quality, all taken with phone! :P) 

Parts all shaded and painted!

Shaded blue tone (not very obvious)

The shaded red is very obvious as I tried using some leftover craft acrylic paint for this and it ended up a total failure...

1. The paint was too thin, I used 5 coats to get this shade...

2. The paint clogged up like nobody's business, 1st time I used it, I didn't know there was undissolved paint stuck right at the nozzle so when i pressed the trigger, guess what happened. Yes... the entire cap literally flew off the airbrush and my hands and all were all covered with paint...

The shaded white areas are personally, my favourite!

Parts all separated and prepared for panel washing! :D

Fully Assembled

 So these are the pics for the fully assembled model all coated with future in preparation for decaling, will take more photos and more poses after I have completed it. So basically, what's left is decaling and finally, a nice matte topcoat! Lesson learnt form this build, 1.NEVER use craft paint! 2. Shading is FUN!!! So stay tuned for the final post on this model after I have completed it! :D

MG Exia Update 2

Not much of an update, just basic de-nubbing and clipping it up to prepare for some priming. 

Don't expect this to be a very fast build as school starts next week so I have to prepare for camp and stuff... 

MG Exia WIP Update 1

Haven't finished my SD Sinanju and here I am, starting on the MG Exia already. For this build, I'll be following the original Box Art colours as I already have an Exia with an alternate colour scheme which could be viewed here. Gonna try out shading for this kit and it will also be my 1st attempt on it, hopefully it will turn out well. 

For this update, I spray-painted the inner frame of the Exia with some Grey Nippon Pylox paint and top coated them with Krylon Matte to avoid scratches and such, did not prime the parts as 1, I'm just too lazy, 2, scared that the joints will be stiff as hell. And as usual, frosting occured on a few parts as it is the rainy season now in Singapore so I had to sand it down and re-coat it, nothing major... So, till the next update!! :D
