MG 1/100 GN-XIII A-LAWS Type
Finished painting and building my latest Gunpla project (and something I've been looking forward to doing for about a decade or so), the GN-XIII!
I wanted to have it so that it looked as though it went through several battles without much in the way of external maintenance, so I opted to get the paint colours (once again, by Mr Hobby) for the base grey sections, and drybrush it onto the coloured and white portions to simulated edge wear and paint chipping. There were also some sections on the mechanical frame that I painted with silver and gold to break the monotony of the inner frame up
The bulk of the weathering of the white sections were done using Tamiya's Weathering Master Palette (in this case, Palette F including Titanium, Light Gunmetal, and Copper), where I used it to simulate the dirtying of the coloured sections. Copper was especially helpful in making a GN Tau particle burn-in effect on the GN Drive cover and anywhere with GN Particle output (thrusters, weapon barrels).
After the weathering and decal placements (including several from a UC:0087 decal sheet since I wanted to customise the decal layout a little bit) were done, everything was sealed with Mr Hobby Smooth and Clear Matte topcoat and it's done!
