Neglected Gundam

This week. I'm am deep into choosing the main colors for the Kyrios. I wanted to keep it simple. Instead of mixing up a lot of custom colors. I chose colors straight from the bottles. This meant that I lined up all the similar colors and chose the one that worked best for the kit. Kaleido has a lot of yellows for example. I lined them all up and chose the one that worked for me.

One custom color was made however. I mixed up the metallic orange. 75% Lustrous Orange & 25% Magma Orange. Either one by itself was either too yellow or too red. So I had to mix it up a bit.

I made one artistic change from my original plan. Originally I planed to make the orange pieces Candy Orange. However, I changed it to a metallic orange. While practicing the candy effect on some spoons I found out that it was coming out as a brown orange candy effect. I wanted a brighter orange, more yellow and red. So I broke out the auto colors and got to work. I think this finalized choice will suit my overall goal for this project. RIP CANDY PAINTJOB

Lastly. On some of the white pieces. You can notice a subtle orange poking through. I masked some details off and sprayed a matt orange on them. Then I went over it with a matt white. I like this effect and can't wait to see it on the finalized build.

Good luck out there with your builds and have some fun.
