Finally, after almost 6 months of intermittent assembly and paint job, i completed my beloved Sinanju kit. Lusting after the Titanium version that Bandai released, i tried my best to give this normal kit the paint job that would, hopefully, come close if not fully resemble, the titanium finish version. I did not add the decals, as i am not really fond of them. For me it feels like betraying the paint job -my own opinion. to each its own...
Ultimately, i would say i am only about 80-85% satisfied with the work. Owning to the fact that at some time, my laziness kicked in so i believe i could have done a better job. The gold parts are hand painted, which came as a surprise for me for i am satisfied with it, considering how trembly my hands are nowadays.
As for the paints used, the majority of colors, e.i silver, clear red and orange were Tamiya Acrylics, weapons and underside Light + Gun Metal also from Tamiya, but the gold lines were this Lascaux Acrylic paint i came upon the art shop in the area. It was perfect for my fine brush as Tamiya acrylics are too runny for brush use. The gold rings, which i used to substitute the hrrible plastic ones provided with the kit, i accidentally found in this Hobby store in Singapore during my stopover gundam shopping spree last week.
And so, finally, here are the pics of the finished Sinanju:
Now moving on to Kshatriya and Qubeley... :)
