Bandai 1/60 No-Grade Big Scale Real Detail Strike Gundam
This is a fully painted and weathered build of Bandai's 1/60 Strike Gundam (no-grade).
The model has been hand-crafted over 100 hours using many techniques and products to have a used, battle-hardened and weathered look. The model retains all of its poseability with working joints at the ankles, knees, hips, waist, elbows, wrists, fingers, shoulders and neck. I have filled seams in the head, legs and rifle. and fully painted and weathered the model with an array of products including acrylics, lacquers, enamels, oils, pastels, graphite and pigments. Extra decals have been added to the existing kit markings for extra detail and realism, and to add a hint of that Ver. Ka feel.
The inner frame parts were painted using Mr. Hobby Mr. Metal Color lacquers to get a nice shiny (but not clean) metallic sheen that contrasts with the matt armour. It no longer looks like a toy but a used, roughed-up vehicle of war.
This model is currently for sale. The complete video build series can be watched right here.
