HGBF Crossbone Gundam X1 Full Cloth Ver. GBFT WIP 3

and here goes the final WIP of my current project (yup it is the final one because i haven't posted for quite a while and has since completed this). The painting in this WIP was all done with the new airbrush that i got (after the first one died on me)

so this time round i was painting the red parts

and this time i was spraying on the gradient and i was really happy with it! Not the best but it did look decent enough!

There is a greater area with red as compared to in the crossbone gundam i used as a reference for this project but i still feel that this fits the overall look of the gundam better!

after this i painted the duralumin parts (sorry i didn't take photos) but they were for the joints and "inner frame" of the gundam

and this was how it looked like!!

aaand the next day i began on the weapons (which are still on the runners)

rant begins-REALLY BANDAI?! the color separation was awful for the weapons. the entire crossbow was of the same grey color throughout and the parts were all attached together, making it extremely extremely tough to mask. even the skull on the sword was attached to the sword itself already, and it really looked just so badddd-end of rant

but anyways i still went on with painting the weapons, sticking to the three main colors i used for the body.

 and again i made a gradient effect for the swords (red to yellow) and hell was i happy with it ^^ they turned out just as i wanted to, and frankly speaking i was afraid i would screw it up because i wasnt too used to the new airbrush yet.

here are some of the photos of the completed project!

thanks for viewing! :)
