OO nga pala baliktad yung covering nya sa waist (part C17)

Kaya pala parang may mali dun sa itsura nya eh, thanks for pointing that one out. Yeah, those pics were taken a few hours after everything had dried so it still looks rather... makintab. Funny thing is that the shinyness only appears on camera, in real life, everything looks just dull.

It's not handpainted but apparently i still need to improve my work using aerosols. I did use flat black for the dark pieces but it still appears shiny in places . Any suggestions for dampening down the shinyness?

And here's another example of a perfectly good waste of money...

That's the physical incarnation of the Auriga AC i used for last year's PACT II with a couple of alterations since there is no SATYROS and no U4 being made in plamo form, so i had to make do with a HYDRA and a U2. The original color scheme was off-white with gray trim but i decided to try out a white/silver scheme for this. The silver i intend to make shiny with some scratches once i get some more sandpaper but i plan to dirty up the white parts once i learn some proper weathering techniques.

I took some liberties with the forearms on the MACAQUE, instead of the silver pieces near the elbow facing inwards, i had them sticking outwards diagonally, simply because they looked more interesting that way. The really sucky part is that i couldn't get the shoulder pads to properly stick together even when i had gotten rid of some of the excess plastic inside. So that explains those horribly-obvious gaps, which i will devote some time to finally learning how to use putty to cover up seams and gaps.

Well, that's my installment for this week. Hopefully, i'll get to work on either the Deucalion or the Hecate after next payday.

Fox out.
