Hehe~! I noticed the sneaker thingy too. :3 The recently released Fei Yen Kit from Kotobukiya also has the cool sneakers design.
my update for today:
Finished painting and paneling the head unit. My procedure is a little bit more difficult to do because it requires precision cutting, attaching and re-attaching the masking tape that covers the detail. It was kinda fun though
Temjin's Rear head part. I just covered the entire back part, cut the details out and sprayed with Pylox silver...
...spray with red paint, let it dry, and then cut out the middle part.
In this phase of painting, I just put back all the little oval pieces of tape I cut out to cover the red parts (waiting for the paint to dry was a real test of patience LOL) then I paint the primed black parts with Misty Grey.
Same goes for the top part of the head unit.
The Visor. This was actually a little bit more complicated to cut because the parts I need to paint had no panel lines I could follow with my little cutter.
All the Head unit parts painted, unmasked, and paneled with Artline black.
Test assembly:
Looks pretty good. All I need to do is add the decals, but I'll do that after I finish painting all the parts. ^__^v
