Gun pod. The usual process, applied Tamiya cement first, combine the parts. Let it dry for about 3 minutes, sand, paint (Nato Black), applied Mr. Mark Setter, added water slide decals. Then wipe the excess with dry cotton buds.

I didn't bother to remove the gaps /seam lines. Di naman kasi siya makikita sa final assembly. (Palusot. haha!)

Recycle the materials. Mahal ang mga gamit. hehe. You can see the excess Black paint caused by the lack of masking tape in the previous photos.

Good, clean work, man. No clearcoat before doing the panel lines and decals? And how're you gonna handle the panel lines, wash or pen?

Thanks!

Gloss coat -> Panel line -> Decals -> Weathering -> Flat Coat. I'll be using the enamel wash method. Too much panel lines. Chair

That compound brings back some memories(2006-2007 iirc). Would love to try it one day...

Update, Panel Lining: Enamel wash method

So alam niyo na yan. hehe. Basic mix of X-1 Black and X-20 Enamel paint thinner.

Wipe the excess with a cotton bud dipped with enamel paint thinner. (Just a small amount)

No painting to be accomplished anytime soon since me and Serene are still discussing the mods to be done, to make it resemble the TV version more closely.
