MG OO Gundam Seven Sword /G - WIP 3

Lighter fluid to the rescue

Continue the progress from the previous posting, the right side of the leg inner frame with panel lining was completed. The usual silver and gold was painted for the piston part on the knee as the details can be seen when the knee is bent.


Painted and panel lined the leg armor but when I used Mr. Thinner to remove the enamel panel line, it took off my lacquer base paint too. Was hoping it could just remove the panel lines but I guess the thinner was too strong. Did a few searches online and found another method to remove the enamel without harming the lacquer. Tried it on another part of the armour and it works. The downside is I have to hunting for it. The solution I used to remove the enamel panel line is the Zippo lighter fluid.

That's all the update for this kit for now. Next post will be about the left leg. Might have to either stop this build and start the HG Red Frame (Flight Unit) for the group build that is going on in SGGS. Another option is to build both kits together. Any suggestion?
