SD Blaze Zaku Phantom - WIP 3

Put your right foot in, put your left foot in...
 
Mentioned in the previous post, the shields were being painted Orchid color instead of pink. To be honest, they are not the only one with the Orchid color. There are parts of both the left and right legs which requires the same color.
 
Can you spot the part which has the Orchid color?

I have also colored the pipe yellow. From what I can see from the photos in the manual and on the box, the pipe will be covered by the waist unit. Better to be safe than sorry.
 
Completed right side of the leg
 
The repeat the same process as the right leg and you will now end up with both legs ready to be connected to the waist.
 
 
 
Now that the legs are done, the only parts left are the arms, weapons, head and backpack. We will have a look at the weapons first before going to the arms and backpack. As usual, the head will be the last part of the process.

This little fella has quite a number of weapons and accessories. For starters, he has 2 heat hawks, 2 shields and a gun. To add to those weapons, he has a backpack full of missiles. The work done to the heat hawks are simple. Just paint the blade with a combination of 2 different colors, add a bit of silver here and there to highlight the screws, let the paint dry and top coat.


The gun is also another straight forward build and requires minor painting. The only paint job I did was color the front white. Other than that is panel lining and top coating.

 

In the beginning of this post, it was mentioned that the shield was painted in a different color. Now is the time to see how the color looks like on both shields.

 Front and back of the shields.

Next post will be concentrating on the hands then followed by the backpack which will require the most paint job.
