The Paint Work Continues
Continuation of painting works from the previous post. The first painting work is the gold color for the sheath and the hand guard of the katana.
Tried the Replenishing Agent for the Red Gold although stated on the bottle that it is not to be used for Aqueous and Mr.Metallic paint.

HG Kamiki Burning Gundam - WIP 3
Here I come to save the day!
Started with painting works for the feet in the last post. With what happened, I made sure to check the paint before use and had the correct thinner at hand.

HG Kamiki Burning Gundam - WIP 2
A Bad Start For The Build
After separating the parts in previous post, proceeded with nub marks removal which took longer than expected. After that has been done started with brush painting process with the white part. After looking through my paint collection from 8 years ago, this is the only white paint I got in my collection

HG Kamiki Burning Gundam - WIP 1
Gotta Love The Burn
With the work all done for the RG Zephyranthes, I have decided to take a break from RG and start a HG kit. The last HG kit was the HG Red Frame (Flight Unit) completed ten years ago. The reason I bought this kit was cause it comes with a katana and I am a sucker for anything with a katana.
Why did I decide to start with this kit? I needed an easy kit to start off and try my hands on brush painting. The most I have brush painted are small details (which I have forgotten how I did it 8 years ago) and this time round I want to try to brush paint an entire model kit. I have some SD in the backlog as well but had an itch to start this as well cause I am curious about the effect pieces.
