Interesting that you switched the red and blue on the kit. Not what I'd do, but nice. I love that you substituted gold for the yellow. Paint job's really nice. I'm working on painting my first SD kit; it's the 00 Seven Sword; any suggestions on what gloss coat to use? I usually leave everything flat, but I feel it would work well with either a clear gloss, clear metallic or clear candy coat.
@gunplanut There were quite a few compromises I had to apply to the paint scheme as everything from start to finish had to be completed within 24hours for this group build this was part of.
I think clear gloss is the way to go, if you don't like the finish you can always give it a clear Matt coat. Good luck with the SD kit, there awesome little model.
@tc012009 Didn't look to me like you compromised on anything to me. I'm leaning towards the metallic, but may try both out on spare pieces before deciding. Weather sucks today so I'll have to wait luckily I got the blue and white basecoats down yesterday on all the parts.
@meadeslemicah Thansk meads, I really enjoyed working on this one. Thanks for participating in the 24hr GB, its was a lot trickier than I had expected, but loads more fun!
@REBOOTYOURSELF100 :D thanks for the great feedback. The paintscheme unfortunately isn't entirely prefect, and there are a few flaws with the finish in places, but given the timeframe to paint it I was really happy with the results.
LOL, now onto my next kit, the Noblesse Oblige, its gonna take a few weeks to get this one ready!
@Wizartar Thanks Wizartar, the 24hr group build was a lot of fun to participate in. The timeframe was fiendish for a fully painted model, but the challenge was half the fun. We're gonna have to get you to try a SD kit for the next one Sir!!!!
LOL :D , get the cool, get the cool shoe shine :P !!
@zversus The white, blue, red and gold colors are spray painted, as are the wing thinks on either side of the head (Humbrol aluminium). Everything eles is by hand with citadel mithril silver, boltgun etc.
There were a lot of compromises involved in getting this completed in 24hrs, I think it will be interesting to try the model again with no time limit and see how it turns out.
Looks good but I agree about the eyes they don't look right grey you could always throw the eye sticker on or paint them differently..Or you can do nothing its your SD model..LOL
@Dredhawk10 I don't plan to return to this model as it was all done in a 24hr time frame, I do however hope to pick up another SD Wing kit and try out a different scheme, its a brilliant little model. The 24hr group build was a load of fun, but when you factor in have to wait for paint to dry, the deadline becomes very tight. We're going to run another 24hr build challenge in a few months, SD Sinanju is being lined up!
@ryukun101101 Thanks for the feedback on the model, I used Mithril Silver on the eyes in the hope that the contrast between the dark blue would work. I think if I had more time I would have tried to mask them off and tried some chrome silver to brighten them up abit. Hope you liked the rest of the scheme, I plan to try another one of these kits again in the near future.

Also, great paintjob! however I think the eyes being gray is a bit dull, but I wouldn't know what other color you could've made em.
