Gundam Review: SD Tenshiho Shibai Sazabi

[avenger451]

what did u use to paint the gold?

[oblark]

wow some panel lines and that would really pop

[HeroPrinnyDood]

that's what it looks like without paint? what a bunch of bullshit. "dont need to paint" my ass. these kits are pieces of shit

[trewerd]

What's the name of that silver you used for the chest piece?

[bismarck0910]

OMG you r an amazing detail painter

[avenger451]

wat gold did u use? i want to paint my SD sangokuden kits with this gold

[Eucep]

I got this kit, but it's awesome to see it painted up.

[DeathGod408]

what type of paints do you use?

[navigatorhat]

Very very nice. Thanks for the before and after paint-job.

Speaking of which, the paintjob is spot on gorgeous.

[BentheBassPhish]

Oh man... That's a seriously gorgeous paint job there! Nice work :D I need to get some SD's and work on my paint skills.

[crapmunky99]

Holy crap...

That's the best looking SD kit I've ever seen. Your paint job is amazing!

Nightingale FTW!

[MacA60230]

Just great.

[dialga1122]

plz get the MG Red frame likme ME!

[BMSilverFish]

brilliant paint job

[braigus09]

holy crap the colors are amazing! I'm awed.

[cocorain123]

Great review by my favorite reviewer haha, great job as always.

[itachi0314]

You did a really good paint job! :)

[necrolich666]

Did you paint this all by hand?

You do a hell of a good job :O

tell me your secrets!

[Slade951]

Is the Nightingale mode back heavy or just my imagination?

[dominichelton]

...its so beutiful... i would die for it

[godurjo]

Love all the models and paintjobs you do but i only have one thing that bothers me can you plz say sazabi right go watch chars counter attack your killing the name.

[tc012009]

In my honest opinion this is some of the finest work you have produced. This is a simply stunning paint job and does huge credit to bandai excellent kit.

After seeing this I can't wait for mine to arrive in the mail. Now if only Bandai would give us a real Nightingale (I'd be happy with a HG but would love a MG) this year.

Fantastic work SIr :)

[narutoman876]

any progress on your EVA-05 model kit?

[chetario]

You should get another one of these: so you can turn the Shibai Nightingale to the Nightingale.

[smpleleo]

are you planning on gettin another one and make it look like the real nightingale?

[vegeta8259]

meh... converting Shiabai Sazabi to normal Sazabi was relatively easy, but to convert this kit to a normal nightengale would be much more difficult...

[smpleleo]

lol yeah i know

but would it be worth it?

[cabellism]

dammmmmmmm, now that is one hell of a paint job

[Tigerr4Ruler]

Damn that Sir is one phantastic paintjob, how long did it take you and how many colors did you use? Before and after can hardly be compared.^^

[vegeta8259]

it took me two days to finish. Building and spraypainting one day and all the handbrushing on the 2nd day. I think I used 8 colors: gold, silver, black, dark red, bright red, clear green, gunmetal, and neon green

[Tigerr4Ruler]

Thank you very much for the quick answer, lol kinda neat that almost the colors cost more than the model itself. ;)

[zversus]

oh my GAWD that is some awesome painting 0_0... what topcoat/clear coat do you use for these kits??

[vegeta8259]

I actually didnt bother using a top coat for this one... but if I did, it would be Krylon Clear in either Flat , Gloss, or Semi-Gloss

[zversus]

right... then the gold is a rustoleum gold? with probably tamiya clear yellow...?

[vegeta8259]

Rustoleum Gold on the parts that were that frosty gold color. the rest of the gold trim I handbrushed with some Testors Gold and then all of it was given a 2nd coat of Mr Color clear yellow.

[jabman025]

like johnxtech said, what kind of gold paint is that?

I got a MG Red Astray on the way that is going to need an upgrade on the gold parts.

[vegeta8259]

it the same process I used on my PG Astray Gold Frame: Gold paint with clear yellow on top

[johnxtech]

yo vegeta what kind of yellow/gold paint is that? the gold gundam marker of mine isnt doin justice on my 1/100 gold frame D:.

[vegeta8259]

it the same process I used on my PG Astray Gold Frame: Gold paint with clear yellow on top

[2Old4Toys]

Did you get the after market resin hands available at Sam's Decals? I got a set and they are great. I highly recommend them.

[vegeta8259]

I did :) I've used them on my SD Sazabi

[meadeslemicah]

Great review. Been wanting to see a review of this and hopefully the SD unicorn. ^_^

[blakesblack]

looks really cool

[NeuesZiel]

I guess painting is a must for this one. Great review and awesome paintjob!

[TFanbr0s]

AWSOME do you have a 1/144 scale HG exia? if you do may you please review it?

[vegeta8259]

sorry, I don't have any 1/144s from Gundam 00...

[vegeta8259]

(oops) except for 0 Gundam....
