Hello everyone, figured i've never shared one of my favourite models here on the RPF, this came as a christmas gift and got me occupied during the holydays. It's a fantastic kit, probably one of the best from Bandai in their line of action figures.

Some glamorous shots:

I repainted almost every piece of armor with Molotow liquid chrome since the kit plastic was pretty dull, i also repainted almost every piece of soft armor except for the base brown undersuit, since it was already pretty ok. I added weathering using oils on some selected spots, to give that nice grime effect without overdoing it.
The legs were a lot of fun, didn't realized just how many different shades and colors went into the shins and armor pieces.

Molotow liquid chrome looks amazing even at such tiny scale, you just need to be really carefull with the drying times. I've got some messy spots here and there, but hey, that's just free weathering.

I decided to just go with the pistol and the spear, but they give you both the darksaber and the big rifle in the kit.

Overall a super fun quick project, Bandai details are insane as usual and the kit goes on like a dream. Very reccomended.
Feel free to ask any questions.

Cheers.

Super-impressive detailing! Their character model kits seem hit and miss but looks like they did a great job with this one!

Great work!

Excellent work.
I picked up a Molotow pen and was very impressed with the paint, but chickened out using it out of fear it may never dry correctly.
Did you airbrush the paint?

Again, great job.
