HGUC Nu Gundam Part 2

The yellow fever
Was starting to panel-line the parts for the arm, ...


... when I realize that the little verniers on the forearms need to be painted in yellow.



OK, painted those parts then. Will be drawing a little dot inside them when the paint has dried to show its depth.

Then I remember the V sign in the waist needs the same treatment as well.


OK, painted that part too.

Then, I thought, "Might as well just do all other parts that need to be in yellow then?" So, just like having a slight fever which degrades into a more serious one, the whole night was spent on painting yellow onto various parts ^^


Fin Funnel - the foil stickers only cover the surface of the part, not the edge when it's folded, so the bottom area needs to be painted.


There are three sets of parts, with different design for each set. So it's better to label them properly before the work, in case you won't be able to recognize which one is for which set later on. ^^;


Painted.


Other parts to be painted: verniers for the legs (6), yellow claw part for the shoe (4, front and heel), thrusters for the rear and side skirt armors (8), interior of the main thrusters behind the legs (2) and backpack (4).


Painted, waiting for more layers to be applied.


Putting them inside paper box to dry for a day.
Color used is Gundam Marker Yellow for SEED Basic Set, and for those who are wondering, the color isn't exactly the same as instructed in the manual. The official color is of much darker tone. Since I don't have that color, I'm compensating with Gundam Marker instead. In my plan, the color would become a little darker when more layers of the same color is painted, but still not enough to become the same as the official color of course.

Also, the difference in color isn't going to be too hard to bear, as majority of the parts in yellow for the whole model is painted using the Gundam Marker now, and it has overtook the original darker yellow as the main color. ^^;

Might as well just think of it as having two shades of yellow on the same model now instead of trying to get one uniform color. ^^

The only concern I have is the bottom part of the Fin Funnel. The body of that section is of the darker yellow, while the painted parts are in lighter yellow. The combination of both colors for the single part is going to look quite funny I imagine ^^;
