Doing some test photos shot. I wasn’t thrilled with the previous photos. Taking photos at home can be challenging when the lighting isn’t right. The contrast between the dark and light areas of the model can also cause the autofocus and exposure settings to miscalculate.

Paint used: Main paint job with Tamiya acrylics. Panel wash with Testors enamel. Finish with Vallejo varnish. Other paint includes Alclad.

Finished building the Stormbringer FA on Twitch. Only 1 piece to install but needs to be clear glossed first. Overall the kit is completed and might need a minor clear matted spray.
Final phase. Been working on touchups, compounding and polishing small areas while applying controlled amount of matte clear coat. The process will take few days as I have to let the paint cure and repeat. Can take several layers.
Today working on decals. I spotted another area where I have to do a minor spot fix. Already applied the Apoxie sculpt and hopefully not too much problem to sand and repaint area.
Unexpected side effect with chrome vinyl. Apparently this particular one is fluorescent. Look cool how the yellow eyes turn glowing green under UV light.
I finally got a chance to evaluate the 3rd party 1-100 Hygogg kit. The parts almost looks identical to the Bandai 1/144 kit with the exception to the lower leg and shoulder armor. These 2 area have added panel lines. I might have to build this as the next project.
