The Zurad (MSP 04a)
Working On The Zurad Part 1
Hi everyone,
I have started working on the main robot. I decided to paint it in oils, because my airbrush is not suited for fine work. I had already painted the destoyed MG robot in the background with oils and it came out OK. So I decided to try it again.
I found that oils is also great to paint mecha, it grants you time to work on shadows and highlights organically. Also, since I do not have a lot of time to paint at the moment, I could leave it a few days to dry properly.
I primed everything by brush with Vallejo Ghost Grey Primer.
I gave the miniature a medium grey base in acrylic. I will build the oils on this.
The Zurad painted up in oils.
After letting the oils dry for severral days, I added some decals and panel lining.With that the Zurad is almost finished. The next step is to add some weathering. In the meantime I still have a few extra things to add to the base. I think I will be able to finish this project sometime before December – if all goes according to plan.
Until then stay safe and have fun.
NR.
