I'm in the midst of re-doing my HGUC Gouf.
I call this mecha Project Gouf TEST TYPE.
I only had time to spray 2 parts of the armaments,
I would definitely need to get some 'Tamiya Mask Tape' in order to embark on the body.
Here is a preview.
1. The Sabre
In natural light without flash.
In natural light, compared to the chrome chain on my watch.
Multiple angles to capture the light.
2. The Shield
In low flash.
In natural light without flash.
Super Macro mode with flash.
3. More images compared to the raw Gouf.
Gouf with arms with flash.
Gouf with arms in natural light.
Gouf in natural light from a different perspective.
Conclusion:
The effect of the chrome looks satisfactory near to excellence. However the control of distance of spray is extremely important so as not to get blotchy finish.
The tone of metallic blue brings out a more natural look apart from the candy-tone base blue. This is definitely going to look good on the Gouf. However, it does not shine very much in natural light and requires a flash of high intensity light to bring out the reflective finish. But overall, the metallic texture of the spray looks more natural compared to using GSI Creos cobalt blue.
Masking is definitely necessary while spraying since I have already cemented the parts together and with some polycaps embedded within. Hence, getting the Tamiya Masking Tape is definitely necessary. Generic masking tape was used during the trial and appears to be too sticky and leaves sticky marks which need to be removed carefully. However, no paint was removed in the process.
time to zzzz....
I had to post this only at work. :p
