today i me intro a kit from MCmodel the ANAKKUSMOS.

IMG_5390

This is the first kit from MCmodel that is original design and the second kit from MCmodel that i have. if you never touch MCmodel kit before, the plastic quality so far is good like some thing you might get from bandai quality.

 

The Kit come with 17 runner and 1 polyethylene runner and among the 17 runner 1 of the runner is for the stand for this kit which come in clear transparent color. beside from that it also come with 1 plastic effect for the huge sword which remind me of blue frame and also 1 small foil sticker for the eye, body and the leg and another water transfer decal for the spiral effect on the armor.

 

 

The Head.

The head you might notice i panel line it too thick but that i did it intentionally as i want to try some thing which i never try before pre-shading.

 

Here is what it look like after finish assemble the head.

so far i found this kit manual a bit confusing on the head part but in the end i sort it out.

 

The Body

The chest part can be open to display the orb(if you are a TF fan then you might say it is the matrix like that)

this also remind me of heavy arm from gundam wing. you might also notice the sticker below the core there, that is not the foil sticker that come with this kit. i change the foil sticker with a luminous sticker so when it is dark this will happen.

the body and the head in place.

The arm part is next so do stay tune for that in the next part.

plane runway

the idea come to me when i was walking around in 1 of the local shop here name WW Mart at the art section. they sell the art stuff at a good price also.

 

The paint, they sell at a price of $2.90BND per tube

The canvas is depending of the size. The 1 i grab is approx 40 X 30CM for $2.90BND each.

The plastic artist spatula set is $1.80BND per set. but they also got the metal set for $4.90 if not mistaken.

First thing first, I was never an art student nor do i have the experience with canvas painting so if you are a pro artist please forgive me for my bad painting lol.

 

So after finish painting it , this is what it look like.

Here is what it look like with a 1/72 scale plane model.

IMG_5360 IMG_5357 

 

After that i adding a bit of this Luminance sticker on the side.

Here is what it look like in low light.

now After thinking about it i can make a road diorama next time with the same method just need to put a street lamp and a rail guard on the road side but that idea is for some other time.

 

-E-

The step will be the same like the blue powder just that this time i m using the red powder.

IMG_5353

 

same like last time we need to base coat the part (in this case it is the spoon) with a red base coat.

IMG_5351

once again i m making 2 for comparing with and without the powder.

 

After giving a gloss coat on the left spoon and the pearl powder coat on the right.

IMG_5352

For some reason the spoon with the pearl powder look a bit pinkish when see in real live but so far it look ok in this picture.

 

-E-

This time i will be using this powder for the experiment.

IMG_5349

 

to use the powder you need to mix it with a clear paint and also thinner to thin down the mixture so you can spray it using a airbrush.

 

next i spray the spoon with a blue as the base color.

IMG_5347

if you just spray at white color you will get a white color with a blue light reflection but due to my camera cant take that blue reflection so i did not post it up here. Also the reason i spray 2 spoon for this experiment is to show how it look like with and with out the pearl powder.

 

This is how it look like after gloss coat (left) and gloss + pearl coat (Right)

IMG_5348

The left spoon i just give it a gloss coat with out the pearl powder on it while on the right i use the gloss + the pearl blue powder which give it a nice smooth look.

 

Conclusion for me is that i still love both color finish but the right spoon color will be on my list for the kit i going to build after all the experiment is done.
