Painting the GSB FA Gundam RX781 with Vallejo Mecha Colors Part 1

This post is part of the Painting the GSB FA Gundam RX781 with Vallejo Mecha Colors Part 1 at my Youtube channel. 

The first part ( zenithal priming ) of this blog article is HERE. 

I painted the green base color by mixing Vallejo Mecha Color Olive Green and Mecha Color Yellow. 

I wanted to make this base color really bright and vibrant. The Sand primer highlights in the previous post worked like a charm! I want a 200ml Mecha Sand Primer from now on. 

I always thin my primer and paints with Vallejo ab thinner and flow improver. Ratios or how I miss them is better explained in my videos. 

I also gave this base color some highlights of Olive Green mixed with Sand Primer. I added a couple of drops of Off White. I was not happy with the result. Thus I painted a thin coat of yellow to bring back the vibrance of the whole kit. 

The highlighting is a simulation of having a light source at the upper right side of the kit. The underparts of the kit ( like the legs ) are actually still "blackish green". This lighting technique gives this fixed pose resin kit more depth and action. 

Anyways, my apologies for not taking enough photos, as I was focused on the recording of the videos while painting. 

Do check out my video of this painting at my Youtube channel for more info and tips. 

Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next update guys! Just enjoy the hobby! 

Cheers!
