This post shows some of the parts assembled together and is ready for detail painting and weathering. Yes, I will do the decal work last, after the detail painting and weathering I will seal this with a nice gloss coat of future and then decal it.
I won't detail paint this kit much though, just a few hints of red and some koto parts painting. I do not want it to look like a huge white Christmas tree with small glittery detail painting of greens, blues and reds. I mean, too much detail painting with so much colors is not my type.
Lastly, I just want to keep a few archive photos of this build before weathering... because after weathering this kit might look worse and not as good as how it looks right now. Actually, I could always just add decals and photoshop the photos and deemed it as finished, but I really want this one weathered.
I also decided against the camo pattern thingee, as I really like how my subtle shading turned out. I am afraid I do not have enough skills to add shading on the camo pattern and it might just ruin the shading of the white areas. Anyways here are a few photos of the build before weathering...
Samuel decals I got from Hobbies Corner last September, bought this set specifically for this build. :)
Thanks for dropping by! Til' next post! :)

Bro, let me throw some possible idea's your way and a few things to consider.
I did read your post on this, and feel that you should add some kinda color to break up all that white/ish tone's.
True to life winter camo has 2 or 3 white too gray color tone's and you can definately pull it off bro. There are a few ways you can do this: tamiya tape (stripe/digital) or silly putty/kids clay fashioned in serpentine designs. If it where mine I would use another trick (take a pieace of window screen or mesh cut into 3x3 squares and then mask it with tamiya tape , after that use a hobby knife and cut specific shapes into the tape. Once the cut outs are removed lightly AB over the desired parts, you should get a unique cross hatched design and if you repeat said step with another color you will get a pseudo digi effect.
Food for thought bro.
all the best "D" : )
Thanks Paul! :)
Thanks a ton for the tips Kriz, but I figured that time is not on my side already bro... I still have to paint the backpack, add details to the diorama, paint the 1/72 figures and weather the whole kit. Too much work that I have to finish in exactly a week. I started this project early but I still ended up rushing it for Bandai World Cup. :(
OH SH@T, Never Mind :)
Exactly, my speed painting is at a test starting today bro. hehehe :D
Good! When I saw your first pict, I thought it was GPO2's shield... XD
hehehehe.... thanks! :)
