Bandai HG 1/144 Slaughter Dagger from Gundam Seed Stargazer.
This is a revisit to this kit. The SD was the first kit I built when I started modelling last April, I'd posted a some pics of the original (headless) and of this kit & Duel Blu. This replacement kit has been sat in on the shelf, semi completed since May last year, and I thought it about time it was finished...
The kit as it was left in May 07. I hadn't even built the jet pack.
Here's the jet pack "Aile Striker" built & just primed
Using the few things I learned over the past 10 months, the finish is a lot more consistent then on the original build.
I didn't apply the weathering on the pack until after these pics were taken.
Shield primed...
Pre-shading applied to the panel lines
The old shield (left) and the new one. The pre-shade shows through and adds a touch of depth to the finish.
