1/144 Slaughter Dagger

[Mr B]

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.

Fascinating to read as always, looking good.

Now that rocks, would love to build an unpainted gundam and do all the artwork for it, but my painting skills suck and I don't have the patience, although I would love to design some special gundam armour though

 

[Kurogane]

That's some real talent you have there, mayn.

Always love the threads, keep them going. :wink:

 

[Outlawstar]

Looks class.
I love these threads too.

Looks cool, looking forward to seeing the finished model.
