1/100 Gundam Double X  Discussions »
Another kit that I finished quite a while ago. Like the Astray Red, this is also something of an out of box build, but with many details added and very few modifications.

Satellite chest piece was painted with metallic paint and the yellow parts are painted gold to make them more noticeable. I chose to use white for panel lines on the black parts to bring out the panel lines, which I think are very well designed. The fists are painted silver on a whim, but now that I look at it again, I'm not sure if it was such a good idea. It probably would have looked better if it was just painted flat grey.

As for physical modifications, I increased the head articulation by, I think, simply gluing the detached neck to the top of the chest, so that the head is farther from the body. Another thing I did was that I used thin pieces of stickers cut out from the sticker sheet to make the main head camera and back head camera.

The kit itself is pretty great with decent detail and reasonable articulation. Balance issues are also minimized by the relatively thin backpack. All in all, I'm honestly quite happy with how this turned out.

Thanks for the encouragement. when I saw all the panel lines like this, I just can't let them go to waste by doing a traditional panel lining!
