Part III of this build can be seen here. Decided to try out the Faber Castell Colored pencils I bought. This was to color the red parts in the shoulders of the VF-25G.
Originally I had used the stickers that came along with the kit, but after a few days the stickers popped out. I was thinking of using the decals this time but became hesitant after I noticed the size. I remembered that I had a hell of time putting the stickers in.
The pencils stuck well to the surface of the kit because of the flat finish. I thought it had a good covering of the surface area. I noticed however after I took this shot that the pencils were in fact applied grainy (is there such a word) on the surface... good camera! *snicker*
Oh well, this is good enough for me. I have to get a finer enough sharpener though in order to get the pencil tip to access the smallest recesses. But then again, I really am asking too much already of this pencil considering how small the kit really is.
Here's some shots of the colored pencil colored area with a top coat of Bosny clear flat already applied to it. In real life it looks a lighter shade than its original red color. Can't seem to understand why it came out the same way as if no flat coat was applied.
Final part of this build can be found here.
