When i first started building i bought a hg 1/144 providence because i really liked the design of the suit. then i became even more interested in legend because i started really watching destiny so i decided to pick up the HG 1/144 that was at robogato a few months back and try my hand at brush painting a kit. i wasnt really looking to try to hard i just wanted to clip, prime and start dry brushing just to get an idea of what it might take to really hand detail a kit. enough rambling about painting here is what came in the HG 1/144 Legend's box....
Box top cover is an awesome space shot of legend
Instruction manual with some nice example pics and a few scene shots.
He was only two bags but looking in the instuction manual real quick he looks pretty detailed and packing everything and the kitchen sink so two bags may be a bit deceiving.
two pics of the wip on legend. base coated all black and dry brushed with citadel acrylics. three different blues on the armor plates and an a bit of white for highlite lines. the eyes were fun. two shades of green and a tiny but of white around the outside edges. seeing as how quickly i did this its basically a rough draft of things to come.....
he's a bit dusty seeing as i havent worked on him in three weeks. I didnt even bother really cleaning him up to well after clipping him out. i was really eager to just get a visual idea of what it would look like dry brush painting a kit so it was pretty rushed. i would say this was all done in two fourty five minutes sessions and one two hour session where i didnt paint....i was walking rodney through hand painting some stuff most of the time.
the eyes were really fun. i liked trying to match the green of the stickers but make it a little more unique. in person you can see the glare from the points of the left sides of the eyes.
finished pics soon!!
KEEP BUILDING!!!
