After 4 months of working on it, I finally finished my Axis Osiris tonight! I haven’t gotten a proper “photo shoot” yet, just a few pics on my balcony in the evening sun.
Will be taking better pics soon!
PS- I Love how the hangar base looks on this kit!
Hey friends! I’m not the “world’s best” when it comes to weathering my builds. Typically, I’ll just hit the whole kit with a “Steel” dry brush, which as you know will define the edges and raised areas.
I’m currently working on Axis Osiris, almost done with decals and top coats. I’m sort of wanting to weather it some, but I tried my dry brush method on the waist, and I’m not too “sold” on the results.
Thinking of experimenting with sponge chipping, but what colors should I use? This is a space-based unit, so there shouldn’t be any rust, so a mahogany/hull red chipping is “out”… I used Steel for the waist, and it didn’t really look too good either…
Normally I build strictly Gunpla/mecha. I recently picked up this Bandai “Grogu” kit, so it’s my first time with an “organic” subject.
The plastic is a garish bright lime green. I am using mostly Kaleido paints (LOVE these!!!) and grey primer, using my Seeker airbrush.
Base color is OD Green
Shadowing is Dark OD Green
(Brown is Vallejo Mahogany Brown)
Still a work in progress, but I’m liking this so far!
Hover Pram is black primer, Phantom Grey, White Armor. Used Vallejo liquid mask for chipping (first time trying this technique)
