This is a pilot from my son's Gundam Astray Red model. He took one look at it and said "yeah, you can paint that one" and I'll build the Gundam. It's quite a small model, comparable to 1/144 scale or N-gauge (maybe?) if you're a railway nerd.
- Jacket. Violet Red, highlighted with Sunny Skintone and a touch of Greenish White.
- Metals. Dark Sea Blue and Greenish White. I gave the hand a wash of Akhelian Green just to differentiate it a little from the buckles and ankle bracelet.
- Hair. Ochre with Greenish White.
- Face. Sunny Skintone and a little Greenish White.
- Trousers. Violet Red with Black, then added Dark Sea Blue and Greenish White for the brighter areas.
Why yes, I do like Dark Sea Blue and Greenish White. Thanks for noticing.
Small fellow, isn't he! I don't usually do size comparison shots, but I felt it was required to explain why it's lacking in places. Quite a challenge to get any face detail painted in when it was lacking on the sculpt but I gave it a good go. Let's not discuss the lack of nose. Not much I can do with the hair other than some gentle shading then just accept it's a mass of yellow.
I found this reference image from a fan wiki, and checked it was the right pilot. Mission accomplished.
