Completed Candy Toy Goukaioh

Finished my work on the Candy Toy Goukaioh. In total, it took me about a week to finish this bad boy. Overall, despite the hurdles that was thrown on me, I felt as though I did a decent job. A friend of mine bought a box from AmiAmi, and we ended up splitting a box together.

Once again, here's the paint line up:
Citadel Colours:
Skull White
Sunburst Yellow
Mithril Silver
Sunburst Yellow
Snot Green
Hard Coat

Tamiya:
Blue
Red

Gundam Marker:
Black
SD Gundam Lame Peral Silver
SD Gundam Lame Peral Orange

WIP 3: Candy Toy Gokaioh

So here we have box 5, Goukai Pink's mecha the GoukaiSubmarine finished. I'd show photos of the submarine mode but I had a very unfortunate accident...somehow the foot ended up snapping in two places and I have no idea how it happened...but I suspect it happened when I tried to close the submarine up. I fixed it using Tamiya model cement.

The paint line up is the same as before with the addition of Games Work Shop Skull White and Chain-mail.

WIP 2: Candy Toy Goukaioh

Finished the GoukaiGalleon today. Once I figured out the type of paint I was going to use and how I was going to paint it, the rest of the model kit came easy. One thing I dislike about minipla candy toys is the fact that if anything happens to the stickers...then you're out of luck. I wish bandai would either give you a spare set or sculpt the detail actually into the plastic...but I realize that will raise the cost of these little model kits *Sigh*

The pain I used was a combination of Gundam Marker and Tamiya Arcylics

I use Tamiya Red
Gundam Marker Black
and a set of Metalic SD Gundam SanGokuden markers...both gold and silver.

I found that Gundam markers can be a bit hard to work with, especially if you're going over wide surfaces. I'll still use the markers however for tiny hard to reach spots...I'll need to go out and buy some paint that I don't have yet, but I may start on Goukai Submarine or Racer next.

WIP: Candy Toy Goukaioh-Goukai Galleon

Long time no update....I figured I'd use this chance to do a Work in progress report of the Candy Toy Goukaioh that I got yesterday...progress has been a bit slow due to...complications in the painting, and a busy weekend. Originally, I was going to use all Gundam Markers, but found them a bit frustrating to work with, so I went ahead and switched to good ol hand painting, and in the process deciding to cover up the Gundam Marker paint with the Tamiya arcrylics. The pieces are a bit messy right now as you can do doubt tell, so I'll be going back and doing some touch up work after taking a bit of a break from working on this.
