RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam Head | Customize Weathering by Putra Shining

Welcome to Putaro Plastic Modeller! I present to you RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam Head! We (Izutaro) had dream to paint Gundam head for so long. Yeah we got one! This Gundam Head actually was given to us by this gentlemen/owner for customize and put up for sell. We got it sold and we got others Gunpla too that was sold and few more still in progress soon.

So, the Gundam Head was half assemble by the owner, and Izumeru finished it but lots of missing parts and parts falling off, so he just glued everything but leave the V fin, head, bust and stand/below parts detachable for easy storage. The rest painting part goes to me.

I have a really good time weathering this kit. I started with painting some details first, separation of colors, then I washed it with dark brown acrylic colour Put some water decals and paint the "Hi-V" on the side. Then do the weathering finishing and chipping with Citadel Paints and Gundam Marker. Finally finished by top coated with Samurai Spray Paint Clear Matte.

Honestly, I did not expect the results to be this good because the original plastic material and surface are really bad. But anyways it's fun weathering it, thank you to the gentlemen that thrust us Izutaro for this artwork. I'm glad that he handed it to us. For you guys that interested in hiring us Izutaro for any painting or weathering of any kind of toys, model kit, statue, sculpture just PM us on any our social media, thank you!
