Deathscythe EW Torso


Got the torso completed for my MG Gundam Deathscythe EW kit. Tamiya spray paints arrived in the mail so I was able to test them out and get a couple batches of parts painted. I used TS-38 Gunmetal for the inner frame, TS-64 Dark Mica Blue and TS-26 Pure White for the armor, and TS-8 Italian Red and TS-34 Camel Yellow for the detail parts. Since these are all lacquer spray paints, I decided panel lining with acrylic paint and thinner would be safest on the paint job and easiest.


Not much to panel line on the torso, just the neck piece and the red cockpit part. Still haven't got the ratio of paint to thinner yet so it took a couple layers of the grey paint to stick. Simple cockpit hatch door:


Duo has no face!! Ahhhhh! ...Yeah, eyes were too small to paint.


Working on the arms and waist next. Have to wait until I get some glue to complete the legs as one of the inner frame bits is snapped (maybe it came that way? Probably not...)

So far liking the painted feel and look. Maybe I'll give it a gloss coat when it's done... Hmmm...

    Wow the black looks very solid... like the body is made out of die-cast! Props to you for painting Duo as well :). Looking forward to more!

    Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't sure if I would like the mica in the dark blue, but I think it turned out well since it only looks slightly metallic.

    Another update soon hopefully!

    That dark blue looks black. Are you gonna get the Deathscythe Hell Custom that comes out next month?

    Yeah it does look pretty black in photos, but in person it looks a little more blue (still pretty dark though, but that's how the plastic was too).

    I may end up getting it, definitely not right away though. They'd look good together for sure

    I used TS-64 Dark Mica Blue for the parts that look black, it came out pretty dark.
