Testing Gold!

I've been searching for a gold colour which is shiny and quite rich in yellow. However, the best I can find in shops so far is the aqueous hobby paint version which is still not what I'm looking for. Therefore, I decided to try using clear yellow as a coat, going over different types of gold paints and even silver to get the best result of a shiny gold. ^^
Here, I use my Burst Ryuubi as the guinea-pig. ^^

So here it is, the linings are still quite messy here though. Anyway, the overall look is pretty nice to me, however, the V-Fin looks too bright and it doesn't really fit the entire look of the colour scheme. ^^; Anyway, lets get to the details. =)

1) For the collar, I used the gold aqueous hobby color as a base coat and go over it with clear yellow. Pretty nice and is also close to what I'm searching for.

2) For the vents and the fancy designs around the body, shoulders and stuff, I used the gold from the Mr.Metal series and go over it with clear yellow. It's okay to me, but is not what I'm looking for.

3) The whole body is painted with the gold from the Mr.Metal series while the lines at the tip of the front skirts are painted using the gold from the aqueous series. The "V" on the waist is painted using Gundam Marker.

1) The swords are being painted using the same gold from Mr.Metal and being coated with clear yellow which gives off that same honey-mustard colour previously.

2) The gold for the fancy dragon designs on the swords are actually from Gundam Marker. ^^

1) The dragon on the forhead is being painted with the same old gold from Mr. Metal. A coat of clear yellow then goes over it.

2) The V-Fins are painted using silver from the aqueous line, a few coats of clear yellow then goes over it. Hmm.... looks more like metallic yellow to me.

3) The jewel, like the collar mentioned previously, is painted using the gold from the aqueous line and coated with clear yellow.

So yeah, that pretty much concludes this post. However, I had forgotten to test the gold from Mr. Color and the brass from the Mr. Metal line. Haha, I might try them out next time. Anyway, here's a preview for what's coming next!

SD Yue Jin rolls out!

Till the next post everyone!
