When I was doing the MK-II Gundam this is the one thing that really troubled me… how the hell do I paint the eyes on the gundam. I’ve googled it and go through forum and search specifically on how to paint the the eyes. Alas, I never did find out the techniques…. until just now.
I was randomly searching MK-II trying to find out the full model name of the kit and stumbled upon the site. These are his steps taken to paint a Gundam eyes:
1. Paint the clear plastic with a coat of black.
2. Air brush a layer of white on the eyes.
3. Use tamiya clear green (or clear yellow or clear blue) on the white base you paint in step 2.
What you’ll get is eyes with kinda glowing effect on it. I’ve yet to test the method. I’ll give it a shot for my upcoming IWSP MG gundam. I”ll post the result when I come to it.
For the MK-II however, I did not paint the eyes. I just stick the sticker (god forbid) supplied with the kit and spray painted a few coats of clear to make sure that it doesn’t peel off. I was a bit surprised at how good it looked.
This is where I Found the post. Gamerabaenre. The site also provide tutorial and tips on how to airbrush your precious Gundam Kit.
