After assembling the Epyon model, it didn’t look complete. Typically Gundam models are finished by inking in parting lines and adding decals. After I proceeded with that step, it still didn’t look complete.
I stumbled upon some youtube tutorials on weathering Gundam models. I tried some of those techniques on smaller parts and was very satisfied. I moved onto bigger parts, and then spent a few hours drybrushing to get the effect that I wanted. I wanted to indicate maroon and dark grey paint being worn out from use.
I was very satisfied with the results. This motivated me to work on another model.
