HG Exia

Finished building and taking pics of HG Exia weeks ago. Been really busy the past few days.

I didn't get the 1/100 model, still waiting and hoping for an MG release.

I was supposed to color the chest orb with a green pen, but I think I gave it away already. I didn't want to use the foil sticker so I looked for a better alternative. I saw this shiny green sponge in the kitchen cabinet, then I decided to use it inside the clear chest plastic.

Then, I painted the shield. I ditched the white sticker, didn't really settle well on top of the blue shield.

Inking some parts and application of top coat were done for the finishing touches.

I hand-painted the cheeks yellow, and inked the face plate with black pen.

This kit has very good quality. A few details were missing as expected, but still a good kit that can also do a lot of poses.

I also used the green sponge inside the leg parts.

I wonder if the Double 0 HG is as good, or even better =)

Love your sponge idea! it certainly adds more realism and depth to the orbs than paint. ^^ Great job on the model!
