Good choice in the skin Zak! Not painting the skin sections on this kit is a very great idea. I think the bare plastic actually gives off the right amount of subsurface scattering and makes it more "alive".
This came out super nice man. Love the contrast between the satin finish and the high gloss of the plastic. Going to have to get some of that Mr Crystal Color stuff. I'm hoping we get a Rei kit soon so I can paint up her plugsuit to look like a Zeon Pilot suit.
I like the color change was going to pick her up to something similar but i was going to go with a light grey hair like Laura from Infinite Stratos. Great work on the contrast with the gloss and the matte.
Great paint job! Would you mind breaking down the process for painting the black part of the suit? Primer > base, etc.. I want to try this on a Gunpla I am planning. Thanks!
I really like the small shading on the face, that was my main gripe with the base kit. That was just some Mr Color Lascivus then? Awesome, I can get some of that.
@@ZakuAurelius ah, got it. The shoulders and the front/side stripes look much darker than the back stripe, but it’s probably just the angle and lighting.
the contrast between gloss and matte parts is pretty cool
I really like the subtle purple glow through the black.
Looks so much better with your colors.
I like the "Warning: Stand Clear" decal on her chest, lol. Very funny.
That has got to be one of the best Asuka figure's i have seen.!
I like the decals. It makes it look more realistic and adds more dimension to the figure.
I understand that thing you were trying to say about the markings being too small, but i think it honestly looks fine for the size
Contrast on the finishes is so effective.

This is so so cool love the combination of colors.
It’s a killer paint job.
Oh man. I'm always blown away by how good you make matte finish look. Good job man. And thanks for sharing this to us.
Really well done I love the decal work!
Damn, the matte black turned out amazing. Thanks for sharing the colors you used!
Can't wait to see that lania kraken dress review

way better then the orignal version of the figure imo. nice work
looks good honestly seeing yours makes me want to get one
Love how you gave the face all that life! I'll need to do something similar myself when I get around to building this kit
she looks like she joined the X-Men.
Like the new colour scheme. 👍
That's a crisp color scheme
Ya this is pretty sick bro, well done.
Looks fantastic
Came out nice, will have to keep the idea of using the Mr. Color Crystal colors under a matt coat for future use.
Man the face looks great

Very nice dude. Think did good job.
Thanks!

I like the new color
Your version of yellow and black looks better, I reckon
Reminds me of the Gantz suits
It remind me of the death stranding
Are the orange parts of the suit left as-is?
Yep!
I mean look at Yoji Shinkawa's character designs, the decals make sense
hum hum...... mistral
@@kratek56 EVERYONE IN THAT GAME HOLY SHIT. I was specifically thinking about sneaking suits but yeah revengance is right there with it
love it
Not the Gantz suit colors but I like it.
Decal size seems fine to me.
What decals did you use on this kit ? They look so good on her i want to do the same.
Why aren't there more MG style kits of anime characters, preferably with full articulation? Or, hell, PG level kits?
cool
Can you show how to paint the skin ?
The skin in this case wasn’t painted, only shaded with Mr.Hobby Lascivious paint
God can I send you mine to paint it????!!!
looks realy good, but the face realy is a bit too red. but I know how hard it is to get skin colors right
Is the silver stripe at the back intentionally missing the black in-fill?
There are two types of that strap detail part. The ones around the waist and shoulder are different and don’t have black filling, just some panel wash
@@ZakuAurelius ah, got it. The shoulders and the front/side stripes look much darker than the back stripe, but it’s probably just the angle and lighting.
@@ZakuAurelius by the way, will you get another one with the clear suit removed? Would love to see a review of that.
Painting skins is the bane of mine. I can detail tanks and plane no problem but skin tone? Damn that's hard
May I buy this figure off you? This exact one? I lack the talent so I wish you buy the talent instead 😂
Already sold!
worse thing about LABOs is the limited availability.
Wow lemme pay you to do this for me lol
doing the right skin tone is like trying to apply makeup on an actual person, lol.
lol caution signs
:3
That microphone looks so out of place... seems simple enough to put it together without that.
I hope they make a rei version
