Here are some progress pics after days of experimenting with black panel wash and painting of chrome silver and gold on the various hydraulic pistons of this beautiful kit.
I must say the hand wasn't well designed. Although the individual digits mimics the human hand, they tend to become loose and fall off if you move them. I decided to use a heated flat head screwdriver to melt the protruding joints so that they form permanent rivet joints. I didn't do a good job with the left hand digits though.
Here's a pic of the left hand after painting and dry brushing with silver.
And here is a pic of the leg portion. Ya, ya, I know most of the details will be hidden after I fix the armour pieces, but heck, I know they are there ;p
This is the end result after working on this kit after work for the past 2 weeks.
