SD 00 Raiser WIP - Priming the Head, GN Rifles/Blades, V-fins and Twin GN Drives

This is the very first time I am priming Gunpla parts. Therefore, I did not spray too much primer, otherwise, "flooding" might occur. I gently squeezed the nozzle, move from left to right, in short bursts. Thankfully, everything turned out alright. 


Check out the pics below ^^

Ready for priming.

I tried to organise the parts according to the components they belong too.

This makes it less confusing for me.

Masking the face.

Looks kinda creepy -__-"

After priming......

The small scratches are covered. Yay!

After cementing, sanding and priming, the seamline on the top of the helmet is gone!

Magic! ^^

I am quite satisfied with my progress so far. The hard work is worth it.

Just a question. Should I spray another layer of white primer on the white-coloured parts? I used grey primer the first time.

Peace Out,

SD 00 Raiser WIP - Head, GN Rifles/Blades, V-fins and Twin GN Drives

Besides restoring my MG Freedom Gundam, I am also commencing work on the SD 00 Raiser. I started with the head, GN rifles/blades and twin GN drives.

Unboxing the kit

The manual. 

Applied cement to remove the seamline in the middle.

I will sand it after the cement dries.

Look what I found again in my storeroom. 

My freakin 20 year-old styrofoam float which I used for my swimming lessons in primary school! >_<"

I have given an old thing a new lease of life again.

I am using it to pierce my satay sticks in. ^^

Preparations for priming. I am going to use Tamiya fine grey surface primer.

Double GN blades

V-fins. I tried to make the tip slightly sharper by using a file.

Personally, I dun like it too sharp.

Twin GN drives.

So, that's what I have managed to complete for today. Any advise on the priming process? Any important things to take note of? Please comment below. Thanks!

Peace Out,
