Building A Gundam – Bandai’s HGUC RX-78-2, Part 6: Pre-Shading The Armor

This video series will cover building Bandai’s HGUC RX-78-2 Gundam kit, starting with getting the parts off the sprue, right through to the final weathering steps. Each video will focus in on specific techniques. This way you can follow along with the build through the series, or use specific episodes to focus in on particular elements that can apply to any Gunpla build. You can access the full series on a Youtube playlist.

Part 6 of this series takes a look at the “theory” of pre-shading, examining options beyond the oft seen “paint it all black first” method. Airbrush pre-shading is demonstrated, with a primary goal being to help a new modeler confidently apply the technique.
