custom painted rx-79

I recently bought a rx-79 ground war set and wasn't actually planing on building it, I had bought the kit so that I could get the hover truck and gm head for my older rx-79 kit so I could have the entire 08th ms team (the ez8, rx-79, rx-79 gm head repair, and hover truck).


I was helping a friend clean out his basement and found a couple bottles of nail polish and I got the idea to paint this kit using nail polish, so I saved the bottles I had found and I used them to paint the kit. I painted the blue parts purple, the red parts were painted a darker red, and I used actual paint to paint the yellow parts metal. I don't think I will ever paint another model kit with nail polish ever again, it is very hard to work with and takes a very long time to fully dry.


this kit has not yet been panel lined due to the fact that I can't find my gundam marker so I am currently unable to panel line it.
all in all, I like how it turned out, it's not perfect but it has character and I like the color so I'm happy with it.
