The 4 feet parts shown here have been the cause of some very long delays compounded by my lack of vacation days. The main problem I had with these parts was managing how the dark paint can be applied to the inner depressions of the feet while applying the main red/blue colors to the rest. These pieces are very different from the feet of my previous build Extreme Gundam making it difficult to use the simpler way of masking the edges of the depression.
The following photos will show the method I decided to use instead.
Spray Dark Blue onto the soles and let dry
Carefully sand away the outer parts leaving depression with paint
Apply decent amount of masking solution to the parts that need covering
Apply surfacer then spray pieces in respective colors.
Since this gave me quite a headache, I'll leave it alone to harden for two weeks then peel off the masking solution. Hopefully the paint will be cured by then. Once these pieces are finished both legs could finally be completed.
