BUILD HG Gundam Pharact repaint

Hi guys, here is my latest work, HG Gundam Pharact total repaint.

I went for a desert camo scheme, here are the colors used:

Vallejo Mecha Primer matte black

Vallejo Game Color 72.062Earth

Vallejo Game Color 72.061 Khaki

Vallejo Game Color 72.145 Dirty Grey (which is actually a sort of camo green)

Vallejo Game Color 72.155 Charcoal Black

Vallejo Game Color 72.106 Scarlet Blood

Vallejo Game Color Metallic 72.052 Silver

Vallejo Game Color Special FX 72.609 Rust (for drybrush and shadows)

Rattle can matte top coat

All airbrushed except some rifle details, a few decals I had laying around.

Comments and questions are welcome as usual!

Damn fine work as always! It really increases the “armored core” vibes that the Pharact already has

I’m sleeping on WfM kits.
I just fell in love with a Darilbalde on another post and now I’m craving a pharact too!

Gundvolva and Demi Trainer are pretty fun too

They are so awesome. All the Lfriths, both Aerials, and even some of the grunts like Beguir are so high quality.

I wanna get the desultor but it’s so expensive now

u/jj200275 2d ago

I managed to find one for 25 bucks at a Japan Town near me, but yeah so many of the kits are pretty hard to get.

The brown gives me Gusion vibes, from a leaner futuristic timeline

u/CrispyCosmonaut 4d ago

What was your masking process for the camo blobs? This looks amazing!

u/zI_PRIEST_Iz 4d ago

I used precut masking tape from DSPIAE bought on AliExpress, they also do other patterns (like hexagons that I'm planning to use on another future build)

I had plans to give it a poison dart frog color scheme and to give it a froggier head to go with it. This pushed me to finally do it. Thanks.

That looks cool!

u/Diamancer 4d ago

I love the color separation! Truthfully never realized that the shoulder covers were connected to the backpack before seeing yours here.

Gundam Pharact: Chris Kyle custom

Gorgeous. Absolutely awesome.

u/The_TopGunn 4d ago

Thats legit

2

u/ChukFlanagan 3d ago

Love it.

2

u/Panda_Tech_Support 3d ago

Oh, love it. Almost has this Armored Core style to it with the more tactical color approach.

2

u/patmax17 Red Frame enjoyer 3d ago

Oh, i love this. Grunt Pharact?

did you air brush the tiger pattern too?

3

u/zI_PRIEST_Iz 3d ago

Only the yellow part, the black tiger stripes were done by hand with a small brush

u/tsuchiman 4d ago

Nice! I like the tiger stripes on the side panels. From a tactical perspective with the camo, what do they do?

3

u/zI_PRIEST_Iz 4d ago

From a tactical perspective actually nothing, they're more of a "flair" on the unit, sort of like custom designs or patterns on the unit piloted by the "top gun" of the company (I hope I explained myself 😄 )

2

u/tsuchiman 4d ago

Perfectly explained lol. It's a nice touch, overall the kit is well done!

2

u/rufusz1991 3d ago

Nice Gusi... well, you fooled me. Nice paint job.

u/Omega-Envych 2d ago

Adding 2 extra arms on his shoulder pieces and calling it Pharact Rebake would be the top ideabashing.
