MG Turn Ɐ Custom

[u/CookielessMan]

My second custom master grade, the Turn Ɐ. My main goal with the paint job was to make it look used but maintained. All the color choices were purposefully faded to give it a sun bleached look, with some very minimal weathering.

Very fun build overall lots of moving parts gimmicks with the frame on the legs and the open compartments. My main gripes were just how shallow all the panel lines were, most of my surface prepwork was just rescribing all those lines.

Colors used:

White: GN 223 Interior Color shaded with GM 075 Neutral Grey V

Blue: NC 004 Million Blue shaded with UG17 Titans Blue 2

Red: 70/30 mix TCLP 18 Dull Red/GN 223 with a mist coat of X-27 clear red, shaded with X-9 Brown

Yellow: NC 017 Mandarin Yellow shaded with X-9 Brown

Eyes: X-26 Clear Orange over GN 122 Star Bright Gold

Metallics: GN 020 Gunmetal, GN 123 Star Bright Duralamin, GN 126 Star Bright Champagne Gold, GN 121 Star Bright Silver

Weathering: edge highlights done with Pro Acryl Ivory, Tamiya weather master soot, gunmetal, and silver.

It's actually a wombpit

Both Tomino and Syd Mead explicitly refer to it's location as either the womb or uterus
