Trunks - Dragonball Z

Recommended Posts

Another character from the Anime / Manga Dragonball Z. This one is Trunks wearing a Saiyan combat suit.

The figure is roughly 17.5cm high and was a single cast piece of white resin. E2046's work shop had done a good job of removing the seem lines from the piece, leaving only a small amount of prep work to be done.

Straight out of the packaging...

Mr Hobby resin primer (brushed on) is good for hiding smaller surface imperfections in the more difficult to clean areas...

Primed and sanded down with Tamiya's P2000 abrasive paper, smooth...

Applied a base coat of white, then used Zero-paints Yamaha Gauloises Extreme Blue as the main colour. A light sand between layers, then once fully dry it was wet sanded with P2000 paper...

Three progressively lighter coats of the Yam' Blue were added for the high lights. Each successive layer covering a smaller area. No dark shading was done...

Both this one and the Simca kit are roughly at the same stage, so I will be able to spray them along side each other.
