MG Deathscythe EW Commission



This is the third commission kit I've complete for my customer Rob; the first two being the Heavyarms and the Ground Gundam. I really enjoy working with customers like Rob because they know what they want, but they also allow me to incorporate my ideas into their kits.







For the Deathscythe he wanted a color scheme reminiscent of the TV version.



 Katoki's Deathscythe unfortunately eschews a lot of the dark blue on the upper body.

I incorporated the dark blue into the head and skirt armor. I also used a light grey to highlight the edging all around the skirt armor, and for the mandibles on the arm pincers. Additionally I recolored the back pack to a medium grey similar to the colors used on the TV version

Overall I'm very happy with the way the color scheme translated to the EW version. I think that Duo would be proud!

  1. As always, a very nice job! Did you paint the scythe blade or leave it OOTB?

    1. Thanks for the compliment! I actually gave the scythe a few baths in a thinned down mixture of tamiya clear green and alcohol, then I whipped away the excess with a paper towel soaked in isopropyl alcohol. But the effect is pretty unnoticeable :(

    1. I used Plamo UK lacquer based paints for this kit; but I wouldn't recommend them.
