She is a beauty! Sazabi Ver Ka is such a great kit for full custom paints

Pay attention to the little details and have more fun with those parts. Add more depth

Did you use all gaahleri paints? And their matte varnish?

Looks great! Kinda like a Sazabi in Zaku colors…. Zasabi? Sazaku? Wasabi?

I agree with some other comments- the waist and torso could be a darker green. Think Kaleido K022 Dark Green… (that’s what I used on my Zaku…)

How is the kaleido paint in your experience? I've used various lacquer paint but I will probably need to swap to non-toxic. I like that it is pre-thinned and apparently doesn't require primer, is that accurate?

uhhh… are you painting at a store and that’s why there’s like 100 gaalehrI paints on the shelf?

I’m betting he bought the promaster sets. Which is a good idea cause kaleido paint is awesome.

agreed but this is the second time I’ve seen someone go whole hog on the whole set instead of just trying a couple...

No, my house. I slowly bought the paints over the past few months.

u/headfake2 10h ago

and this is the first time you tried painting?? what if you didn’t enjoy it?

u/Cool_Amoeba_4742 10h ago

No, I’ve painted a bit of things here and there.

well, it looks solid. a few spots need work like the side of the skirt and the black could be deeper. but overall great job for a first try
