At a beach in Koltova

First kit I’m working on since Sally last year. I’ve had the rare Pteras CP022 parts for… like two years or so now and hadn’t gotten around to doing a build plan for it. 

My friend Libby suggested Pteragordon colours for the resin HM Raynos WF garage kit I got but then I thought ‘now wait, I have something that fits visually just as well’ and thus: Pteragordon Version is born. 

I have a lot of general cleanup to do on some of my detailing work, I’ve been doing this today on little to no sleep and while feeling incredibly ill so my steadiness hasn’t been there for some things but it’s easy to fix with a touch of lacquer thinner. All my accenting will be in gold/silver to match the build theme, but I think the mid bracket on the wing will get blue on it, and if I’m clever I’ll mask it off to do it like a lightning bolt to once again match the build theme. 

Which seems to be Masking Hell Funtimes tbh, vs Pteragordon, aha. 

I do like that this variant is both fun, a good refresher on techniques after not working on kits for so long, and a way of still keeping the gorgeous base colour of the special CP as a major focus still.
