MSM-07E Z'Gok Experiment
Principality of Zeon Experimental Amphibious Mobile Suit

Colour scheme on the box calls for a green body. But this is an amphibious Mobile Armor, so a grey-blue theme seems more apt.

First time using all Black primer for whole kit.

Main Body
Base coat: Black Primer
Pre-shade 1: Insignia White + Glaze
Pre-shade 2: Midnight Sky + Glaze
Pre-shade 3: Steel Grey + Glaze
Transparent overcoat before main colour: Wolf Grey + Glaze
Main Colour: Intermediate Blue + Glaze
Post-shade feet and lower parts: German Grey + Glaze

Orange Jetpack: Black primer, Insignia White pre-shade, Vermilion, Main Colour Orange Red



Arm/Leg 'Scales'
Black Primer
Insignia White
Main Colour: Wolf Grey


Added one transparent overcoat of Insignia White + Steel Grey to lighten the colour (heavily shaded due to Black primer) and make it a little more blue

Clearcoat
Vallejo Gloss for decals, then Vallejo Satin. Finally, Lucky Matt Varnish by Ammo/Mig. Bought a new bottle as they were selling the 60ml ones. Vallejo the shop was only selling 200ml. Lucky Varnish is extremely thin, no thinner required, so good for a final matt coat before photography. Found Satin to still reflect a bit too much when photographed.
