Just finished the Arcadia today: Harlock's Arcadia | Project by Crave (1:1500)

My goal was to apply what I learned from that Arcadia build before I forget it! I think I succeeded.

- did gold filigree by painting on AK Metallic, covering with Winsor&Newton Varnish, and the paininting the base colour in acrylic. I used IPA to rub away the base coat revealing the gold. Worked well! THE KEY was letting each layer of the sandwich cure. THANK YOU TO MY FRIEND YOSHIDA-SAN FOR THIS IDEA!
--For the last Arcadia, I got you all over my fingers at times my goal was to get no glue anywhere I didn't want it to go! Mostly successful.
