I've been working on the SD Kshatriya for a long time.
I wanted to plate and paint the HG version and assemble it, but it was never re-released. Also, I started with the SD version in case I failed, but it turned out surprisingly nicely and I'm happy with it.
As expected, a machine with curved surfaces just makes you want something shiny even more.
I deliberately used a blue hue for the saber to create a slight gradation. It would have been better if there was more shading, but I'm the type of person who fails when I get greedy, so I'll stop here.
The downside with this method is that it's very shiny and the poster might be visible (lol)
