nightmareB4macross Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Start with a very dark (prefereably black) primer and work the white on gradually to develop a grayish white color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 If you have an airbrush, German grey is a great color to use. Then use a white to lighten it up to your preference. German grey is a great color that matches parts of the SDF-1 in DYRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Back in the day I customized an SDF-1 like the DYRL style. For the white colors, I used a matte white with a touch of black. It's not a straight white color. As for the blue, Tamiya blue, mixed with the German Grey is what worked for me. The reason why I used the greys and off whites is cause the Macross in DYRL is a very non-brilliant style. Lot's of dull colors, and greys. Hope that helps.
