Hello, ive done some quick hue changes on the Hi-Nu image i have, Just some really quick knock ups. I made some super quick variations which i would like to take further after some feedback =] Could i possibly have some ideas put forth before i go out and buy some paints. Please note i have just reaslied that the center colour wrong due to the hue, Also i havnt taken into acount the rear details, i wanted to get a clear view on the body colours, before thinking on the other details. Here are the links

Honestly, asking people to click through over a half-dozen links to choose how you want to build your model might be pushing it a little bit. I might suggest that--instead--you create a composite image that contains much smaller versions of all the schemes you have listed and either put the image within your post (assuming, of course, that it's within the Picture Posting Guideline limit) or put a link directly to that composite image. That should be more than enough for people to get an idea of how well a scheme works. Or how badly it doesn't work.

There's a lot of folks on the boards that aren't too fond of picking other peoples' color schemes, so be wary. It's one thing to research camo patterns, and come up with something unique and different and apply it to a mecha model. Unfortunately, it's quite another to throw out a bunch of color schemes because you're not sure where to start and where to end. That's just a cautionary note. Nothing more.

And, on a personal note, I do like the way you tested your color schemes. Normally we see colorized lineart. This really gives you a much better idea on how your build could eventually turn out.

Finally, my vote goes for the Black/Red combo. It's different from the shades of blue and purple that are currently circulating around, and shouldn't be overly difficult to buy paint for.

Good luck!

I really like the Green and White.  It reminds me of Lancers Alpha from Robotech.

The Black and Red colored Gundam is the best of the bunch, I vote for the last one. I think the colors look the best together in that image, if you are using for high intensity colors, the red colored one is easy on the eyes. I am going with black and red since it is the same color scheme as my alma mater, San Diego State University's colors are red and black. LOL Smiley

Black/Red has my vote.  They're my family colors.  Happy Smirk

My only other suggestion is a "splash" color like a bright yellow thrown in for accent on the head spikes and chevron on the waist.
