This is the High Grade 1/144 Sengoku Astray Gundam from Gundam Build Fighters. :) This, in my opinion, is one of the coolest looking Gunpla from the Build Fighters series. :) It just looks awesome, and there’s also a kind of beauty to the traditional samurai theme of it. This kit can come off a bit disappointing at first, because the swords are both molded out of white plastic, and use sticker decals to add the chrome of the blades. Also, the demon shield (not shown in this picture), like the swords, is completely unpainted, with the only color being the red plastic it’s molded out of, and has no sticker decals. However, this is where your painting and detailing skills come into play. With a little paint and panel lining, you can have this kit looking like it came straight out of the anime. ;)
As you can see, I detailed mine to get it looking more anime accurate. You all are probably wondering what I did with the swords. To answer that, I used a grey Gundam marker and a red Gundam marker to paint the grey and red of the handles, a yellow Sharpie oil-based paint marker to paint the yellow on the blade guard and the bottom of the hilt, and a liquid chrome marker to get the chrome silver of the blades. You heard that right, liquid chrome. Liquid chrome markers can be purchased at arts and crafts supply stores, as well model shops, and are ideal for adding that chrome finish to your models. They’re a bit pricey, but they work wonders.

The swords came out incredible!
I'm familiar with two other ways to achieve that look, Testors metallizer paints (Requires buffing) also Bare metal foil. I've used that to make chrome on more than one of my Cadillac models! =^^=
Did you need to buff those swords to get that look?
