    Hi guys. I just finished the top half of my 1/100 Gundam Dynames. This is a redo for me, I tired a jungle camo before and this is what it looked like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4hUQbwuw2Hs#t=839s . I was happy but not ecstatic.

    (As I’m writing this the textbox keeps resizing! It’s annoying!!)

    I tried to model the deign off Vietnam Tiger Stripe, but I’m not good enough to do it justice so I’m trying my best for an experienced noob.

    I used ‘The Army Painter’ coloured primer ‘Skeleton Bone.’
    If you’ve not used ‘The Army Painter’ coloured primer TRY IT you can get it online in Europe and the US, you’ll not use anything else after you try it. This is my opinion, i’m not being told to say that!!!!

    (Clear coat)

    Then Satin black (Cheap non-brand car paint)

    (Clear coat)

    Then ‘Flames of War’ German Armour desert yellow. Only because I had it already and it’s a shade darker than ‘Desert Yellow’ by ‘The Army Painter’

    (Clear coat)

    Lastly I finished with ‘Montana Gold’ green and a clear coat of anti-shine varnish.

    I know two of the paints were not modeling paints but out here in the middle of modeling nowhere (The UK) I have to make due with what I can find, cheap.

    So, what you think?
    Personally, I think I’ll grow on me and I’ll show it off when it’s done.

    • Paint is paint. If it doesn’t eat up what you’re trying to build than it does it’s job and does it well! Loving it so far. Looking forward to seeing the completed kit my friend.

      • Thanks. As you know it’s difficult finding paint where I am. A lot of the paint I used isn’t designed for modeling so it comes out thick and i’m sorry to say that I have lost some detail on this kit, but then again I am doing a camo patter so it’s kinda the point.
