    One more close up since those pics didn’t turn out too hot.

    • Great color scheme! It looks like a de-active suit from Seed.

        Thanks BG! My pic taking skills are terrible. I used gray primer, black, and silver.

        I just looked up the de active suites from Seed. That is definitely pretty darn close to my scheme! I started watching Seed at one point but just couldnt get into it. Should i try again? Does it get better hopefully?

    • ^ I was just about to say that. Looks really nice.

        Thanks Dlinker! I recently bought that MG Nu Gundam and royally screwed it up so i decided to go ahead and do a fully painted RG. With the help you guys have given me so far i feel like i am learning by trial and error at a decent pace.

        • Keep it up, man. Trial and error are probably the greatest learning tools we got. Sorry to hear about the Nu, though 🙁 What happened?

            Well i tried to give him a paint job and let’s just say that i overdid it on the paint application. All I really need to do is strip the paint and start over. What are your recommendations for stripping paint? I have heard break fluid is a really easy way to do it but am kind of scared to try. That stuff is toxic!

            • Ahh, okay. Thank goodness it’s just a paint mishap. You got three options for stripping paint: Simple Green, Purple Power, and Denatured Alcohol. All are safe on plastics, won’t make them brittle or weak.

              You can actually use normal alcohol too, but I don’t read about it being used often so my second-hand knowledge is weak on that.

                Yes the mistake is reversible thank goodness! Thanks for the tips on paint removal man!

                • I like how that scheme turned out, I can’t place why but it’s relaxing to look at.
