Happy Little Robots – Volume 6 – Metallic Spray Paints with Wargreymon
If you’re anything like me, the Amplified Wargreymon Figure-rise kit was just a bit too… yellow. While it may be true to the art, that doesn’t mean it couldn’t look better. If you remember our first experiment with metallics, you know we opted for a flat finish on the Hyaku Shiki. This time around, we’re gonna put in a little elbow grease to get things to really shine.&nbs...
Happy Little Robots – Volume 5 – Metallic Spray Paints with HG Hyaku Shiki
In a sea of red, yellow, white, and blue, the HG Hyaku Shiki certainly stands out in the world of Gundam. The elegant design enhanced by that shiny gold finish. Wait… Isn’t gold supposed to be shiny? Unfortunately, metallic colors and Gundam have a bit of history, and it hasn’t always been the greatest. Out of the box, the “gold” pieces are more similar to a fast food honey...
Happy Little Robots – Volume 4 – HG Dendrobium Water Slide Decals
A few months back before all this craziness began, I picked up the HG Mechanics 1/550 GP03 Dendrobium. It’s an older kit, so it needed quite a bit of masking and painting to get it looking how I wanted it. Other than just painting though, it needed something extra. I ordered some third party decals from an online retailer, and once they arrived I set to work. A major headache sav...
Happy Little Robots – Volume 3 – MG Gundam Mk II Dry Transfer Decals
This week on Happy Little Robots, the term “little” is a bit subjective, as we finish up the markings on the larger scale MG Gundam Mk ii Titans Colors. While this kit may be a bit older, it is no slouch with its great articulation and proportions. But older kits do tend to have some markings you don’t see as often in newer kits: “dry transfer” decals. And today...
Happy Little Robots – Volume 2 – RG GP01 Completing the Frame
Welcome again everyone to the conclusion of our work with the RG GP01 on another volume of Happy Little Robots. If you recall from the first volume we added some chrome, gun metal, and gold highlights to the inner frame. Today we’re going to be adding in some red for the pistons and feet. Using the same techniques as before, the pieces have been spray painted black first. Then they have been...
Happy Little Robots – Volume 1 – RG GP01 Inner Frame Detail Up!
Picture this scenario: you’ve just purchased the 1/144 Real Grade GP01 and when you open the box something seems… off. It never bothered you before, but seeing that beautifully detailed frame in one boring grey just doesn’t cut it. You need something more. You want to build like the pros. But you don’t know where to start. In today’s episode I’m going to show you how,...
