The Sword Impulse is done. This is my very first painted MG kit and it has some flaws but I like how it turned out. Definitely the most time consuming build I have done so far.
PG chars zaku 2 wip. Finally got the eye to light up after much swearing at the wiring 🙂 slow progress due to work and other commitments but its a great build and highly recommended if you can get hold of one at a good price.
Finished my MG RX-78-2 Ver. 3.0 in the Real Type Color Scheme. Had a lot of problems with the massive amount of decals. I used the water slides, but some of them startet to silver. Guess i have to improve my decal applaying abilities.
Got those last parts top coated, finished the assembly and applied the water slide decals today. Everything is back apart and ready for one last spray of dull coat.
First, I sprayed them with a clear lacquer dull coat so my paints would stick. Next, I sprayed Tamiya clear red to change the original pink color.

I’m using some crappy acrylics but with pretty solid results. The light green is called palm leaf, the dark green is English ivy and the purple is purple pansy. They are cheap crafting acrylics, but i have been thinning them and getting them to work out for me. also I’m using krylon crystal clear acrylic top coat if you were curious.
The paints you are using for the copper look amazing and your weathering effects are quite breath taking. Air brush work im guessing? Can’t wait to see this kit finished.
Thank you. I used the dry brush technique and tamiya weathering master B for the weathering. I started off using the airbrush but found that I can get better detail on models this small using other methods
I know what you mean. I think it was because Bandai brought this one out just before the V2.0 that they thought it would be a waste. I bought it years ago with the OYW Gundam, and they are very compatible for parts swamping.
