Ooh. OK that explains a lot now. I’m new to the site for about a month now. And on episode 164 I was surprised I heard my name for the Strike gundam that Syd built. Gotta love those number generators
Well my MG Unicorn is finally done! I love the way it looks, did some panel lining and dry brushing but I did not flat coat this kit because of how sensitive it is to falling over. But I do love it!
Thanks! I really appreciate it, it was tough work lol by far the toughest kit because of the transformation. And unfortunately it isn’t, I really would have loved the cage but couldn’t get it :/ now just to figure out what to build next haha
Finally done with 1/60 exia. Painted here and there. Can’t really tell BC low phone camera resolution. What to build next. I’ve got few MG unicorns and sinanju. And couple RG and Mg build strike with universal booster. Suggestions???.
Still not quite done, made quite a bit of progress though. Now I’m working on the weapons then I will detail it with panel lines and add paint else where in the kit, then I will flat coat it and it will be complete!
First painted build MG GN-X! Would’ve uploaded WIP pics but I was waaay to eager to get started, had no idea how much fun painting would be. This kit was painted with Tamiya…
Here are some pictures of the work in progress on my PG Unicorn. All parts are painted using an airbrush, except for the pilot and cockpit. These are just some teasers as the…
I would imagine that it would work just fine with the PG as long as you used clear red. I am building the MG and I painted a part of the clear runner with clear red as a test spray and it kept the clear effect.
@thebanshee13, no, I didn’t paint the psycho frame. I was also worried it would ruin the clear effect, as some are unfortunate to get an opaque color.
@JoeMac, the pilot doesn’t come that way. He is all white out of the box. And thanks, it took me about two hours to get him that way
I went through my old collection and thought I would do a reshoot of one of my older kits.
This is the 1:100 HG wind Zero. It was great for its day. Even though the engineering doesn’t match up to today’s standards. Still I like it and this was completely hand painted
Honestly been busy lately and is first time in a while to sit down and build. But looking at the updates really inspired me, got further on my unicorn build and thinking about the paint scheme for my next unicorn kit!
Interesting idea. This Delta could turn out great (or not). The big question about it. Will it transform?
PS. I cannot wait to see the legs assembled – cause right unless you heavy modify the steins trusters they will look awkward (im not sure if they will hide the orginal Delta leg thrusters ).
All in all good luck with the build. And if its…[Read more]
Well I can tell you that it will not transform. The legs are the only parts of the delta that I’m using. I didn’t mod the steins thrusters yet but when I test fit the part of the thruster that connects to the arm it looked good and didn’t completly hide the delta thruster
I’m confident that it will look good when I’m finished
I completed my first Master Grade Gundam kit, the Freedom Gundam. I enjoyed building it. But, I’m not happy with the final model. It just doesn’t have enough detail. When I…
The age of a kit does make a difference. 10 years ago, that kit would have looked great compared to it’s HG version. I think there is a new version of it, though I wouldn’t quote me on that as I dislike anything SEED related, as they release WAY to many SEED kits.
A good example of the age of a kit effecting the overall detail, is to look at the…[Read more]
That’s awesome to see someone else’s same kit! I just finished building a freedom as well but never posted any pictures. Honestly I thought the age of the kit would be a problem, but I had a lot of fun with it and thought it was really well done for its age
The freedom is my all time fav MS. I do agree with you about the details are lacking. But when it came out it would have been great. I got a 1/60 NG ver, that has very similar level of detail. But in the size I prefer plus a bit of paint helps. But they do lack in comparison to the RG line. But I fined the best version of the Freedom is the metal…[Read more]
The detail and paint you are putting into this zaku is awesome! I have on waiting to get built but I don’t think I will be able to get that look and detail like you have.
Hey Joe! thanks for the comment! Get encouraged man! it’s really easy to add some personal touch to these models so it doesnt end up being a straight out of the box build. Just put some bronze and silver to pistons or the little parts that are visible when you bend the legs and arms! The rifles usually get some love too, i just color all the…[Read more]
Yea definitely gonna try it haha, thinking I might give it a shot on my unicorn MG I am currently building, because you are definitely right, you have to add some personal touch so that they are your kit!
