Update 4. In final stages before clear coat which will be performed tomorrow afternoon at 3PM EST. Touching up white on upper arms and legs. Reinforcing custom shoulder…
UPDATE 3: Bashing specific parts and perfecting the paint job. Meant to post this update earlier but needed to do some house work. Next update will be prior to clear coating…
Only for primer and base coat. Even then I trimmed off all but one branch from each piece and initial sanded. Also since I’m kit bashing two kits I’ve built before I know where the least visible nubs will be. I’m actually removing the parts I’m using now and evening out the odd spots with a small amount of thinner.
Finally primed the base paint. Now working on fine details and base part construction. Next update will be when this step is finished before a matte clear coat.

I’m entering this again hoping to do have better luck than I did in 2013. I was planning this build for a while but this timing is brilliant. The build I’m preparing this year will be a kitbash of the GM Striker (https://hlj.com/product/BAN948082) which I already have through my wife for my birthday and a kit I’m waiting on from my father in law…[Read more]
Hey, just had a crazy thought about the PG Unicorn that may get answered with this reveal but I was wondering… what if one of the things they did with this is have it to to where the LEDs can shift from the […]
Ok, here we go again, I WANT THAT FRAME ARMS first and foremost, Ooooh the plans I have for such things. Now that we have that out of the way… I’m curious about the whole PG psychoframe however I can not afford […]
Ok, I know I’m posting a lot of stuff but…don’t you just hate it when you perfect an idea then you come up with another concept that trumps it? Think of this as a variation of my original Malibu, the Gundam Malibu LX or Limit eXceed.
Alright, did my line art clean up. Perhaps I can get some serious thoughts on this build concept before I order the kits. Here is my Gundam Malibu. It took a few tries and a few perspective tricks with GIMP to do this but I’m happy with how the concept looks Any and all suggestions are welcome and all of that good stuff.
Hey there, I made a suggestion which no one has answered in my Q&A posting or with my original concept on here, I think if I attach a sketch image which I’ll clean up in GIMP…
The name “Prototype Virgo” comes to mind considering that what the Virgos were were mass-produced and toned down mobile doll versions of combining those two suits.
Rethinking a concept here, I’m wanting to know if anyone has tried to kitbash the 1:144 Victory Gundam with any standard size model as a build? The reason I ask is I’m considering using it as a basis combined with the AGE-2 to build upon a transforming build for the refined design of my concept model Gundam Malibu. I was originally going to have…[Read more]
Looking at the polycap designs I think that the Age-2’s waist should work with the victory. If it doesn’t fit you can cut down the waist peg to fit the victory’s chest polycap on.
The fore arms would be very difficult to attach to the Age-2s upper arms unfortunately as they have very different connections.
