Doing some test shots and fitting of the custom parts. Still missing the dual beam sabers and cannons from the GP02. Now looking for a better camera than my iPhone. Also, seems that when I post images with my iOS device, for some reason the site doesn’t post my comments on the text box.
I kit bashed 2 dendrobiums and 2 HG GP02 onto the PG with an aile strike pack. I also added some radome and thrusters. So far I have used a full GP02 and both 1/550 dendrobiums. So I still can build a GP02 when I’m done.
The dendrobiums are the cheaper 1/550 scale ones. All in all, though, I’m still approaching the 300 dollar mark with just this project not counting the paints and markers. My original plan was to kit bash the 1/144 dendrobium but hlj didn’t have them available even to today.
Some of the shots to show the paint job and decal work. Used a combination of the default decals and 00 1/100 quant. Also using gundam light blue paint and 2 tones of common krylon paint. Used gundam markers and krylon gold leaf for some of the accents. 2 tones of silver from rustolium. I’ll post the custom kits bashed onto this kit later.
thanks. It’s not that hard really. Just follow syd and Ryan’s videos and you should be fine. It’s actually harder to get the paints in my country than to actually paint the kit! That’s why I’m using a bunch of common spray paints off the hardware store to show we can achieve great results so long as you follow syd’s tips.
