My first post in this group of my first ever build Gunpla. Some work in progress pictures. I hope you like them, please don’t be too harsh on a little girl, hihihi.
Pictures of the completed model can be found in the therefor group.
I’m looking forward to that new RG frame, it looks like a fun build. Hopefully we’ll see a Blue Frame Second L and Gold frame Amatsu as regular releases, though I feel like we’re going to see plenty of P-Bandai variations coming out.
Over all; looking forward to it 😀
As I love the Astray Red Frame (First Gunpla was the PG version), it might be my first RG. Always looking through the RG line-up and never can’t decide which one to pic as my first one, this might be the one for me
I can’t wait. I’ve never built a red frame, but my favorite HG is my gold frame Amatsu. So I’m excited, I love RGs and am interested in working with the new unique frame mold
I’m super excited, I have to say that, that mobile suit is what made me really fall in love with gundam. Lol plus it will be my first rg, I’ve built the no grade red frame so I’m excited to see the difference.
Would anyone happen to know what metallic paints could be used to achieve this finish? I have been researching and I seem to cannot find any concrete information on achieving…
that picture is a limited edition kit i dont remember exactly where it came from but it came out a whiile ago. if ur planning to paint that kind of similar effect u wont be able to do it perfectly but its id prob use some kind of silver/aluminum and mix it with some white to achieve that effect
im pretty sure mr metallics are laquer based because alot of the mr colors/ mr whtevers are generally laquers unless there are some exceptions which i doubt

You should look into doing a silver coat of paint and then going over it with a clear color paint like clear blue I’ve done it with tamiya paints and it works ok there’s a video on gunplay tv about it too a early episode
I’ve seen that! That is a titanium finish. What I want is the metallic finish. The one with the metallic flakes in the paint that make it look glittery. Thank you for your suggestion though. I love the titanium finish too!! 😀
What ive done is base coat silver then clear blue for the blue parts and clear red for the red parts then i put a clear pearl coat ive used tamiya ts-65 on everything and that gives u those sparkly bits
And so the work on the upper portion of this beast draws to a close.
backpack verniers have been replaced with bandai HD builders parts verniers, photoetch details added on the vents, forearm hoses replaced with metal spring/beads, and some metal detail parts added throughout
next… those huge legs.
Nice detailing on the frame! I’m sure as hell going to be detailing my inner frames from now on!
Awesome first build! What kind of models did you build before starting gunpla?
Thanks! I did some aircraft and armor in the past, but this was my first time going all out on a model. So happy you liked it <3
That’s great, I look forward to future posts if your projects
