My ZGMF-X10AFF Freedom Gundam Flame Feder. I ran out of red paint so I changed the colours a bit and I couldn’t finish chest, left arm/weapon so I just put some decals from the FA Unicorn Ver Ka. instead.
Haven’t posted or built gunpla in a year and a half so decided to get back into it with something special. Always wanted to build the ZGMF-X10AFF Freedom Gundam Flame Feder….
The built was great. The kit was fantastic. Until i put the stickers on. This is the second kit that i destroyed because of the stupid stickers that won’t stay. The first one is RG Sinanju. Goddamn!

a little tip if your going to paint the yellow belt pieces is to put them on a skewer with blu tack on the ends and u can paint them all at once.
update on the old kit – having a win with the restoration but cutting the windows is very sloppy. I’ve tried dremel drills, scalpels, and sharpened screw drivers with no luck….
not so much a build but more an attempt at a restoration/resurrection of a kit made back in 1987. gunna ditch the fibre optics and the awful silver paint
yup its an old AMT kit. I’ve ripped out all the optics and having a go at making some replacement decals. the old halogen bulbs are definitely going in the bin, i have no idea how they didnt melt the kit or burn a house down. trying to drill out the windows but they are tiny, narrow and im only getting about 10 window to a snapped drill bit at…[Read more]
Initial test build completed. Now it’s time for disassemble and trying seam line removal for the first time. Then I’ll need to decide on a paint scheme followed by my first attempt with an airbrush.
