MG Destiny WIP- o have now applied all the dry transfers- they all went on really well, accept one ‘ZAFT’ decal on the wing which broke and moved slightly… I fixed it as much as I could! He’s all packed at the moment to stop dust, until I apply waterslides tomorrow!
Excellent! He looks really great! And what a good idea of using the bags to prevent dust from collecting on it. Much luck wished to you on applying the waterslides. But I’m sure you will make an awesome job of that as well
Some more pictures of the work in progress on the MG Destiny. One picture of a piece of the backpack is a little blurry unfortunately…. Also included some pictures of a…
Thank you very much. I’m liking yours better than mine. Is this what they call, the grass looks always greener on the other side of the fence… LOL. Yes, everything is done with an airbrush. Except for Shinn of course. He is all done with a 5/0 and a 3/0 hand brush. I’m glad you like him. Took me 4 hours to paint him. That’s without drying time…
Here are also some pictures of a MG Destiny. Decided to strip all the chrome plating and use Alclad II chrome. First time I used it, but worked out fine, although there are…
Haha. I wouldn’t worry about that @Oli8all. I’ve seen how much detail you’ve put in yours. I hope mine can stand in the shadow of yours. Thanks for your nice comment.
WIP-MG Destiny Build… Today my Mr Hobby Super Clear Gloss spray paint arrived, so I jumped straight in a clear coated the MS and Wings ready for decals(waterslides and dry transfers)! Then flat coat and then the last stretch…thanks guys
actually can i also ask how did u panel line it well wht did u use as ur guide to make the scribed lines so striaght rulers for me are getting pretty tough and annoying
Looking really nice! I’m finally getting mine done. If I speed thing up, we might be able to arrange a family meeting for the long lost twins. LOL. Are you going to do weathering on yours? Plan to do mine straight out of the factory. Hate to dull up the pearlescent paint mixture…. Thanks for your update
@thebanshee13, as i live in the UK paints are quite difficult to get a hold of (so i thought), so i used to get them all of off eBay, but then i found model shop called eModels who supply Tamiya and Mr Hobby paints which is brilliant and i don’t have to pay more for shipping or have to wait for weeks either. i can send you a link to them if you…[Read more]
@teetee580 Thanks, i’ve seen your WIP pics… it looks like it coming along nicely. As for weathering i don’t really plan on weathering it, i want this one to be a clean build (like its just come out the factory but might of had a couple of test flights) so i have done some subtle weathering and dry brushing in places (like around vents)- so i…[Read more]
Working on my 1st Gundam Model today. I picked up the:
Hazel Custom Gundam HG. I’ve been looking at tutorials all day. I opened and cleaned the trees at 8pm and now its 4:22 A…
Sazabi update: the legs are almost done and i should be able to finish up the gloss coat and water slides tomorrow after work. This build is coming down to the wire for time. test fitting the legs and i can finally see how big this kit really is.
RG Gundam Wing! Yeeeesssss!!! This is what I’ve been waiting for…pity it’s the feathered one and not the one from the anime..hope we get that too..can’t wait for the rest to be revealed!
Aside from being a bit thick on the paint. It’s a really good effort, for a first time. I’ll being pretty crap when I use the airbrush for the first time in a few days. You’ll only get better with practice. Keep up the work and you’ll have a good looking kit. But remember it’s all about fun, even if it doesn’t turn out how you want. So ENJOY!
Update on the Dendrobium. It’s finally all built. But it was really white. So I decided to break it up with bits of blue. Then the task of water slide decals is taking longer…
The plan is to keep it clean. Because I’ve got very little weathering and battle damage experiance. I plan to use some older HG kits for practice at some point.
Great idea to use some blue to break up the surface a bit. Looks great, good color scheme too! Never realized how big a kit it is, but your pictures show it’s true awesomeness. Thanks for the update
I got the decals from sameuldecal. I found out about him from FaceBook. He’s got a wide range of decals and kits to order. Due to the size of the kit, the amount of decals and size is massive. So the cost was $40 US I think.
Hi guys! I am new here and am so excited to be a part of such a wonderful community! First off, I just bought the 1/144 RG Strike Freedom Gundam and it is fantastic! Now I…
I just finished building my RG Strike Freedom yesterday and I reckon that you could paint the frame gold BUT you should limit it to only the parts you can see. There are so many tiny tight joints that would snap with too much resistance so try keep it to just external parts. It may help I’d you sanded down that parts that you paint so that you…[Read more]
Are u airbrushing. There’s a paint for airbrush called aclad. You do a coat of black gloss then gold chrome look it up. I bought the paint but haven’t try yet. They r a bit expensive though
Here’s all the little guys from all the kits in the diorama I’ve started painting these little fellows they take about as long to paint as the kit does
Hello everyone I just joined so I don’t have many pictures yet but just finished my first diorama it’s about the original gundam series it took me a couple of months to finish the kits and diorama I weathered the kits but I didn’t do damage because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to change them around
I used piece of wood for the base then layered styrofoam down and used plaster of Paris for the lower ground and used some lightweight hydrocal for the rocks and then used sculptamold for the top hill mountain area and then used some woodland scenic s trees and ground foam grass and sand I used acrylic paint I got at walmart to paint it and used…[Read more]
