MG Aile Strike. So far have the legs done and coated waiting to dry so I can apply the water decals and seal everything. Next will be the feet and waist.
figure ill post some shots of what i have assembled so far. i think the colors are coming together nicely. Working on the shoulders now so by the end of the weekend i should have the upper half done.
actually its not blue, its a plum purple. hard to see with these pics, i need better lighting. nothing crazy on the weapons maybe some metallic accents and possible coloration shift on the beam weapons.
RG Exia wip. going for a 3-tone inner frame. gunmetal, titanium, and metallic grey. sanded off visible seam lines when you put on the armor parts. hated the back of the knee seam line especially…
@drAInbAmAgE: thanks! it was a pain to sand indeed due to the plastic being the soft type like ABS maybe.
@Jaberwak: yes, i used airbrush to paint the frame. i made sure not to use lacquer paint as i was afraid it would melt the plastic they used for it. did a thin coat of primer to make sure the paint would stick better and just 2 coats of the…[Read more]
@syd, thanks for the advise and encouragement! It has been all stickied. I hope it really is “that much better”! Btw, the Dragoons were still a chore to do.

Just recieved this today from Samuel Decal. My first non bandai kit , but only because they havent made one yet . Really love this design , and the kit looks really good . I will take some pictures as i build it.
i like what you did with this kit, a lot! especially that weathering (the oil/rust staining from the hinge points on the shield: awesomeness!) its those kind of details which make a kit look more life-like that i enjoy the most. i hope to make such skills my own, one day. excellent work!
Thank you. It took awhile. I worked on it off and on for so it’s hard to say. But probably a few months. Most of that time was all the work on the frame that doesn’t show
More work on the arms. Need a touch up on the purple and one more part to assemble before i can get the first top coat on and move on to the water slides. Hopefully i can finish the arms in the next day or so.
I’ve moved onto the weapons pack. It’s a combination of a Frame Arms kit, a GN Arms type-E, an EX-S, a Sword Impulse backpack, and the stock Buster Cannons.
