Here it is, the completed MG AGE-1 Normal. Whew, it nearly took as long as my Red Frame. I painted the eyes, and after many tries, I got satisfying results. They don’t show up well on camera, which is a shame. I think I’m going to enter this as my final submission. While I like my Red Frame, I think I did a better job overall on this one. I had…[Read more]
Excellent job on the AGE-1. Looks fantastic even when placed next to the Red Frame. The minimal decal work isn’t a hindrance either, but I’m not sure why, haha. I’m not surprised you like the Red Frame a bit more overall; it’s a proven quality design.
It’s looking great. A big RG kit. The panel lines aren’t over done as some kits are and it doesn’t miss the decals. But I personally would put more decals on since I like them. Overall a fantastic job.
Amazingly clean job I would say. Congrats for finishing it! The gray color is really somehing. I also would think to add some more decals. But just do it following your taste.
Thanks guys! I didn’t add as many decals as I did because they were rather boring, and detracted from the kit IMO. If it was a Katoki-style kit, then I would have put more on.
Nice , they both look really good , that age one ie really starting to grow on me , especially in MG form. As for the red frame , well its just one of the best designed suits there is , im saving my pennies for the PG.
Today was probably the last day with good weather here for a little bit, so I flat coated all of the finished limbs. Here it is so far. I still have to decide wether I should paint the eyes or not, and then I’ll have it done. I love the way the foil stickers look, though. The paint that I ordered still has to arrive. It might come tomorrow. To say…[Read more]
Thank you. I used Mr. Hobby Topcoat, since I don’t have an airbrush (yet). I did not apply a gloss coat first. I see it as a waste of money, and it even makes the flat coat less, well, flat. The flat coat is honestly durable enough to suit my needs for protecting the paint, if that’s what you’re wondering. One of my limbs (on a different build)…[Read more]
Oooh, the grey trims look really good when put together. Almost seems like those areas have more armor on them than the white parts, haha. Pictures seem to be higher res, yes. They look great on my laptop screen and I’m running 1980 x 1050.
I have finished the waist, one leg, and I decaled the arms. I used two of my leftover decals from one of my first kits, the MG Heavyarms. The style of the decal looked nice on the grey, so I added it. I liked how the decal looked weathered when on the kit. I think this kit looks better with minimal decals, so I was very sparse with them.

Clean and awesome work. Gray is FANTASTIC.
Thanks!
P.S.
I forgot to mention that I painted the black on the knees.
That grey accentuate the overall body which is a pretty nice touch. The panel line is actually very well done. Thumb up man
