Due to a lack of available time now that my work situation has changed (for the better) I’m definitely not going to be able to finish my entry as she’s still got a lot of work to go. I’ll just be happy if I manage to finish her at all at this point 😛 Looking forward to seeing the winning entries, though!
Complete. Will post more pics later when i get to play with it a bit more (Hope i don’t damage the paint too much…but damage on the paint does add to the effect, no?)
Exhaust nozzle redone to satisfaction, weathered & installed. Airframe touch-up completed. All but landing gear, pylons and ordnance has been gloss coated and curing for 1 week. So no WIP on those, but on later parts.
It’s not done yet. Next would be panel line wash & then decals, and then flat coat. Finally final touch-up & weathering, then flat coat again. The metallic were Alclad, but the primer wasn’t good enough. Alclad ate into the plastic a bit. On top were acrylic metallics. I wanted to try layering Alclad with the final being copper.

They are so inconsiderate, we should go there, stand outside and make them re open for business for a few hours just to make the parts you need then they can go back out of business just so you can finish your build.
I am making a really nasty sign to hold up with bad words on it right now!!!!.
That will show em!!!. 😉
The ones I cut off are toast. I’m going to see about tracking down another set. They have really nice detail. If it comes to it though I might cut the parts I need off of one of my other builds.
An idea: you could buy the same kit again, use the missing part from that kit, finish the contest build. And build the new build later on for fun. Maybe different color scheme and decals from 3rd-party even.
added photo etch part in head to show more details inside/ behind the green screen. Add lcd to see the effect. Started putting all the pieces together to test fit . Added…
Late to the party but still ready to rock. Safe to say that in the 9 years it’s been since the MG Blue Frame got released, either Bandai forgot about the MG Gold Frame or are gearing up for a P-Bandai release. The RG doesn’t do it for me so it’s time to give the 1/100 Gold Frame the Master Grade treatment.
Nose cone, wheel well doors, undercarriage fins primed, mottled and painted. Landing gear painted, but needs touch-up. Vertical stabilizers’ white strips & horizontal stabilizers’ heat shields re-done.
Exhaust nozzles primed, painted & weathered. I’d prefer to gloss coat everything except ordnance and let it cure for 1 week before a panel line wash & weathering.
Another update on the GM Sniper II. I needed to find a place to house the battery and switch unit for the led. There was no room I can find on the kit itself. So I scratched…
