    Nice poses! I like the 3rd pic a lot. So subtle but deadly.

    I can’t wait to see the color scheme you have in mind.

  • Randall posted a new activity comment 10 years, 1 month ago

    Saw your posts and plans. If you’re planning to paint yours then I’m sure it’s better than mine. Let’s just hope after you paint you stay on the Beginner category. ^_^ Best of luck mate!

    I love Qant[T]

    Thank you @Jonathan. I’m just a beginner so I’m sure you can be that good and better.

    A wakening of the trailblazers. Yeah but I liked the series though but can’t resist the Qan[T] and I also have the other 3 from the movie (HG Raphael, Zabanya and Harute) but still not assembled.

    Yeah I should skip the gloss coat. Flat coat is still the bomb especially that I’m not painting my kits atm. Thanks @Bossguy I really appreciate it. I…[Read more]

    • Oh, you’re too kind. I’m a newbie myself. I’ve just collected knowledge of this hobby from experts and past experiences. I’m glad you share my 00 obsession! And yes, flat coat is the bomb!

    I used gloss topcoat on the clear parts. What I did here was that I sprayed gloss on all the parts first before I decaled and paneled then used Matt top coat on the external armors. It’s a very long process but I was trying to get used to spraying these coats. As you can see there are silvering on the foot when I did some touches with a red marker…[Read more]

    • I honestly can’t see the flaw from the pictures. Looks great to me. I think you should save yourself some money and skip the gloss coat next time. Panel lines and decals are fine on bare plastic. I wouldn’t skip with the gloss on the other parts of the kit, though, as it might create a different finish than on the leg you sprayed. The 00 Quanta…[Read more]

    Oh yeah I forgot to include that I finished the GN Drive with 2 green LEDs for the back and front. This is definitely gonna look awesome if it’s already attached to the chest / back.

    • Great work! I would build the limbs, then spray them. It will save you some topcoat, and the process will go much faster. Leave out the clear parts, though, because the topcoat will fog them up.

  • Work + Gunpla modeling = FUN!

    My first WIP of MG 00 Qan[T]! Obviously I’m new to this that I decided to finish the right leg first with the decals, panels and coat so I can gain more confidence to do the other parts. It’s like the right leg was the experiment if what I’m doing was right.

    • Look good! I still have my in the box but I totally agree, work + gunpla modelling = fun! It’s a good way to wind down after a busy and long day at work! Looking forward to seeing the finish kit! Good luck!

    Thanks! I’m actually having fun building it and sometimes forgot that I’m entering this for the competition. Built some parts without taking WIP pictures. Just a few and I’ll post some. I’m using Mr hobby Gloss and Matt for the top coats.

    I actually tried the HG 00 Raiser 4 years ago but didn’t use any tools, or panel or anything. I just used my hands to remove them from their runners and assembled it in 1 day. But this, I’m gonna level up with this. ^_^

  • Randall posted a new activity comment 10 years, 1 month ago

    Yeah I also bought 2 LED pieces for the front and back but waiting for it to arrive. I realized I need 2 LED pieces for this when I checked the manual. I still don’t know how to put them but I’m excited as well!! I’m gonna love this!

  • Hey guys! I’m very much new to this and when I was searching for stuff to buy I came across this competition. This will be my first competition and I’m still a total noob, like level 0. I’ll be doing panel lines, decals and maybe light modifications. No painting, just gloss and matt spray will be used (learned that after 3 weeks of research how t…[Read more]

    • Cool! First ever kit you’ll make is an MG? Have fun and enjoy building. Can’t wait to see this 😀

    • Cool choice mate. This is a very nice kit. I always like Gundam design from the 00 series. I heard that this kit was designed to be able to house a Gunpla LED. Did you bought the LED piece too?

    • Great choice. OO kits are always fun to build. This also happens to be my first Gundam kit I built. I’ve panel lined and stickerd and thats it. It’s hard to find a top coat thats not for spray gun in my neck of the woods. I hope you enjoy it. The big sword is a lot of fun to pose.
