Hello there.
Me, I only build MG’s and PG’s so I’m a bit spoiled when it comes to seam lines, so I spray all the pieces before assembly. However, on a few older MG’s there are some nasty joints in the head. What I do is paint the face plate, the in- and outside of the cheek plates, glue the head with the face plate in place together and then fill…[Read more]
Update on the progress, I have managed to fit most of the Fenice Rinascita parts onto the frame arms girl stylet.
currently deciding on a colour scheme for her,
Thanks it took me a day to figure how to fit the parts, some parts had to be cemented a few modified then cemented, but most of it is still removeable.
I am am fairly sure you can fit the Fram arm parts onto the FA: Girls it wouldn’t be too much trouble considering they are very similar I think it should be a easy kit bash.
What paint would you guys recommend for painting an inner frame gunmetal, I’m thinking between doing a dark high gloss finish or a lighter matte finish with silver dry brushing.
I myself use an automotive paint, decant it and put it straight trough the airbrush. I’ve used Alclads Gun Metal in the past once and although it was a great paint in terms of spraying and looks, it wasn’t worth it for me.

Thanks, I never thought about decanting but that should open up more options for me since I’m a little hesitant to use a laquer like alclad, maybe when I have more money and experience I’ll give it a whirl.

After much consideration I think I will attempt to convert this frame arms girl into gundam feince rinascita girl!
did a very quick sticky tack modification,This is what I…
Doing some painting on my MG Shenlong. While I generally like the simplicity of the kit, I really didn’t like the blue, yellow and red colours. Very bright and toy-looking, so I’m trying to change that, and give him a tattoo while I’m at it:)
Still have to take and post pictures of the RX-78-2 2.0 and the Zaku II 2.0 (still have to apply oil paints and such), but here is a picture of the next MG.
Anyone that can guess which one it is?
Thank… The warm yellow is actually orange bit with the light it looks almost yellow. As soon as I’m done with it I’ll post finished pictures on completed gunpla.
This looks awesome, you did a good job, my friend is buying me this kit for Cmas and i can not wait for it now even more!
Sweet:) It’s a lot of fun. Just trying to decide how to paint mine.
