Here is my MG Gouf Custom so far. Planning on doing some weathered paint work on this guy, especially since he looks a little plain compared to current MGs. He awkardly says hello to the world:)
A few weeks ago I posted a wip of the plamo I am working on to make my custom spartan armour, and now I have it primed and ready for clean up and filling.
lol thanks! this was a cheap organizer i found at the tacklebox section for fishing at the big box store. i bought all 3 sizes and this biggest one was originally intended as my upright paint bottle organizer (4 rows when the dividers are removed) but later found a better paint organizer. it was a metal grill cutlery organizer which i figured was…[Read more]
I’ve always liked desert camo. I thought it would look good on the Mark II. I also just wanted a Gundam model that wasn’t so brightly colored, but a little more muted.
It’s a great idea IMHO! Had to look at it a few times, and I have to say, it looks better and better the more I look at it. It’s also a very original color scheme.
If I may, it’s like a fine wine, you have to acquire a taste for it, but once you do, you’ll appreciate it more and more over time!
Good luck and happy building!
missile pods?
nah, how bout beam reflector funnels… (if only i knew what the heck i was doing when it comes to hand painting; i suck at that game)
they’ll eventually be…
Looks fine from here. It looks like the back of the missile pods have some wear to them, so you could have fooled me. So it’s not bad hand painting, it’s an awesome painting job with weathering 😉
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get that cool effect on the red at the front of the pods? Looks really great!
thanks for saying so! as long as no one looks at them too closely & realizes that ‘weathering’ effect is just a fluke, i guess i could go with that. the red on the front are actually jewel pieces made by HiQParts. they can be found on hlj (http://www.hlj.com/product/HQPVCDOME-R/Sci). first time i’ve used them, and i’ve gotta say i like the look…[Read more]
Hi guys. Just to be sure, you can’t put acrylic over enamel right? I have Mr Hobby Top coat gloss and an enamel chrom paint bottle. Despite the fact that the top coat is acrylic based, could I use it to coat my enamel chrome coat?
Yes, you can put an acrylic on top of an enamel. The enamel paint is the stronger of the two. But to make it a bit more confusing, you can even put an enamel on top of an acrylic. As long as the acrylic has been fully cured.
Good luck and happy building
