If you are refering to the joints, you can have this with Bandaikits too. Especially, if they have to hold heavy shields and weapons. Also that it is no Bandaikit it is of a great quality. The mold is top and there is nothing falling appart, when assembled. Even after several coats of paint I just had to sand 2 parts to make em fit again. Sure,…[Read more]
Maybe next time try this: thin black, more medium gray, and mostly white camo. From head to toe, black, gray, white patterns like water waves or straight lines or digits (blocks). Hard edges are ok.
Hi there, im sure this seems like a silly question but could someone tell me what all three of the colors listed for the reddish/pink are. I can assume red and white are written there but im not sure what the third would be and want my paint to be aa similar as i can make it to the original color.
First of all thanks to both of you for replying, and if anyone else ever needs help with a color translation like this click on fuggers link above, it has Gundam color translations as well as Macross and Kotobukiya kits as well.
Thanks again.
well nearly done my 3rd painted kit and i wanted a shiny sazabi. thought about doing this kit for the plamo comp, but glossy sazabis are pretty common on the net so i tried something different………now for 200 friggin decals
Wasn’t able to finish my entry due to bad weather but I will still post my final pictures so as to finish what I started. Next time hope I am able to submit my work, lol.
It’s actually a glossy lacquer finish. On the pics it looks semi glossy because I chose specific angles to show the iridescent effect as much as possible.
Yeah, I think I should start working on a gunpla as from now itself and do crazy mods to it but keep all the pics secret. When there’s another competition, I’ll be ready then, hihihi.
As long as I don’t post any pics online, I think it should be alright, lolz. To be honest, I think the 4 months are more than enough to build any kits with great modifications. I was the one who waited the last minute. I wanted to work on a 2nd RG Sinanju and was waiting for replacement parts that never became available. And I never really was…[Read more]
i saw it as more as a challenge to do something different. the fact i finished something worth posting (despite the maddening frustration) was an achievement. I actually liked looking at what other do and it has helped my next build. I wouldn’t get too hung up about prizes but they were a good incentive…..im more pissed that after the results…[Read more]
Français ici ! Yeah I’m starting to be a bit anxious about the results. I think I did OK, but I saw some pretty good builds in the WIP posts and I’m not sure where I stand. that was a race to the deadline though, not sure I’d like to do that again.
Yeahhh ! (^_^)/
Je te comprends ! La date limite qui se rapproche, ta maquette n’est pas encore terminée engage un grand stress et encore plus quand il y a une galère dessus >< Mais ce genre de concours te permet d'être plus productif, imaginatif et ça vide ton stock en kits :p Du moins dans mon cas ^^ "
En tout cas ton kit est vraiment bie…[Read more]
What was planned, as an simple paintjob over a weekend, turned into a decent build, that takes me two weeks by now. Can’t tell what all went wrong with this thing. From a…
I forgott to mention that I avoided masking after that first try and sparyed everything freehand and I did this with the 0.4 needle, that I use for cleaning, installed in the 0.2 setup of my spraygun. And I wondered, why I had to clean the nossle after each part and controlling the colorflow was so difficult…
there is agentle,wathering on it, thats why I primed with black and put a silver coat under the actual basecolor. I went over all the edges with sanding paper. It is a very gentle weathering, but thats how it suoposed to be. If I feel like adding some scraches on the flat surfaces I will just scratch it, but this is sokething that is done on the…[Read more]
I haven’t posted anything or even been here for close to 2 years I think and have barely built anything in that time. But recently decided to dig into my closet of shame and…
well might as well post me pics that i submitted. anyone else that hasnt already posted their final stuff wanna give it a show?…. i like seeing how people make the most of…
We’re just anxious about who wins. I’m not holding my breath. I have a number of winners in mind. Given gunpla is the bread and butter, I’m guessing the gunpla entries will snag half of the awards. That’d be no surprise.
Hi, this is my last work : 1/72 Me262 Messerschmitt from Academy, modified with a retro SF touch inspired by the video game Battle Garrega. Add some mecanical parts and weapons as canon from 1/72 tank, tail canon, laser pods … Hope you’ll like it !
If you’ve been doing pre-shading panel lines for a while, you might wanna try something new out. Black basing. Youtube has a few clips. It’s more work. Prime black then shoot worm-like lines in various grays, and lastly thinned color coats. The goal is to NOT have a uniform coverage. More realistic.
Thank you SO much ! I was recently wondering how this kind of effect was done ! So this is called black basing, it seems to be a simple but efficient technic ! I must try it 😀
Plum ain’t exactly Bandai. BTW, a freaking creative color scheme. You could swap the color scheme out for another and have a totally different look.
