HG 1/100 Tallgeese III: my 2nd painted kit after learning a lot from my first try. after this one, i think i’ll plan for more color separation. i was blindly following the manual photos.
i know right! was too late… this was already a work in progress when they released the MG tallgeese. but then again, i don’t have enough experience to mod and kitbash a MG and a HG lol this took me awhile when i took a long break from frustration after i made a mistake on the panel line wash and scraped off paint on a part entirely…
Hey, its nothing wrong following the colors on the manual. I like the original designs and colors, so I paint most of my gundam kits according to the color on the manual. 🙂
lol yes, nothing wrong. it’s just after i finished this, it was just all white it seemed. just applied to this model i guess as all the others have pretty good color variety and separation.
First time building old hg kit. The numbers of seam lines drove me crazy and the color seperation is just soso, The finanl result turns out not exactly what i want , i might say its a failure for me but i still love it!
Thanks =D I used all alclad paints.
For the red I used:
Alclad Gloss Black base coat
Alclad Chrome 1-2 thin coats
Alclad Transparent Red 1 thin coat and 1 heavy coat.
Alclad Aqua Clear for the finish.
Inner Frame:
Alclad Steel.
Gold Pieces:
Alclad Pale Gold
Alclad Aqua Clear for the gloss finish and protection.
Im not sure how i missed this post for so long but im very glad i found it. That is quite an impressive build. Do you feel the metal parts kit you used was worth it? not a criticism, im inquiring because i was on the fence about getting one for my build and i decided against it. It looks great with your metallic high gloss paint job there. Very nice work.
Hi, cant really remove the nub marks since I want to retain the original gold. I sprayed a coat of gloss over the gold parts, somehow it makes the nub marks less obvious.
All right, it was a long-long way 😀 . Finally I can say that my Jigabachi AV model is finished. I added a few modifications to the model and quite glad how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it. And you can see more photos in my profile.
you should buy a mg tallgeese kit then you can convert it to a tallgeese 3 MG 😀

I tried it a while back its pretty straight forward if you ever get the chance you should give it a go. here is a link to my photo http://www.hobbylink.tv/members/sparta112/media/30644/
