It was mostly a fun build, and at the end, I just built towards the transform mode I wanted to display in. The end result looks pretty good so I’m happy.
The recipe for the metallic blue is: Tamiya Gunmetal, Createx transparent blue, Tamiya clear blue.
The Tamiya gunmetal I used wasn’t very well mixed and was coming out quite bright, so you might want to go with a aluminum or similar to achieve the bright blue effect. You can see what better mixed gunmetal looks like on the sides of the legs where…[Read more]
thanks I actualy use gun metal alot, but I never tought of applying clear coats over it, I usually do silver chrome and clear colours over it, (i think it’s called candy finish) but that gives the illusion of tinted glass instead of a metallic colour. ill try your technique on the future, thanks for the tip!
Yes, it’s very much like a candy coat, but with darker results with less bling. I also do the clear Tamiya colours over the Createx pearl colours which also produces a great result. You can see that on the red pieces on this kit.
amazing, I have allways wanted the 1/72 VF-0C and the VF-0s with ghost from hasegawa, but those are long gone and it doesn´t seem likely that theyll release them again
As they have reissued the armored VF0S some time ago, they’ll surely issue again the 0C in some time…
Have a 0D in stock, but as Arcadia announced the 1/60 one, I won’t build it no more !
Lol nope. Just a weapom rack that came with System Weapon 005, but you probably get ome with the other omes. I used it because it was convenient.
The swords however are, spemt about 12 hours making these 2 blades, plus time fitting the hilts and adapting the armour Schneider sheaves it allow the swords to fit.
The technical stuff.. The metal I am using is an alloy called Gilding Metal, which is a high copper content brass. It has far greater plastic qualities to that of ordinary brass, which tends to be quite brittle, with similar properties to that of silver and gold, for which it is used as a much cheaper alternate.
I am cutting it using a piercing…[Read more]
Was an HG Sengoku, now it’s Spidastray… I am making the sword blades out of gilding metal, so when finish and polished should look shiney. (hopefully no fire stain)
Thanks…
Just stick at it buddy, won’t take forever. Your builds look pretty darn solid from what I can see. You have to let your imagination run riot, and think outside of the Gundam Box abit. Plus I am a better builder than finisher.
First off, thanks for posting your work here – it is an honour. Secondly, your piece might be a ‘false god’, but it certainly is a ‘true work of imagination!’
All 31 kit there, nice ) I’m looking for a way to get the Hong Kong color clear Strike Freedom at the moment. And I’m also thinking that I’ll have to get a 2nd Exia because the gentei set for Exia Repair will require part replacement.
