1/144 Takemikazuchi Type-00A – fully painted, this kit requires a fair amount of masking and detailed brush painting, it’s actually harder than making an MG in my opinion.
It was a tiny spot of gaia fluorescent paint, so a composite picture that stacked a normal photo, and another photo with UV light shined on it to reflect the blue light. 1/144 Takemikazuchi doesn’t have too much room for even a 1.5mm LED.
ya 1/144 is quite difficult with many parts requiring reverse wash and small spots to hand painting, the shoulder, stomach, fists, feet and waist section came entirely white so had to do a lot of reverse wash like sinanju gold trims.
This is my progress so far on my Mg Sandrock. This is the first gundam model I have ever painted! (apart from my Mg exia which I clear coated last week). Thought there was a bit too much white on Sandrock, so decided to add some sand colour. What do ya think? Lining, stickers, flat coat and maybe some silver scratches to come!
Got to say this Dark of the Moon Bumblebee was the most complicated Takara Tomy kit I’ve ever built. All parts were factory colored, the inner frame was factory built & the markings were factory applied. I repainted most everything except the body & clear parts, panel lined, weathered & sealed the kit with different sheens of clear coats.
This Metal Armor Dragonar Type 2 Custom Dragonar was engineered the same way as Type 1, the white one I built. No putty, sanding, priming & shading. I airbrushed, masked, panel lined, weathered & sealed the kit.
Another Metal Armor Dragonar by Bandai is similar to non grade or first grade. This kit was snap fitting & color molded with stickers & polycap joints. Limited articulation. Individual fist for each weapon. I built first, applied putty, sanded, primed, airbrushed, masked, shaded, panel lined, weathered & sealed the kit.
finally started up the sazabi paint job the back pack isnt painted btw only that propellent every thing is painted though i just couldnt resist not putting that on just to see…
I recently finished Gundam Build Fighters Try and I am really obsessed with the concept of Gunpla battling. So obsessed, that I have decided to build my build fighters’ kits with the thought of using them for battle.
I want to build my kit in the mind set of a fighter but, I need your help. From what I got from the…[Read more]
yes, I hand painted it with a gold paint . . . and I don’t recommend it because its difficult to hand paint small details, I recommend reverse wash technique for this . . .
Totally awesome splatter paint job!
Did you install an LED in the head as well? it really pops in this picture. Great work, this looks astounding!
thanks 🙂 wasted so much red and black paint during the process

wow great effort on a 1/144 kit , I prefer the none scale which is 1/100 i believe
