The G-Self Display Base fully in color. It was a bit tricky to paint because it’s mostly molded in big size pieces. Some of the colors turned out to be a bit darker than I wanted. Nevertheless it looks pretty nice.
As promised. Here is the upper half of the Tallgeese EW version. Very fun to do the arms on this kit imo. Any tips on how to remove the nub scars on the hand though?
I am finding my self having trouble with them. or does the final coat hide these?
Looks great! There are a few ways of getting rid of nub marks. Some prefer to cut them off bit by bit with a knife, others sand them down with a course grid and work up to a finer grid.
If you get a slightly lighter shade on the plastic where the nub marks are, a clear coat will usually get rid of that. Be it a gloss or a flat coat.
Good luck and…[Read more]
Finished my HGUC The O. I installed an LED inside its backpack, made some chipping effects, applied some decals and attached some metallics parts to it. Hand painted with acrylic paints.

Yeah it was a bit of a process with a fair amount of cutting. I posted some more detailed pics of that process in this thread a little while ago. There is a full detailed WIP on my FB page if you are interested
Applied some LED and long exposure photo magic to my first Gundam model after a 12 year hiatus. I haven’t seen this effect applied elsewhere. What do you think?
Finally, here are some pictures of my completed PG Unicorn.
And as a special guest, I would like to introduce you to my first Gunpla, the PG Astray Red Frame. He is here for…
Thanks @Nick. If I’ll be building more PG’s in the future? Yes, I’m sure I will. I owe it to myself to build a RX-78 2. As he’s the granddaddy of them all. And put a Zaku II against him of course. But the choice is hard….. Love the Strike, but it shares the same frame as the Astray. Same with the Strike Freedom…
But how ’bout that Zeta. Or the…[Read more]
Building the MG Tallgeese EW version. Decided that I did not like the beige/grey parts of the kit so decided to make them black. Not the most original I know, but this is the first kit that I am painting… well painting. Using the real touch markers to do this, which surprisingly goes pretty well.
Great job! And painting is painting IMO, no matter how you do it. The best way making a kit the way you like it. Keep up the good work! Happy building!
awesome! Have fun building it :). Just finished the Right arm yesterday and plan on finishing the left one this evening. once both are done, I will post some pictures of it.
So this is how I managed to get the delta plus legs onto the sinanju stein waist with minimal loss of articulation. Also most of the leg frame is finished up at this point.
Painted cleaned up and assembled Takara Tomy’s DMK 03 Optimus prime from age of extenction. i used Metalic silver, deep blue and metalic red, and secondary colour done with…
Just finished my force impulse! Did a little bit of weathering and I love it. Everything about this kit comes together and that sword just makes it that much greater! Still have to flat coat it though. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can improve this or my next builds I would appreciate it! 😀
Yea I need to do thicker more apparent panel lines lol xD but I always do the decals and my picture choice his the best one lol xD I do appreciate the compliment though! 😀
