After a lot of setbacks on the MG Destiny, I decided to take some time off on it and started working on the MG Hi-Nu. The frame is done in Alclad Gun Metal. The white and…
Hi @Nick, yes, it’s the Ver.Ka. On other kits you’ve seen, I think the waterslides don’t show that good is because they aren’t painted. The purple doesn’t deviate much from the purple that’s on the kit, but as you may have seen on some photo’s, that turns out really blue, maybe that’s the reason the waterslides don’t show that well on an unpainted kit.
Well, I haven’t posted any updates for a good 5 months now so I’ll just make a mega update of what I’ve been doing up until now :D.
In total I made 8 kits, the HG G-Self, RG…
My 1/2400 Zanzibar. This kit had been sitting around collecting dust so I decided to finish it finally. Its a great kit for only 2 dollars and some change. Some size comparisons with my 1/2000 Musai and a preview for whats in works.
Bad lighting and poor camera quality are the main cause. Better resolution pics on my FB page. I hear what you are saying about the decals blending into the background on clear kits, but i really enjoy the effect it gives.
Just finished my hi-nu ver ka ,I was going to change the color but kept it because I don’t have purple kits , did pretty much a straight build with panel lining and some 3rd party waterslides
It’s not working for me either I can post comments but not pictures I’m trying to put pics of my hi nu ver ka I just finished but its not working I can’t add picture in any group
I need to get a better camera to do the full photo shoot of the Z Tank.
After all that painting the tank some parts became rather brittle (managed to break the left shoulder guard peg and the back pack mount.
I just recently finished my RG Mk-II. Instead of the original color scheme, I decided to try the original, typical lead Gundam color scheme which I think looks nice, but the dark blue look is probably better. It is also my first time playing with Tamiya weathering pigments. Might have been a bit over done, but definitely learned a lot!
I just finished my 2 NG 1/144 SUMOs from Turn A Gundam. I want to show them off but I can’t upload them, so I’ll have to post a link. If I can unload more in the sure I will. This is only part 1 of my SUMO…[Read more]
Thanks mate.
There were two in the show, but I got two with the intention of repainting one yellow. But then a found a yellow one and bought it. I was going to do something with the extra white one but was too lazy.
You should watch Turn A. It’s very slow to start but once you give it a chance it’s a great series.
Ok. Zaku tanks needs just a flat coat to finish it (hopefully). Here is some sneak preview of one of the few decals on the kit (the kit uses 7….).
From left:
Just after applying decals (well few hours after that). The decals look unnatural.
Next is “destroying” the decal to blend better with the rest of the shield.
Last is picture after next…[Read more]
I tried to do what i was using on the 3rd party decals from Samuel which was using the wooden tooth picks sharp end to gently scrap the decals portions of.
Well with those Bandai decals it was a bit harder to do it but with a bit more energy i managed to scratch the parts i wanted to be off.
Also i did a massive screw up on one decal. Used yours…[Read more]
weird reaction. there must be sodium or another ion in the decalfix that formed an acetate salt. using more vinegar was the best thing to dissolve it. Thanks for the tip on the decal damage and keep up the top notch work
