Well here it is. I wasn’t able to finish it as fully as I wanted, but this is what I’ve got. The name is inspired by a part of the process where I accidentally discovered that I’d be able to do something interesting with the paint, as well as my original designs;
Shortly after taking pictures I messed up part of my kit. Scratched the shoulder while posing it with the shield, bent the antennae and one of the arms got really lose. :/
Painted gunpla should be handled like newborns. No jokes. Don’t touch the mods. Also, if possible, use lacquer + top coats to protect the paints. Even better, sand/polish EVERY panel.
Oh man, it’s like Christmas! After 2 and a half months, Gourai Type 10 is finally painted and ready, and not a moment too soon! Without further ado, I present to you my f…
Looks great! Really clean build!
Did you paint the skin parts or only top-coated them? Waiting for my Innocentia to arrive but I am really afraid to painting skin and yours looks perfect.
Thanks! Yeah, I was afraid of painting the skin too, so I decided I’d just top coat it. I’m glad I did, though, because it turned out looking great, no paint required! I also welded the seams on her thighs with tamiya thin cement, and that went a long way toward making them look natural. I definitely recommend seam welding any flesh parts, just…[Read more]
It definitely looks great. Noted all, it would be my first articulated kit so all the tips help, I usually build military vehicles, but her smugness was too much to ignore and decided to give it a try, also got a pair of little armory AKs, they are compatible right?
Any recommendations for using Mr. Topcoat, I am getting the same one ASAP, the…[Read more]
All the Little Armory weapons work with FA:Gs. That rifle in the pics is the LA Type 89 assault rifle, and it comes with Gourai Type 10 (since it’s an assault rifle used by the JSDF). Their hands are flexible and rubbery so they can hold a lot of handheld weapons, including stuff meant for gundams or others.
Excellent! I’ll take all that into account. Thanks man.
It’s pretty cool she is modeled around the JGSDF’s MBT, painted on JGSDF camo and wields their issued assault rifle, great work!
well its finally here. the last day. sorry about the lack of activity but life and school got in the way. the kit has been done for a month an a half but here is my completed…
The stickers for leg thrusters appear too flat, so I added all of those details by hand. That I think is what I am most proud of. While in this stage I also added the final touches, from panel lining to decals. I didn’t add any of the special decals to the weapons– I felt like I didn’t need them.
Hello! I’ve meant to post sooner so I’ll have to add what I can in one go. This is my Psycho Zaku, which I had planned from the beginning to build with as few stickers as…
The shoulder spikes were gold, I changed to orange to try and match up with the main body. Black trim and shoulder thrusters are also done by hand. They look ugly at first but easily get swallowed up as the kit comes together.
