A bit more of my in progress. finished up a good bit of black for the two color parts. Also some touch up on chrome, just have the last few black paintings. Then final assembly, and this time I won’t miss a joint like I have already done with one leg. So off to dreamland, and rested eyes to make my last push to the end. Good luck with the […] View
Not sure if this is the right thread for me to ask this but I am starting a custom painted kit bash and I was wondering how I would go about painting it? Should I build the kit then take it apart by sections and paint it area by area (eg: build kit then remove both legs, paint them, then remove both arms paint, then chest, paint etc) or should I…[Read more]
I think it totally depends on you, both methods works for me. If you’ve got the whole color scheme figured out you could do it in sections first.
Personally I snap build first, then figure out which colour goes where etc. Then disassemble/paint by sections (i.e. arm, torso etc). That’s just how I like to do kits. I know guys that build them in…[Read more]
This HGBF Sengoku Astray is for my son. He needs a unit to challenge his big bro’s Kampfer Amazing. Right now it is missing a mouthpiece because I still need to paint it. It also needs more panel lining, lots of painting, decals, and sharpening the Oni shield.
I’am placing this Pixel camo decals to my MG Zaku 2 and went well. For a beginner like me and without experience in customizing with paint then this decals is good for me.
The grand daddy of all Gundams is coming together bit by bit. It’s the Ver.2.0, liked it a bit more then the MG version of the RG, but that’s all just personal preference.
Next time some pictures of the completed model 😉
WOW!!!!!!!! looking awesome! you should’ve bought two kits so you could display one with just the frame and the amount of detail you’re putting into it. The completed kits is going to be a master piece man.
Thank you very much, you’re making me blush 🙂
Yes, it’s almost a shame to put the armor on the frame, hence I took a lot of pictures of it.
Fortunately the knees still shows some detailing, but maybe a kit with just half armored up is an idea…
Thanks again for your nice comment!
Hey. A friend introduced me to Gunpla and I recently acquired seven models all HG. They include Banshee Gundam, Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode, SD Lightning Gundam, Hi-Nu Vrabe Gundam, Zaku Amazing, Kampfer Amazing, Seven Swords /G (I think this is what it is called if it isn’t please let me know). Got tips or any comment free to share me. Thanks senpai!
Get yourself a good pair of side cutters and a design knife and enjoy yourself. Building Gundams is a lot of fun and you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment with each kit you finish.
and if you don’t want to paint your kits, a nice spray of matte top coat works wonders in making the kits less toy like. just make sure you shake the can well.
to add to Syd’s comment on feeling of accomplishment. for me since I like to watch the anime aswell,. I love posing the finished products in their iconic posses.
I second the recommendation for a good matte top coat, if the kit already comes with a healthy amount of decals (detail stickers) it really helps “seals them in” so to speak which looks way better as well.
Finished snap building this bad boy. Finally put the drei zwerg to use. This will get a full paint, water slide and battle damage treatment once I start to get the backlog cleared out
