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
figure ill post some shots of what i have assembled so far. i think the colors are coming together nicely. Working on the shoulders now so by the end of the weekend i should have the upper half done.
actually its not blue, its a plum purple. hard to see with these pics, i need better lighting. nothing crazy on the weapons maybe some metallic accents and possible coloration shift on the beam weapons.
Hey there, I made a suggestion which no one has answered in my Q&A posting or with my original concept on here, I think if I attach a sketch image which I’ll clean up in GIMP…
RG Exia wip. going for a 3-tone inner frame. gunmetal, titanium, and metallic grey. sanded off visible seam lines when you put on the armor parts. hated the back of the knee seam line especially…
@drAInbAmAgE: thanks! it was a pain to sand indeed due to the plastic being the soft type like ABS maybe.
@Jaberwak: yes, i used airbrush to paint the frame. i made sure not to use lacquer paint as i was afraid it would melt the plastic they used for it. did a thin coat of primer to make sure the paint would stick better and just 2 coats of the…[Read more]
Waiting for the gloss to dry so i can get on the water slides and finish up these arms. While looking over the decal guide i noticed these area are depicted as grey, so i painted them to match and i think it came out well.
Just recieved this today from Samuel Decal. My first non bandai kit , but only because they havent made one yet . Really love this design , and the kit looks really good . I will take some pictures as i build it.
i like what you did with this kit, a lot! especially that weathering (the oil/rust staining from the hinge points on the shield: awesomeness!) its those kind of details which make a kit look more life-like that i enjoy the most. i hope to make such skills my own, one day. excellent work!
Thank you. It took awhile. I worked on it off and on for so it’s hard to say. But probably a few months. Most of that time was all the work on the frame that doesn’t show
More work on the arms. Need a touch up on the purple and one more part to assemble before i can get the first top coat on and move on to the water slides. Hopefully i can finish the arms in the next day or so.
I’ve moved onto the weapons pack. It’s a combination of a Frame Arms kit, a GN Arms type-E, an EX-S, a Sword Impulse backpack, and the stock Buster Cannons.
So just finished this wirh the crossbone maoh and the shull weapons set. Dident go as i had originally planed wasen able to get it to have six hands so had to keep the…
Thanks @Nick, funny you should mention that since i really didn’t think about it before i chose the paint scheme, lucky for me it worked out. But you got me thinking about the color scheme im debating about for my nu-gundam Ver Ka and if the water slides will get lost in the color. Since there are 2 color water slides for that kit im going to have…[Read more]
It’s looking great, the greens go really well with the blue. Do you have any special plans for the weapons and shield?
actually its not blue, its a plum purple. hard to see with these pics, i need better lighting. nothing crazy on the weapons maybe some metallic accents and possible coloration shift on the beam weapons.
