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
Building the MG Unicorn. Painted all the white armor parts with a light coat of pearl to add a little more character to them, can’t really tell in the pictures though. It’s been a really fun build so far

Getting back to the Epyon with all the wing parts waiting to be primed and the rest of the mech taken apart. Starting a final touch-up paint and last minute panel lines before…
Hi, that’s a simple but nice-looking diorama. I like it 1
