my first RG build
Gundam Exia
I didn’t do all of the stickers/decals cause it felt like it’s overkill
it was an overwhelming experience because of the many small parts but at the end it’s all worth it
It can be a little tricky because you’ll have to paint the frame in one position, then move it (to expose more pieces) then paint it again.
Hand painting is okay for this but you have to be sure to paint very thin. You may want to sand down parts a bit.
Because of the multiple colors on the Astray spray painting with rattle cans could be difficult…[Read more]
Hey guys! Im new to this group, though i wanted to ask which rgs are recommended. I have built the exia and the mk II, but i would like to try the zgok…
If you like the suit, go for it. Zgok is definitely unique in design and articulation. I think you can never go wrong as long as you’re a fan of the suit.
The Z’Gok is one of my favorite RGs, you won’t go wrong with it.
Aside from that I really enjoyed the Zeta, Strike Freedom and Destiny. (Not everyone likes the Zeta as it’s quite fiddly and delicate).
I’m looking forward to that new RG frame, it looks like a fun build. Hopefully we’ll see a Blue Frame Second L and Gold frame Amatsu as regular releases, though I feel like we’re going to see plenty of P-Bandai variations coming out.
Over all; looking forward to it 😀
As I love the Astray Red Frame (First Gunpla was the PG version), it might be my first RG. Always looking through the RG line-up and never can’t decide which one to pic as my first one, this might be the one for me
I can’t wait. I’ve never built a red frame, but my favorite HG is my gold frame Amatsu. So I’m excited, I love RGs and am interested in working with the new unique frame mold
I’m super excited, I have to say that, that mobile suit is what made me really fall in love with gundam. Lol plus it will be my first rg, I’ve built the no grade red frame so I’m excited to see the difference.
Would anyone happen to know what metallic paints could be used to achieve this finish? I have been researching and I seem to cannot find any concrete information on achieving…
You should look into doing a silver coat of paint and then going over it with a clear color paint like clear blue I’ve done it with tamiya paints and it works ok there’s a video on gunplay tv about it too a early episode
I’ve seen that! That is a titanium finish. What I want is the metallic finish. The one with the metallic flakes in the paint that make it look glittery. Thank you for your suggestion though. I love the titanium finish too!! 😀
What ive done is base coat silver then clear blue for the blue parts and clear red for the red parts then i put a clear pearl coat ive used tamiya ts-65 on everything and that gives u those sparkly bits
