After a few moths debating, finally got the main colour figured out, now the cleaning, sanding and such can begin. The inner frame is done, added some Builders Parts verniers…
teetee, that frame is looking pretty sweet and the contrast with the gold thrusters makes it even better. Do you prime when you paint the internal frames?
I also got those verniers from the builders parts. Really like where you placed them. Cant wait to see how the whole build turns out.
I do prime the frame before painting, using Alclad’s primer. As I dry-fit the joints, I see where a layer of paint might get too thick and sand the parts that would rub against each other. This wat moving the joints won’t scratch the paint up. I used a few primers and this is the only way to making sure there will be no paint rubbing…[Read more]
This should of gone into the competition, unless you posted it somewhere else on the internet. The battle damage is awesome. Congrats! In a weeks time I will be posting my Merkava diorama at 1/72 scale. I would have entered it into the competition as well but I had been posting the progress reports on my blog – major bummer!
Second Two of Iron Blooded Orphans is just around the corner and as such, Bandai has reveal the new Gunpla/MS design for the next season. I will be definitely be picking up a few of these guys.
im going to commend u on showing us a pic organizing all those parts. lol i usually just put same color parts in one box dump em on a table and start assembling it after painting. but good job on this
Thanks! I usually keep them in a box with containers, organized by body part or color section. But funny story, as I was putting all together for the photo, I realized a shoulder part was missing. I went to search for it and found it under my desk, if wasn’t for the photo I may have lost that piece forever!
Not really, the paint cured very well, its very hard. (there is Tamiya L primer underneath), when you move the joints the paint wont scratch or peel off. Of course there is a very little spot on each joint with no paint, but you cant see it because is in the bottom or underneath the frame armor.
