Just a small update on one of my current builds and a HUGE thank you for everyone who helped steer me toward the RG line. The amount of detail in these kits is staggering and…
Gloss coat it and do a grey/black wash. You can get a ready wash paint from ex. Vallejo (love and hate those paints) or MIG.
Or you could do it yourself. Acrylic gloss coat and then dillute a emanel paint with zippo lighter fuel.
The Sword Impulse is done. This is my very first painted MG kit and it has some flaws but I like how it turned out. Definitely the most time consuming build I have done so far.
Epic box arrived today , im a sucker for a sale especially with all the 90% off bargains ! My boys birthday is next month so he will be getting some transformers. Also a…
PG chars zaku 2 wip. Finally got the eye to light up after much swearing at the wiring 🙂 slow progress due to work and other commitments but its a great build and highly recommended if you can get hold of one at a good price.
I was greeted earlier today with this little package. Clearly i took everyone’s advice and started collecting the RG line. Nothing says great day like a fresh batch of plastic on a day off. Now if there was only a new episode of hobbylink TV up, my day would be complete 🙂
Got those last parts top coated, finished the assembly and applied the water slide decals today. Everything is back apart and ready for one last spray of dull coat.
First, I sprayed them with a clear lacquer dull coat so my paints would stick. Next, I sprayed Tamiya clear red to change the original pink color.

I’m using some crappy acrylics but with pretty solid results. The light green is called palm leaf, the dark green is English ivy and the purple is purple pansy. They are cheap crafting acrylics, but i have been thinning them and getting them to work out for me. also I’m using krylon crystal clear acrylic top coat if you were curious.
The paints you are using for the copper look amazing and your weathering effects are quite breath taking. Air brush work im guessing? Can’t wait to see this kit finished.
Thank you. I used the dry brush technique and tamiya weathering master B for the weathering. I started off using the airbrush but found that I can get better detail on models this small using other methods
Great selection buddy!
Thanks Man!
