@Big Rich – Looking good dude. Suggestion for taking the picture – not sure what type of camera you’re using – if it has the option, set it to “Single Point Focus” (so what’s in the centre of the frame automatically is the focal point).
Another option for taking close ups better, is, if you have the option to use Macro Mode (designed for shooting…[Read more]
Thanks for the advise. To be honest I’m only using a camera on a smart phone, the Sony Xperia S. It’s got a good little camera, but it is what it is.
What I’ve been doing is holding the camera close to the chrome barrels and slowly backing up. NO ZOOM!
I’m pretty sure I use single point focus but I will check. As for macro mode, that is…[Read more]
Currently building the HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 01. I haven’t done anything extreme to the kit except for adding those square molds from Kotobukiya. My biggest problem that I…
Kapool is done. Im not to proud how the missile launchers came out. Tried doing rain marks (to make them look natural is super hard and i fear i failed :()
Dude, that is some fantastic-looking rust !
End result is quite effective, in my opinion.
How did you execute that ? Multiple layers of paint, or weathering powders, etc. ?
(repeat of comment on first image)

1) created texture with poly cement
2) primer
3) layer of rust paint (Valleyo Model Air light rust)
4) added some brown paint with sponge on some places (next time ill definitely add way more)
5) clear paint coat
6) coat of hair spray
7) pre shading
8) main color layer (after it dried use a brush with water to chip the paint
9) another clear coat…[Read more]
syd that goofy thing on hip to cover the hole at exia’s hip is actually a sword holster. it swings out and the sword pegs into it then it can just hang at his side.
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…
They don’t sell those posters because those are promotional posters that they got from Bandai. But sometimes they’ll do a mini contest where you could win one those.
Basically, every MG past 2002 is pretty good so you just need to pick a suit that you like the looks of and go from there.
If you want info on a specific kit you’re thinking about, just ask here.
I also like RG Destiny…
Have you tried RG GP01 Full Burner???
I think it’s a nice kit…
Now I’m curious for RG exia…
Anyway for MG, I guess you might have to try wing series…
I really like Wing Gundam hehe…
But that’s just me hehe…
Hi, that’s a simple but nice-looking diorama. I like it 1
Just one suggestion : Maybe add a satin/matt coat when you’re done, to make things look less plastic-y ?
I use the HG grade marasai. Well for diorama it would be step by step…from plaster cover to color and put a lot self made terrain vege and of coz weathering tools
That’s awesome! Excellent work, warlordGunpla !
Really love the effect of the muddy terrain going up the legs.
Just one thing I noticed though – and technically doesn’t really matter, and I’m sure you take it into account – for “realism” consider how things work at the scales we’re working at. In this case, they’re in the 20m-high range, so muddy…[Read more]
thanks. and you didn’t have to nitpick, but since you did. I put a wash on the foot thrusters but didn’t do anything else since once its displayed or standing they wouldn’t be seen
HGCC Turn A gundam: All done with the Turn A. Very happy with how this kit turned out. Gave me some headaches here and there but overall it was a good experience. It was nice…
Trim the moustache. All HG kits due to safety regulation cannot have sharp edges. All HG kits have extra plastic on the v-fins. Just use x acto knife or sand paper to remove it.
Looks really good. Built this kit for my dad as a birthday give and really wanted to keep it for myself! Getting one this month with the restock. This kit really does deserve MG version down the road.
Wow!
Thanks mate, but you should see it with the metallic pigment!
