Bandai’s already making limited edition Gunpla for Gundam SEED Destiny. Although it would be nice to see an MG Legend Gundam or MG Nobel Gundam, I would rather that Bandai continue making MGs from Gundam X. To get MGAW established is, at least to me, more important than adding mobile suits of series than already have a history with the Master…[Read more]
Perosnally i think seed has been a bit too used up buy now and i would love to see some more mg come out of the UC line like a geara zulu or a zozen zulu in anime acurat coller would be best and icing on the preverbial gunpla cake would be a MG DEVAL GUNDAM
This is more of a random observation, but has anyone else ever noticed that the beam being shot out of the Strike Freedom’s combined, long-range beam rifle appears to be continuing onto Epyon’s poster? I know the […]
I thought you were already in the intermediate modelers section? Why are you posting here, if you’re not a beginner? 😛 Haha, anyway, that looks sweet!
Weathering requires a bit more care – there’s got to be some logic to it, and it’s important not to overdo it. The “splotchy” appearance could be taken as paint chipping, but if so it’s very extensive and a bit inconsistent, as the weathering doesn’t apply to the markings or to some of the panels.
Hi! Thanks for your observations. Could you explain me more in detail what do you meand by “splotchy” pointing at the pictures above? Airbrush was very clean and thinning seemed perfect and (almost) every effect was intentional, except for some panel lining gone bad on the rear leg–see previous post).
What was my mistake?
The dark shading on the green parts – if it’s meant to be shading, it’s not a smooth gradient, it’s made up of a bunch of little dots.
If the idea is that this is a paint chipping effect, that could work, but it seems overdone perhaps… And if the paint is chipped or discolored, then the markings and insignia should also be chipped or…[Read more]
I agree, the panels with no shading at all stand out too much. They could be battlefield replacement armor parts, even then I think they need a little weathering so they don’t contrast so much.
The rest of it looks like it’s been through some combat and seen some battlefield repair and paint jobs done with what they have in the field.
Just a few close-ups after doing more minor weathering. The last two are a little blurry, but I guess that’s a good way to keep any bit of suspense till the finale? 😀
Interesting. Have you ever thought about kitbashing the 1/100 V2 with the MG Victory Ver. Ka? If you don’t care about the assault, buster, or assault-buster, it should be an easy enough modification. 🙂
I don’t know. I don’t have any experience on kitbashing lol, and from what I know from building the MG victory, I don’t think it’ll be easy. It’s really a flimsy kit with lots of moving parts.
I know, right? This hobby has set me back at least $400 this year…but it’s so fun! Bandai still hasn’t made any MG from the X series or a Tallgeese III, so if all of that is next year…I’ll be broke. x)

I really agree on you on for Gundam X. It is really underrated. I hope they will release more MGs from this universe.
