    It’s a beautiful kit! Are you going to panel line with a Gundam marker or an enamel wash? 🙂

    • Yeah men I’m going to panel line it, with brown gundam marker, the store here does not have a black one,, I’m thinking enamel wash but it kind a expensive men, there’s brush to buy and thinner that’s why I have no choice but 2 buy the brown one 🙂

    Hmm, I haven’t built any of the Wing kits, so I may hold off on that in favor of the Proto Zero. :3

    • I have the proto zero on pre-order. Can’t wait for it to become available xD

      • I should really do that soon, but my current X-2 project is sucking away the entirety of my ‘leisure budget.’ D:

        • Bandai puts quite a dent on my wallet this year (T.T) A lot of my favorite kits are coming out this year lol.

          • 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)

            • Yep. I’ve lost count on how much I’ve spent this year. xD The MGs I’m waiting for are the Double X and V2 gundam.

              • 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.

    The Cherudim Gundam Designer’s Color Verrsion is a no grade. Thus, its LED isn’t meant to fit in MGs. I would just buy the two-pack green ones from HLJ to save yourself the trouble of modification (especially if you want it to fit properly in Cherudim, should you decide that).

    Sounds good, man! How are you liking the build so far? I’ve always been interested in the Wing Zero Custom, but have always opted to buy others whenever I can. :/

    • The build is good. A sturdy kit IMO, and it also comes with a base. If you’ve built the wing ver. ka/EW before it’s 80% the same, with the difference being the wings, rifles, and some parts on the arms. The downside is, since it’s a 2004 kit the old MG hands kinda sucks holding the rifle (based on wing EW that I’ve built) since it doesn’t have pegs.

    I’m also doing it for fun, so think of it this way: you want to challenge yourself and see how you’ll stack up with everyone else! Don’t worry about how everyone else is doing, because all that matters is a final product you’re proud of. Best of luck! 😀

  • Justin posted a new activity comment 10 years, 7 months ago

    Looking forward to it! I’m assuming they’ll all be lacquer, if memory serves me right Gaia Notes paints are lacquer-based.

    • Thanks! 😀 Yep, I’ll be using lacquer based paints for most of them.

    Great idea! 😀 How do you plan on making the parts gold? Grey primer, silver, then clear yellow?

    • I’ll be using multiple shades of gold, and one of them will be made the way you mentioned. 😀 The others are gaianotes starbright brass & gold.

    Aww man. :/ Well, think of it this way: model-building isn’t as looked down upon as collecting action figures in most societies. People are more impressed by something you can build, rather than something you can simply buy in its finished form.

    Also, I haven’t been sold on the lacquer paints either. I’m an avid user of enamel paints, since they…[Read more]

  • Justin posted a new activity comment 10 years, 7 months ago

    Just as impressive, if not even more so than your other works! I can’t wait to see how you’ll paint this. 😀

    • Color is already complete, same goes with the Carbon fiber decal part. Now I still thinking should I mask and spray the ‘M-power’ logo or do a custom decal… >.<
      Thank you very much… 🙂

  • Justin posted a new activity comment 10 years, 7 months ago

    It’s all right. 🙂 I was thinking of making the 3.0 hands smaller, but’s a lot of unnecessary work that would probably diminish the usefulness of their design. Just for kicks, I put sticky putty in to connect the 3.0 joint to the hand and well…it looks terrible. 😛

    Just wondering: are you going to use custom decals for this beauty?

  • Justin posted a new activity comment 10 years, 7 months ago

    • If I understand correctly, X2 and al of the Crossbone GunPla in general are about the same suze as the Victory/F91 Gundams so I’d say that the 3.0 hands would be too large for it.
