awesome clean work! love the subtle shading. i see a lot of clean but solid color painted builds on other websites which makes the kits look non-scale and new out-of-the-factory… i don’t do a very good job myself but i want to be good at this style of work 🙂
Hey all, here’s my first kit back after a 6 month break recovering from the terrible issues I had when I was building the Buster Gundam. I still got some paint cracking when…
Just finished my first Diorama! Master Grade RB 79 Ver Ka as Construction Pod. I wanted to portray it in a sort of repair situation with the beautiful inner frame exposed….
Very nicely done! Love the weathering on the ball. Even the thrusters are beautifully weathered. If I may ask, how did you perform the paint chipping? Is it done using the hairspray technique or using a sponge? It looks really realistic. Again, great build!
Thanks! The chipping is grey painted on top of the base yellow with a torn section of dish sponge; the yellow portion of those ubiquitous yellow/green scrub ones. I then in-painted on some of the chips with a metallic color to give them a bit of depth.

MAN!!! both your Blitz and Buster look awesome!!! I like your color used to paint them, It really give them more brighter and bringing sense of realism on to it.
GAT-X series build number 3! I really love the simple design of the Duel…even moreso after I put the Assault Shroud on. Sadly equipping the armour scratches up the parts…
Posibly the best duel gundam I have ever seen, great shading and color choices are dead on. Decals seem to blend in nicely as well (are those stickers or bandai’s waterslide decals btw?)
Amazing!
Thanks. there aren’t any official waterslide decals for the Duel so I purchased 3rd party ones from Samueldecal instead. It’s pretty much a copy of the sticker sheet in waterslide form.
@saint-ism This is soooo nice! I only have the NG Duel and actually really like it, but when I saw the MG Duel I knew that was a kit I have to get. I like the kit better than the Strike (go figure). Great job man.
OMG!!!! those prices are amazing!!! I hope i can get the PG Strike!!! if not I can conform with a poster that you have at your back… Where can i get one of those?
MGS Rex – I’m not building it quite yet, but hope to start soon. I’ve had it in my stash for a bit and I’m itching to go. Thought it might be fun to get a group build going if anyone else is interested. A new version of the kit is coming out in June as well!
