missile pods?
nah, how bout beam reflector funnels… (if only i knew what the heck i was doing when it comes to hand painting; i suck at that game)
they’ll eventually be…
Looks fine from here. It looks like the back of the missile pods have some wear to them, so you could have fooled me. So it’s not bad hand painting, it’s an awesome painting job with weathering 😉
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get that cool effect on the red at the front of the pods? Looks really great!
thanks for saying so! as long as no one looks at them too closely & realizes that ‘weathering’ effect is just a fluke, i guess i could go with that. the red on the front are actually jewel pieces made by HiQParts. they can be found on hlj (http://www.hlj.com/product/HQPVCDOME-R/Sci). first time i’ve used them, and i’ve gotta say i like the look…[Read more]
Finished my Sandrock Mg. First time I can say I’m really finished a kit. Also first time doing some spray painting. Added some colour to the shoulders and other areas that…
Currently working on SIX kits, right now. I love building kits, but maybe I should finish a kit before starting anew. Actually, I’m waiting on paints I ordered.
Back row:…
it has a full inner frame which is the amazing part. if this type of kit can have inner I am sure Bandai can do them for gundam kits in the future and this kit is really really cheap as well
This is actually a Majin bone kit you can find it on HLJ, they are about as big as the average 1/144 gundams, I am not sure about the sprukits as they have really weird looking articulations but if they are the about the same size as this kit I would just them and kit bash it with this one
1/144 Takemikazuchi Type-00A – fully painted, this kit requires a fair amount of masking and detailed brush painting, it’s actually harder than making an MG in my opinion.
It was a tiny spot of gaia fluorescent paint, so a composite picture that stacked a normal photo, and another photo with UV light shined on it to reflect the blue light. 1/144 Takemikazuchi doesn’t have too much room for even a 1.5mm LED.
ya 1/144 is quite difficult with many parts requiring reverse wash and small spots to hand painting, the shoulder, stomach, fists, feet and waist section came entirely white so had to do a lot of reverse wash like sinanju gold trims.
This is my progress so far on my Mg Sandrock. This is the first gundam model I have ever painted! (apart from my Mg exia which I clear coated last week). Thought there was a bit too much white on Sandrock, so decided to add some sand colour. What do ya think? Lining, stickers, flat coat and maybe some silver scratches to come!

Thank you very much for replying on how you manage to get the red on the missile pods. Much appreciated!
