Well. End of work till monday. Run out of clear coat while doing x-1 (and it led to some disaster) so ill get it next week and fix it. Back to Zaku Tank. Had some trouble with…
Well since somehow i managed to have a somehow free weekend i decided to work more on the Zaku Tank. Earlier this week i did the clear coat and the hair spray treatment (but…
Well after a couple weeks of building and painting its done the PG wing zero I would have finished it a couple days ago but I was waiting on the waterslides from samuel decal ,they worked really well
Just finished the mc sd hi nu it was a good little build and a whole lot more detailed than bandai sd hi nu plus it had like 12 sprues about 3 times the bandai hi nu, I guess now its time for the mg ver ka sitting in the box on my self
Yes it’s nice and smooth and not to thin you have to press harder than bandai to get the pieces together but it was better than I expected other knockoffs I’ve done before have a grainy look to the plastic but this kit was good and I just got the model comprehend hg XI gundam and the plastic looks really good on it too ,I haven’t put it together…[Read more]
The chest is done and this kit seems to building quite nicely. I feel that it is screaming for a LED light job and based on what i have seen inside the chest it looks very workable.
I was afraid that the clear version armor would look a bit boring compared to the normal white but I’m happy to be proven wrong.
Is the inner frame plain grey or is it different for this version?
I was also happy to that the clear parts look good on the kit. It looks like the frame on this kit (or a good chuck of it at least) is done in a gloss injection style. Very similar to the RG trans-am exia that I build a few months back
The little woman bought me the MG MS-14s Gelgoog for my 35th. so far the frame is together.. i might leave it this way.. such a nice frame, better looking than the Zaku…
Ps, I only paint the inner frames. No detailing. On all heavy industrial equipment all the components are sprayed in one color, this only to prevent rust. Pistons and e.g. drive belt of course not. So I follow that trend, as a giant robot is a huge piece of military equipment. But that is just my opinion…
i like to do some detailing on the frames but it really depends on the kit for me. my next big build will be rather extensive with the level of inner frame detailing but its still in the planning stages at this point. I agree with teetee about “undercoating” of industrial machinery so i will be going with one or two flat grey colors for the frame…[Read more]
id really like to see how you work pink into the nu-gundam. please keep us updated on that.
thanks for telling me how you go about it. i was thinking of just detailing it without any kind of finish coat.
Very nice frame! I have my gelgoog on the way! I like to add nice little details to give the kit more life! i dont paint the frame tho but i do detail pistons, ankles, elbows and thrusters! The gelgoog has a lot of thrusters and I just keep dreaming about what i’ll be doing with them.
Its true to a degree. The moment when they are out of the factory and they are serviced by mechanics the one color goes away due to various reasons. The chances of the spare part having the exact same color are slim (more than one factory building the suit is one example), also sometimes parts of different suits are used for repairs. Not to…[Read more]
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.
I wanted to use the hairspray method, but my testing did not go well, so I went with my…[Read more]
Well taking a break from the Crossbone – technically its finished but i want to do the wash on it (i suck at panel lines) so i still need to do some gloss coats for it. So in…
well before i was using aditional layer of gloss acrylic varnish and used the humbrol enamel thinned with petroleum ether. It somehow did work but the thinner was evaporating super fast so it was hard to get the right mix. Now i want to check a store bought wash (which strangely enough is acrylic based) . The preliminary test i did on the…[Read more]
Its been a couple of months since i put a kit together , so as its miserable outside today im making a start on this 1/100 NG Cherudim gundam designers colour version which comes with some nice markings , clear polycaps and an led for the head, a great value kit.
@corn-wizard thnx for the compliment though i did not place, but the kits that did win were really top notch @frankon when i dropped my kit off on friday there were a few kits that looked good but goin back on saturday i was amazed at the kits that showed up. There was some VERY good builders showing off their amazing skills. yeah and being…[Read more]
