I use Vallejo air for most of my projects and I find they generally don’t need thinning. If they do, I stick with the Vallejo thinner. I’ve tried isopropyl and the Tamiya thinner, but they turn the Vallejo into a clumpy mess. Something about the chemistry just does not mix.
With that said, I’ve never seen this ‘Metal Medium’ before. How’s it…[Read more]
Hi, I use Vallejo Model Air because I’m a beginner and you can use them without thinning (well.. almost all of them but not all).
When I have to thin i always use Vallejo Airbrush thinner (i tend to follow the rule: same brand for combinations).
The metal medium is used to give metal shine to a given color. Instructions says 50% color and 50%…[Read more]
Oh and I got the feet and shoulders done so ill finish the wings and wait on the correct batteries and my decals from samuel decal to get here so it’ll probably be a 3 week build from start to finish
Just finished the chest,waist,and head of my PG wing zero but when I went to put in the batteries and finish screwing in the back ,I had the wrong size batteries ,I have lr41…
And the part that’s under the chest light and above the waist is rubber and when you assemble it you have to fold it down to screw in some pieces so its not very good on painted parts especially painted rubber
I’ve been doing my second PG for week ,it was smooth sailing until I got to the chest and the lights ,some of the pieces wasn’t lining up like they should so the screws were…
MG Destiny Gundam Ver. OB, Custom Repaint Build in RG colour scheme.

I have repainted the whole gundam in the original colour scheme, but in the two tone RG style. I panel scribed…[Read more]
P.P.S – i painted it completely using tamiya spray cans, and mixed my own blue and blended them together with different layers of spraying ( as it was the only way i could get the blue i wanted for the kit, and i didn’t know how else to do it with spray cans). For the armour I used tamiya brilliant blue and tamiys blue violet to make the final…[Read more]
That looks really great! Excellent job! Love the colors, the extra panel lining and the detail painting. Sorry to hear (actually read.. LOL) you’vr had some issues with the build. But rest assure, I’m having tons of issues with it. Paint cracking, gloss coat frosting out, chrome turn silver…. So I didn’t got as far with it as I hoped… Seems…[Read more]

Hi guys. I am currently building the 1/144 RG Strike Freedom and I have come across a big problem. I am cutting the black and blue parts and the nippers are leaving stress…
Use hobby knife to scrape the excess nubs..but do it gently..for a more clean surface clean with few grade of sandpaper and use wet sanding to have a clean surface.
This one is ready to go to comic con. Time ran out so no funnels and more than likely no weapons unless i can get a beam saber done in the next few hours. I will be finishing this kit to completion once i get back, but for now the suit is done. Now i have to figure out how im going to pack it up for the ride.
well i didn’t place at the con but i did learn a lot about what the judges look for in a build. thnx for the compliment and i plan on getting better quality pic up once i finally finish the funnels and weapons lol.
during the events of zeta gundam mercenary totencrutz. was helping out a small village with his cyclops gundam.during a titian attack he deploy to fight the titans to defend…
The hip thrusters are still being painted as i write this. Im also working on the shield now and i have to decide on the weapon. im leaning towards the beam tomahawk based on this pose.

Took a crazy amount of time to build. For an HG kit. It would have been about 16 hours. The 1/144 Dendrobium is complete. A very fun kit to build. I used blue to break up all…
Turned out really nice! Love the blue breaking up what else would be a huge white piece of hardware. Awesome job sir! Thanks for sharing this build with us 😀
nicee..do you thin down the vallejo air and if yes what do you use? I’ve never get around using vallejo other than Tamiya paints
