Working on MG FAZZ one of my favorite designs from gundam. This is the first kit I completely painted and seam line removal along with custom plaplate for extra detail, also…
More work on the RG Destiny. Lots of detailing with chrome paint and panel lining. Starting to get into the fun parts now. If anyone is curious, yes the posts from the skirt…
holy crap cakes!! compared to a straight build with no paint/ detailing, this things like a whole different kit! you have brought the nightmare to life, sir (on a side note, blue sinanju is an interesting touch)
Thanks! But it’s still not complete yet, I’ve decided to go a bit further. I’m waiting on decals from SameulDecal to add on. The blue sinanju, I decided to do because I got bored of all the red.
finally finished my straight (ish) build of 1/144 RX-105 XI gundam. Still many waterslides left but i think it has enough on it now. The decal guide was somewhat hit and miss…
mg zeta gundam ver 2.0 ive been working on it every night for the last week im trying to base it on some karaba like scheme and rg like detail and yes it might not look it but…
@thebanshee13 Dude you are on a Gunpla building frenzy! Seems like you’re blasting out kits. The Zeta is looking good so far. I can’t wait to see the finished product. Happy building!
props on painting up the marshaller! those figures that come w/ the kits are always so tiny and intimidating; maybe one day i’ll man up enough & try painting some. that aside, your zeta is looking pretty badass! for some reason, the grey reminds me a lot of the c1 when i look at it
yeah i understand wht u mean about the pilots i dont really like painting them at all but if its just the pilots with the suits there much easier than the ones without them lol i just use a really thin brush and use enamel paint for the little details since in my opinion enamel is very think unlike tamiya acrlyics so its easier to control in my…[Read more]
Im working on getting as much of the RG Destiny Heine ver done this weekend as possible, gotta love 3 days off. Ive done a fair amount of chrome detailing on both the frame…
I do like the way the matte finish looks on the RGs, my RX-78-2 is a nice example of that. Yeah nick, out of the 5 RGs that i currently have, 3 are special release. Trans-am Exia, Clear Zeta, and Heine color Destiny. Ohh plus the clear Strike Freedom that my girlfriend just ordered for me will make 4 out of 6 special release.
I’d love to get my hands on the “full burst” RG SF with wings of light connecting to the dragoons.
I myself only have 5 RGs but all retail releases so I’m a bit jelous 😛
I show how I did it here: http://www.graemenattress.com/wp/1144-neo-zeong-part-3/ – basically lots and lots of masking, and I made a little template to help me keep the spacing right. The tricky bit was figuring the correct spacing to ensure that the design fit exactly.
@GN HOLY MOLY that’s nice! I kind of wish you removed the seam lines but that’s personal preference. Outstanding job man. This is the first Neo Zeong I’ve seen painted. What a beastly kit. Happy building!
Lots of masking!!! I was thinking of doing more, but I was happy with the added detail on the bland sections of the kit, and thought doing too much would detract from the overall effect.
excellent work. there’s a certain ratio of red to white to blue that makes it look almost Iron Man inspired. only criticism is a little to much silver for me, I like doing clear colors over gunmetal or graphites
that is quite the big beautiful monstrosity you have there. i fear that my mind would melt if i thought about the effort that went into your n-z for too long
Just finished my first dry brush experiment for battle damage on my DMK01 Optimus Prime. It’s also my second but 1st successful attempt at LEDs and Fiber Optics (The first was for the MG Sinanju). I am really satisfied with the results!!
Here is to Heine Westenfluss.
My thoughts on this kit? What you get for RG Destiny is what you get for This Version, EXCEPT!
80% colour changes, the Wings of Light is more…
Looks great! im working on the same kit as i type this lol. i ordered the water slide decals and i’ll be using metallic paints instead of the metallic stickers. I added a fair amount of detail with the metallic paint as well. Do you plan on using flat or gloss top coat?
Im thinking about a matte finish but im really not sure either lol. Im going to test on the runners to see how the matte will work with the chrome paint im using. I ended up doing a fair amount of chrome detailing on the frame, most of which is covered up by the armor but a few spots are visible. The panel lines are coming out good and i should be…[Read more]
Great idea! i’ll be trying to get as much done as possible today and tomorrow. The water slides are still en route so i should find them in the mailbox on monday. Left leg is done with panel lines and chrome detailing, time to get the right one done.
Hey there Gunpla-ers. I’ve been working on my most ambitious project and probably the most significant one at that. I have loved Gundam since I was a kid. My first kit (and f…
Sounds like it’s taken quite the beating, though we all have that one kit lying around (Hello MG Red Frame). It’s good to see your taking such an ambitious approach to it so I’m eagerly awaiting the result!
@Nick I know what you mean ahah. I have a NG 1/100 Duel Gundam and a RG 1/144 Justice, but I’m really focusing on Nataku. I picked up some polystyrene sheets and tamiya white putty yesterday to do repairs and some detailing. I finished scratch building the interior of the front skirt armor and I’m just sanding out the edges to make it all clean.…[Read more]
I would like to share with a guys my experience building the remake of the classic 1/60 RX 78 kit from the 80s. Painted metallic red and gold to follow my Zeon only…
Man that’s oldschool! I can only imagine the troubles you had because of the quality of kits back them. When you compare that RX-78 to today’s 3.0, Gunpla have really come a long way. Nice job!
now that’s something you just don’t see every day! i think your kit may be older than i am, and it looks way better, too! i’m glad you were able to persevere through the build and share such an awesome example of classic gunpla with us. you have my gratitude, sir!
My latest the HGUC RX-RXGP-01.
I am still figuring out the airbrush and panel line washes. But I originally started this over 5 years ago and pulled it back off the shelf
found this clear ver. delta on my last hunt. not much on hg’s usually, but it was clear and purplish and cool. it’ll be nice when the day comes that i can get a proper display setup for my kits; this one’ll definitely be gettn the backlight treatment.
Awesome! I’d love to get a limited edition event kits like this one day. Kinda strange how the Delta plus is more purple rather than bluey grey though.
