HG 1/100 Tallgeese III: my 2nd painted kit after learning a lot from my first try. after this one, i think i’ll plan for more color separation. i was blindly following the manual photos.
i know right! was too late… this was already a work in progress when they released the MG tallgeese. but then again, i don’t have enough experience to mod and kitbash a MG and a HG lol this took me awhile when i took a long break from frustration after i made a mistake on the panel line wash and scraped off paint on a part entirely…
Hey, its nothing wrong following the colors on the manual. I like the original designs and colors, so I paint most of my gundam kits according to the color on the manual. 🙂
lol yes, nothing wrong. it’s just after i finished this, it was just all white it seemed. just applied to this model i guess as all the others have pretty good color variety and separation.
RG Exia wip. going for a 3-tone inner frame. gunmetal, titanium, and metallic grey. sanded off visible seam lines when you put on the armor parts. hated the back of the knee seam line especially…
@drAInbAmAgE: thanks! it was a pain to sand indeed due to the plastic being the soft type like ABS maybe.
@Jaberwak: yes, i used airbrush to paint the frame. i made sure not to use lacquer paint as i was afraid it would melt the plastic they used for it. did a thin coat of primer to make sure the paint would stick better and just 2 coats of the…[Read more]
Waiting for the gloss to dry so i can get on the water slides and finish up these arms. While looking over the decal guide i noticed these area are depicted as grey, so i painted them to match and i think it came out well.
Just recieved this today from Samuel Decal. My first non bandai kit , but only because they havent made one yet . Really love this design , and the kit looks really good . I will take some pictures as i build it.
First time building old hg kit. The numbers of seam lines drove me crazy and the color seperation is just soso, The finanl result turns out not exactly what i want , i might say its a failure for me but i still love it!
i like what you did with this kit, a lot! especially that weathering (the oil/rust staining from the hinge points on the shield: awesomeness!) its those kind of details which make a kit look more life-like that i enjoy the most. i hope to make such skills my own, one day. excellent work!
Thank you. It took awhile. I worked on it off and on for so it’s hard to say. But probably a few months. Most of that time was all the work on the frame that doesn’t show
Thanks =D I used all alclad paints.
For the red I used:
Alclad Gloss Black base coat
Alclad Chrome 1-2 thin coats
Alclad Transparent Red 1 thin coat and 1 heavy coat.
Alclad Aqua Clear for the finish.
Inner Frame:
Alclad Steel.
Gold Pieces:
Alclad Pale Gold
Alclad Aqua Clear for the gloss finish and protection.
Im not sure how i missed this post for so long but im very glad i found it. That is quite an impressive build. Do you feel the metal parts kit you used was worth it? not a criticism, im inquiring because i was on the fence about getting one for my build and i decided against it. It looks great with your metallic high gloss paint job there. Very nice work.
you should buy a mg tallgeese kit then you can convert it to a tallgeese 3 MG 😀

I tried it a while back its pretty straight forward if you ever get the chance you should give it a go. here is a link to my photo http://www.hobbylink.tv/members/sparta112/media/30644/
