This one is Doven Wolf, High Grade Universal Century Unicorn. I changed the color scheme from Unicorn to ZZ (see the insignas on the chest & wrists), panel-lined, weathered & sealed the kit.
I really want to kitbash too try and replicate this gundam from a Linkin Park cover.
Any suggestions on which kits could make this suit would be a big help?
wow… haven’t seen that artwork in a long while!
all i can think is: zaku for the head & lower legs/feet, something along the gm family of mobile suits for the waist/upper legs, not sure about the arms and torso, but the shoulders remind me vaguely of the tallgeese? kinda? maybe just a little…
lastly, the reflector panels off of the gundam x…[Read more]
Got to say this Dark of the Moon Bumblebee was the most complicated Takara Tomy kit I’ve ever built. All parts were factory colored, the inner frame was factory built & the markings were factory applied. I repainted most everything except the body & clear parts, panel lined, weathered & sealed the kit with different sheens of clear coats.
This Metal Armor Dragonar Type 2 Custom Dragonar was engineered the same way as Type 1, the white one I built. No putty, sanding, priming & shading. I airbrushed, masked, panel lined, weathered & sealed the kit.
This is the Loto Twin Set. The brown one was unpainted, but touched up & applied a top satin coat. Busy modelers will find this technique very time-saving. The light grey one’s color scheme was changed to a spacey Unicorn version, panel lined, weathered & sealed.
This Unicorn Gundam hide some seams with clever engerinning. The articulation is above average. I changed the color scheme, did pink & black panel lines & sealed the kit. The Psycoframe is unpainted. No weathering since the kit is choke full of details.
Another Metal Armor Dragonar by Bandai is similar to non grade or first grade. This kit was snap fitting & color molded with stickers & polycap joints. Limited articulation. Individual fist for each weapon. I built first, applied putty, sanded, primed, airbrushed, masked, shaded, panel lined, weathered & sealed the kit.
that head unit led customization is a thing of beauty…
on a side note, that cracked housing effect on the left leg’s gn condenser looks pretty awesome as a battle damage feature; how exactly did you pull that off and make the cracks look so clean?
