Alrighty! time for an update! I now have both the G-self and Try Burning ready for the kitbash but before that…POSES! with the G-self’s headless body and my Amazing Exia!…
Don’t paint until you have everything. When it comes to kit bashing, you’ll generally have to do some modding to parts to make them work, so it’s better to paint when you know everything will work together.
The most fun about kit bashing, is making everything look more fitting to you. if you like the stock look of the parts, that’s awesome, but…[Read more]
thank you! you’ve been such a helpful guy since I started posting, ill be sure to see what I can do and continue to make improvements along the way 😀
Finished the head, torso and arms of the MG OO Raiser. And the box still isn’t getting any lighter 😀
Wondering myself when I get to finish it. Hihihi
I like the anime but don’t fancy the suit designs…. After seeing the progress on your MG makes me wish I’ve ordered one when they where in stock! It looks amazing! Please keep us updated!
I’m stealing this idea! Haha I’m working on the MG 00 Qan[t] right now and modding leds all over. I was going to get the Destiny and do the same with that next but this makes me want to get the Fenice next!
haven’t really gotten a lot of physical progress done but im getting kits for my FIRST Gunpla kitbash, consisting of the G-self, Try Burning Gundam, and Transient Gundam. For…
Do be aware that the arms of the Transient and try burning are rather different. the Tranisent’s arms are a peg and socket type, and the build/try burning are a ball joint type(the ball is art of the shoulder piece of the try burning, and the peg is part of the body on the transient). You’ll have quite a bit of work ahead of you in modifying those…[Read more]
Actually, I have looked into what gunpla to use as well as their instruction manuals to give myself a good challenge but not an impossible challenge and ive figured that I can just take away the ball socket-to-peg parts to insert the try burnings arms where the pegs get connected, via the Try Burning’s shoulder ball joints. however I don’t kno…[Read more]
The ball sockets on the try burning are the same as those on the build burning, so you should be fine with the shoulders fitting the transients ball sockets. I have both the transient and build burning kits, so the big problem you’ll encounter is that you will lose part of the transient’s chest when doing this, as it connects to the ball socket,…[Read more]
ok, though the latter option seems a bit crazy as im just starting out on kitbashing so ill do the first option first and later once im more experienced with kitbashing I may do the second option. thank you for the tip! 😀
The next badge. Still a GM RX-78-2 2.0(Every Gundam collection needs the grand daddy IMO) and the MG Aile Strike R.M. in private warehouse at HLJ. Damn those restocks LOL. Thanks to HLJ for creating me a backlog 😀
Oh, and why not the Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode? Going to do ‘Mechie Plating’ myself. With the FBM there are a lot of parts that need to be plated anyways and this way I don’t have to strip the Bandai plated parts….
@tehbanshee13, well, that’s rather simple. First a gloss black enamel in preparation for the Alclad chrome. Then a mix of 85% clear yellow with 15% orange. Used it in the past for the yellow parts on my MG Destiny and MG Nu Ver.Ka. (on the latter it was hand painted, didn’t have an airbrush at the time). The only tricky thing is not to spray too…[Read more]
thanks but i had the idea of what u meant i meant was i was curious to see if u were using that metal powder stuff for the strike freedom because that would be even nicer lol 🙂 but happy building
although i don’t have a PG yet, this kit’s presence and detail very much feels like one and i love it! work in slow progress since work has been very busy…[Read more]
Indeed it feels like a PG. It was my second kit, the first was a PG. At first I wasn’t that impressed with the Nu (I didn’t put the frame together like you did, but build it piece by piece) but when it all came together it was awesome! Now I tend to compare all MG’s to the Nu Ver.Ka…….
Hope you enjoy the rest of the build
thanks! i’ll be adding the under side of the feet, backhand covers, thrusters, verniers and other necessary armor panels that are “non-maintenance” and will be displaying it as the frame for a while since i’ll be working on the decals on the outer armors xD
I wish you good luck with those like a million or so decals. If you take your time, it’ll work out fine, I’m sure.
If I may give you a tip, if you don’t have a mark softer, I suggest getting some. It will come in handy for the water slide on the back skirt armor 😉
been working on this for a few days.
base:
i wanted a floating effect, i think it came out good. i still need to add some lights and stain.
gunpla:
i like the gold but im trying to figure out the green, im thinking tamiya racing green?
wow! nice kitbash, it looks somewhat like a roman knight with that red Mohawk piece adorning the head! I hope your kitbash comes together nicely! 😀
