I’ve added a lot of 0.25mm plates just for details around it. Though I might remove some of it in places or add more because I’m not quite set on the look.
There are days that it seems we’re doing nothing but masking. But it pays off at the end of the work. It’s one of the most satisfying phases of the build.
Semi scratch build of my take on the Ookitsu no Kagami. Implementing as many parts as possible from the Red Frame so opted to use the Tactical Arms 2’s Arrow Form edge for the spear head.
Hey everybody, a little late to the party but glad I will be able to participate. Before I post initial pics, I want to say I already find myself admiring your builds! There…
Ok painted the base and sprinkled on a little seasoning,i didnt use any 1/35 scale leaves because in trench images the trees have been oblitorated and nothing is left but…
Guntank Dio in progress- Burst water main just visible under rear guntank track – delaminated armour on front of megela – smashed magella flier – much of the debris is on but…
Exhaust nozzle redone to satisfaction, weathered & installed. Airframe touch-up completed. All but landing gear, pylons and ordnance has been gloss coated and curing for 1 week. So no WIP on those, but on later parts.
It’s not done yet. Next would be panel line wash & then decals, and then flat coat. Finally final touch-up & weathering, then flat coat again. The metallic were Alclad, but the primer wasn’t good enough. Alclad ate into the plastic a bit. On top were acrylic metallics. I wanted to try layering Alclad with the final being copper.

They are so inconsiderate, we should go there, stand outside and make them re open for business for a few hours just to make the parts you need then they can go back out of business just so you can finish your build.
I am making a really nasty sign to hold up with bad words on it right now!!!!.
That will show em!!!. 😉
The ones I cut off are toast. I’m going to see about tracking down another set. They have really nice detail. If it comes to it though I might cut the parts I need off of one of my other builds.
An idea: you could buy the same kit again, use the missing part from that kit, finish the contest build. And build the new build later on for fun. Maybe different color scheme and decals from 3rd-party even.
Late to the party but still ready to rock. Safe to say that in the 9 years it’s been since the MG Blue Frame got released, either Bandai forgot about the MG Gold Frame or are gearing up for a P-Bandai release. The RG doesn’t do it for me so it’s time to give the 1/100 Gold Frame the Master Grade treatment.
I’m liking the details on those shoulders and knees.
