Something shiny came today and it was nice to build something different besides the alltimeconsuming fox. The Musha Gundam MK II. Awesome kit, with two sprews of stunning…
HGBF 1/144 Iron Man Transient Custom Paint
I decided to try giving the Transient an Iron Man colour scheme, because, well, just look at that design! My favourite armours are…
Used a Dremel drill’s cutting disc to trim back the collar. But it still can’t look far up.It’s because the socket for the neck is too far forward on the head. Strange design choice, Bandai, especially for a model with a flight gimmick.
Hi guys, here I am with a new Gundam Graze, clean, no additional work, just as it is out of the box. It was the simplest model so far, took us just a couple of hours, but it…
Another model in the books: Zaku I Gundam Thunderbolts Version. I took my game up a bit by painting in majority of the details and only used marking stickers for the warnings (water slides tough to come by as we all know). Also did some basic weathering just to give it that extra rugged look. Enjoy…..
first go at a customizing a kit. i didnt like the 144 Z’Gok, its joints are flimsy and its a bit meh. so it became a piece of test plastic. although the pics don’t show it much the light and dark chrome came out alright…..then after the first attempt at painting i had to go i bit further

the metallic finish isnt paint, i used this kit as a test for some powder stuff called c1 metalizer. i have a battlestar cyclon raider kit to do and then the british pound crashed so i thought what the hell, why not order some and give it a go. good effect, easy to use.
I bought something similar, wich is made for chrome and gold fingernails. Made some experiments with medium results but looking forward to the Gyancelots and Gyans I ordered to make shiny knights with it. Do you have some tips for the application? Or does it easily work on gloss black?
the recommendation is to be applied on gloss black paint however i have found that lighter plaint (as long as they have a glossy finish) come up with the lighter chrome colours. I have had no issues with masking and applying standard stickers, havent tried water or rubbing decals though. since its a graphite style buff finish i suspect painting…[Read more]
