Finished my very first painted build. RG Char’s Z’Gok. Wanted to see how hard matching original colors was. Some paint left so i’m going use it on the MG Char’s Zaku II ver 2.0 next. Thanks to the guys here on this site who encouraged me to try painting!
That looks really really great!!!!!! Did you mix colors or did you find matching ones? Found myself that sometimes when mixing the colors via the manual, the can differ from what you see in the pictures, while other times they match perfectly. In the event you did use matching colors, what brand where they as they look very good! Looking forward…[Read more]
Awesome work, very clean. Do you think you’ll do a RG-style pain scheme on the MG Char’s Zaku II? The masking you do for those kinds of paint jobs is a great learning experience.
Teetee, i used liquitex basics acrylic paint. I got a set of 48 tubes.

The piece attaching the machine guns to the shield is from System Weapon 006 that I had originally bought to complete the oldRick Dom II that I was rebuilding a while ago. I had to trim the Zaku Shield down a bit for the attachment to fit and I may have trimmed a bit too much, so I applied some thin strips of double sided tape to hold it in place.
Just finished the head for my PG Phenex…Anyone have any suggestions on a good gold to paint this guy?? Gonna start scratch building the backpack attachment and the Armed Armor DEs
You can use all types of paint for your Gunpla. It’s a matter of what paints are available to you, how you gonna apply them and what are the conditions you’re going to work in.
For example, indoor without any sort of ventilation? Then using water based acrylics for airbrushing if you have to consider other people as these smell the less and are…[Read more]
