Hey ho! Going through my older builds, thought I would show you the Geara Zulu I rattled off. Did this one for funsies, I wanted ot take a break for full repaint builds, so…
Actually there was no sponging on this at all – I used chipping fluid and Ammo Streaking Grime ^_^
I build in subassemblies – on a full paint job that can be a hundred parts on skewers being painted up, but for this build I detailed some bits before assembly, and then weathered the sub-units e.g. legs, arms, torso, head etc. I painted loads of…[Read more]
Chipping Fluid,gives you this result.. I always use a proxxon for chiping and put the fluid back into the box. I have to try it. Actually the two 1/35 scale mechas I built lately are perfect for this. Some tips or technics?
The trick is you are using enamels over the chipping fluid, not acrylics. Basically, spray on your chipping fluid as normal, then AS SOON as it is dry, I sprayed over a light coat of Ammo by Mig Streaking Grime (enamel). Then AS SOON as that is on the model, gently work over the streaking grime with a brush moistened in water, and it hopefully…[Read more]
I see Isee. So it is just the streaking you create with this technic. I thought the actuall chipping too. But this was made by drybrushing. But I found some other ejtertaining Playlists in your channel. I have an unpainted Stein on my shelf and a few Ideas in my head. Maybe your budgetbuild is giving me some insoirations. I would have all the…[Read more]
The Mig stuff is just really nice to use for weathering – it’s what Mig is known for. AK Interactive have similar products (Mig Jimenez used to work for them before he left to set up Ammo by Mig) and essentially they are designed for specific weathering effects so that you don’t have to make your own by mixing or thinning enamel paints. I haven’t…[Read more]
I have a c9mplete set of artist oil colors and always wanted to to try using it as washes. But as someone said… now you have to wait for at least 5!days… I lost all my interrest .. 😀
Never used Mig stuff, but I like the idea of having a metalball in the bottle. Vellejo has also a hughe set of effect and weathering paints. And far bejond.…[Read more]
Hey folks! Thought you might like to see my recently completed 1/60 No Grade Strike, all painted up with acrylics, enamels, oils, and Mr Metal Colours for the frame. A fun build, if a little basic in the kit features. It’s not a PG but a little effort make make a fine cabinet filler ^_^
This is one serious build. In that scale you can go completely nuts with the paintjob. Surely took some tike, but the result is more that sattisfying. Great one!
Seriously.. this is the 5th time I tried to upload my pictures, but they got lost allways. Its uploading em all, but in the End they disappear.
This sucks.. :C
I think it’s time for to quit this hobby. I’ve never been this angry. The kit was fine but the decal(s), oh my god! Thank you, everyone. It has been a nice experience knowing you guys here. Goodbye Gunpla TV. Fuck you, Bandai!!
but this reminds me of the Audi Urquattro I built. Shown here at the automotive group. Everything went fine until I tried to place this hughe and rather old decals for the ralley design… I ended in spraying it with my airbrush, after I cooled down..
Oo.. same with my rg sinanju. I’ve never had problems putting decals (rg, mg, pg, macross kits), i have no problem at all with the kit, but the decals urrrgghh.. :)) especially on the legs part. Btw, excuse my broken english :))
Is this the RG Sinanju? if your that frustrated with the RG just go HG or even some MG’s they dont have the same amount of decals. It would be sad to see anyone give up Gunpla.
