WiP #6. I snapped the rest of chest and waist together last night. And found that the waist looks horrible on the AGE-2’s chest. (IMO that is). So to fix this I’m going to build up the AGE-2’s waist section and use it instead.
WiP #5:
I have the head, and rifle completely assembled. I’ve had to repaint the beam parts cause my masking tap stripped it all off. In terms of what needs to be done to finish it. The beam weapons need to be detailed, and the shins need to be clear coated. The action base also needs painting. Tonight I hope to get a few of that addressed and…[Read more]
Finished Kotobukiya’s Mode Lock Fûjin.
My first fully airbrush painted kit. For 5 euros all you get are to semi A4 size runner of a light grey color, a tiny sheet as a manual and … that’s all!
No stickers, no decals, a full DIY kit.
I spent two evenings sanding and cleaning the parts which were full of molding marks, a full Saturday masking and…[Read more]
Thanks ^^
I got an other Mode Lock kit to do with the AB: the Gernsback from Full Metal Panic. This time I intend to do a full weathering with washes, dry brush, flat top coat and filling with epoxy putty those huge holes at the back of the legs. Lots of masking for this one too with three different tones of gray.
Yeah, I have the Gernsback too. My first testsubject. Didn’t bother to fill the holes. Be careful not to paint the balljoints. They are fragile and can break easily (hands!). I think I have a photo of him on my profile…
Hello Syd and Ryan,
I have a question: I pre ordered the MG Sazabi Ver. Ka which is out for December and I also ordered the PG 00 Raiser that will restock that month too. They are all for Christmas presents so I wanted to know at what date exactly each one will come to your warehouse and be shipped?
I’m hoping that they could all be shipped…[Read more]
I’ve finally finished all the masking, and I’m ready to lay down my final layers of paint. So hopefully I’ll have some assembly photos to post up over the weekend. But for now, check out the AGE-2s rifle in Tamiya Gunmetal. I have found a new love for that paint.
Straight plastic. No primer used. For this I love the way it looks. It looks awesome for a weapon. Would putting a black primer under it make it darker?
Yep, a black undercoat will make it darker. Remember my Evil Qan[T]? All of the originally blue parts were painted with Tamiya Gun Metal with a gloss black undercoat. Came out a grungy black-ish metallic compared to a slightly grungy metallic grey.
I think no undercoat for those rifles looks tasty, though.
