lol thanks! this was a cheap organizer i found at the tacklebox section for fishing at the big box store. i bought all 3 sizes and this biggest one was originally intended as my upright paint bottle organizer (4 rows when the dividers are removed) but later found a better paint organizer. it was a metal grill cutlery organizer which i figured was…[Read more]
I’ve always liked desert camo. I thought it would look good on the Mark II. I also just wanted a Gundam model that wasn’t so brightly colored, but a little more muted.
It’s a great idea IMHO! Had to look at it a few times, and I have to say, it looks better and better the more I look at it. It’s also a very original color scheme.
If I may, it’s like a fine wine, you have to acquire a taste for it, but once you do, you’ll appreciate it more and more over time!
Good luck and happy building!
missile pods?
nah, how bout beam reflector funnels… (if only i knew what the heck i was doing when it comes to hand painting; i suck at that game)
they’ll eventually be…
Looks fine from here. It looks like the back of the missile pods have some wear to them, so you could have fooled me. So it’s not bad hand painting, it’s an awesome painting job with weathering 😉
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get that cool effect on the red at the front of the pods? Looks really great!
thanks for saying so! as long as no one looks at them too closely & realizes that ‘weathering’ effect is just a fluke, i guess i could go with that. the red on the front are actually jewel pieces made by HiQParts. they can be found on hlj (http://www.hlj.com/product/HQPVCDOME-R/Sci). first time i’ve used them, and i’ve gotta say i like the look…[Read more]
Currently working on SIX kits, right now. I love building kits, but maybe I should finish a kit before starting anew. Actually, I’m waiting on paints I ordered.
Back row:…
it has a full inner frame which is the amazing part. if this type of kit can have inner I am sure Bandai can do them for gundam kits in the future and this kit is really really cheap as well
This is actually a Majin bone kit you can find it on HLJ, they are about as big as the average 1/144 gundams, I am not sure about the sprukits as they have really weird looking articulations but if they are the about the same size as this kit I would just them and kit bash it with this one
This is my progress so far on my Mg Sandrock. This is the first gundam model I have ever painted! (apart from my Mg exia which I clear coated last week). Thought there was a bit too much white on Sandrock, so decided to add some sand colour. What do ya think? Lining, stickers, flat coat and maybe some silver scratches to come!
Looks good so far… I really like the overall shape.
