Well the last pictures before he gets a beauty treatment. To be honest it looks very good even now (apart from the inner chest. I fucked up there. Will have…
well since its an hg and also becoz these kits and i think about 4 more will be a part of a big diorama with many led lights i decided to have all the batteries out
1/144 Kapool.
Finished the rust. Used valejo ligh rust and tamiya brown for the effect. Now getting ready to airbrush it with hair spray (to create chipping effect). Sorry for…
Oh wow this is getting better and better.
I wish I had the facilities to do this kind of stuff to my Gunpla, but I can barely hand paint as I am now so ootb builds with panel lining is what I do.
The first big blunder on the kit… Run out of masking tape and since its weekend and hobby shops are closed i decided to try doing the missile bay (chest area) by hand without masking…. Oh well it could have gone worse… Ill focus on outer armor now since it doesnt need masking. Possible will have to redo the chest area later. Sadly used a…[Read more]
thank you. I try to stay away from the 1/144 scale because they are so small and hard for me to get a lot of detail in. but a have few that are only available in 1/144
MG Zaku 2 F2 Progress. Just finished this guy and overall very happy with how he came out. The photos don’t do him justice and I changed up the pose but still not sure if I…
Really nice but wow, the proportions are really different on the HGUC vs the MG. Like how on the HGUC the shoulder just looks huge and the head so squished. They both look great but they’re so different for the same design…
Yeah the MG is from 2002 and the HGUC is from 2010 so there is a pretty large time gap between them. I personally like the HGUC version a lot more. Don’t get me wrong I love the MG as well but if I had to choose one over the other id still stick with the HGUC version but like I said these photos don’t give the MG justice it looks so much better in person.
A little. the first time I painted the piping, the paint flaked off. I cleaned off all the paint, wiped the piping down with plastic cleaner. then I sprayed Dupont’s Plas-Stick adhesion promoter on the piping then sprayed Alclad’s pale gold. no problems after that.
Thanks for commenting. I think I’ll just spray this wallet destroyer with a flat or semi-coat.
How’s yours? I saw your WIP pic below just now. Are you going for a military color scheme? This guy surely got the look and build for it. Really looking forward to the finished product (and the WIP pics too)!!
P.S.
Now I wonder if someone has tried…[Read more]
not really military scheme. greens and dark purple. hoping it turns out alright. i’ll be posting an update in a day or two on my progress. yeah wallet destroyer is a very good description. i got the nu ver ka on the way so i’ll be making a nice fighting scene once im done
Old HG kit Kapool. Rather old cheap kit that is right to test some techniques.
The goal of this build would be to experimenting with adding texture to the kit – some rust…
Expect little to non possibilities of posing. The model cannot even do the pose from the cover since the there is no rotation in the wrist joint.
Still overall it looks super cool – a freaking ball with small legs :P. It needs a HGUC (or HGCC) release.
MG Zaku 2 F2 progress. Almost there just need to finish the head. Not to sure about the pose yet? Very happy with how the HGUC zaku 2 F2 is posed but not sure if it works so well with the MG. It may just be that the bazooka looks awkward or I just need to spice it up a bit but ill work with it some more once the head is done!
looks great so far, I see what you mean that just because a kit is old it doesn’t mean it’s not very good, I’ll have to get some older MGs myself soon :D.
I think a pose where they’re holding the bazooka under the arm pointing forward may look nice.
Thanks yeah the manual and the box have some nice ideas on how to pose him or I may pop in the good old 0083 dads to get some ideas. Ill make sure the final images get posted so you all can see what I decided to do.
no ghost for this kit if I read the description made on Hasegawa’s website… maybe later with armament box set ?
I wish !
However, the bandai’s set of 3 ghosts with the rvf25 is still good, and I have 2 ghosts unemployed on my custom list ^^
yes, I have the bandai kit on my collection, (I posted a few pics on the group a few months ago) It is a great kit, but hasegawa allways ads some little details that look awesome!
and the overall is better when in fighter, despite the two kits have very similar proportions.
the detail is better essentially on the cockpit, the other material is good on both – and the bandai’s transforming
I made a comparo for my forum at the issue of the first 25 by hasegawa
I totally agree with you, hasegawa’s details are amazing all over the kit, also the waterslides are far superior on hasegawa’s kits, but the big selling point for bandai kit’s is the transformation, bandai and hasegawa are both great, it all depends on what do you want. I actually can’t wait for a VF-29 kit, I think bandai is not interested in…[Read more]
Hasegawa is releasing the 1/48 VF-1J http://www.hlj.com/product/hsg65827
Am I the only one who thinks the VF-1 is the ugliest valkrie? I mean, for me, it’ looks almost like a super deformed jet!
