Gonna try to finish HG Aegis tonight so I can top coat tomorrow. Then will piece together the Blitz now that it’s finally dried. Hopefully tomorrow is nice and dry and I can consider testing some paint for one of my other kits. View
nice kit, nice weathering…
subtle and fitting for the implied operational environment. one of the first times i’ve seen (or maybe just simply noticed) an example of using metallics to give the effect of paint wearing through to bare metal. definitely looks good against the darker colors of the ecoas jegan
thanks for sharing!
I think if i put my heart into this and not do nething but this i can get it done before saturday more is already painted but i just wanted to see something done
Just about finished my RG 00 Raiser. Was really cool! Gave all the blue parts a silver paint job, then sprayed clear blue, and gave all the other parts a flight spray. Sorry for the crappy photos, better poses to come once I’m finished! And next up, HG Kshatriya!
If you enjoyed the ARF then you should definitely look into some of the other RGs. While not all as articulate once completed, they’re extremely fun builds.
Yeah, I enjoyed this kit allot. honestly. I was loosing the interest on the hobby, but this kit reminded me how fun and rewarding this hobby can be, I’ll try other RG’s for shure, and as I said I really hope Bandai one day release the big bad guys on RG form.
Excellent work. You can build only so many stocks before you get bored. Try to spice things up. Like changing the color schemes, adding custom decals & metal parts, weathering, taking a break, branching out into non-Bandai kits, or even other kinds of kits. If i have the time & money, I’d get the entire RG collection. IMO, RG is a waste since the…[Read more]
yes, I do all that, follow the link to my blog and check out my other stuff, if you look closely to the logicoma, it is fully painted, weathered and with custom decals. Nowadays I rarely build a bandai kit, they usually bore me or annoy me, but this RG Astray was simple and fun. I didn’t do weathering on this kit because of the stickers, which is…[Read more]
No, by stock I didn’t mean no painting, but painting as the instructions say, to the letter. No color change. No modding. No kitbashing. No custom parts. Like stock cars, they bore me to no end. I can see ’em on the streets, why would I build ’em? Race cars & bikes, on the other hand, are a different topic.
I totally don’t get RG’s reasoning. If…[Read more]
The first two MGs the ReZEL Type C Defenser A+B Unit GR colors and the Sinanju OVA are not recently finished kits but I’ll post them here anyway because I haven’t done so yet…
MG 2.0 Zaku I resin conversion complete 😛
Resin kit was purchased off taobao from the original caster, sadly out of print now.
Frame used is an MG 2.0 Chars Zaku II
Inner…
HGBF Gundam Portent.
Fully painted according to the manual except the frame in Tamiya Gunmetal and the yellow parts in Mr Color laquer Super Gold with Alclad II Black Gloss Base.
I also did the One Point Technic with a holographic sheet.
i finished modding my zeong and i started to paint it however when i did after the paint dried i could see the surface of the plastic to be all scratchy from sanding it down and such is there a way to get rid of that look like prime it or something??
What you can do is prime to see where it’s rough. If you use a grey primer then it’s easy to see changes in the surface and so, easy to try and fix. This is the best way I’ve found to smooth out plastic.
What Nick said is true, but you’ll be looking for a primer with “micro filler” added to it. Of course you need to sand it after priming it. For a flat paint, a 800 grid sandpaper will do, for gloss and metallics, a 1000 or 1200 grid sandpaper is needed. And you need to get a primer that is compatible with the paint you are using, provided you want…[Read more]
so i have to prime it with tamiyas since im using tamiya paints but after that i still have to resand it but wouldnt that create a more scratchy rough surface though??
If you are using the Tamiya acrylics, you can’t prime your parts with Tamiya Primer spray cans, nor the Tamiya Surface Primer which comes in a bottle. Both are lacquers and will ruin your messed up paint job even more!
There are two options for you, one being that you use some more paint to thicken the surface and then sand it smooth, the other is…[Read more]
Right now i already stripped off the original paint for the tamiya primer so all i have to do is prime it up then check for scratched surfaces then sand it n then re prime n then paint?
nice kit, nice weathering…
