Started this project last month haven’t have time to finish due to no cash and busy schedule I do plan on finishing it up and painting all the detail before I start school next year. View
RG Exia wip. going for a 3-tone inner frame. gunmetal, titanium, and metallic grey. sanded off visible seam lines when you put on the armor parts. hated the back of the knee seam line especially…
@drAInbAmAgE: thanks! it was a pain to sand indeed due to the plastic being the soft type like ABS maybe.
@Jaberwak: yes, i used airbrush to paint the frame. i made sure not to use lacquer paint as i was afraid it would melt the plastic they used for it. did a thin coat of primer to make sure the paint would stick better and just 2 coats of the…[Read more]
Waiting for the gloss to dry so i can get on the water slides and finish up these arms. While looking over the decal guide i noticed these area are depicted as grey, so i painted them to match and i think it came out well.
Just recieved this today from Samuel Decal. My first non bandai kit , but only because they havent made one yet . Really love this design , and the kit looks really good . I will take some pictures as i build it.
i like what you did with this kit, a lot! especially that weathering (the oil/rust staining from the hinge points on the shield: awesomeness!) its those kind of details which make a kit look more life-like that i enjoy the most. i hope to make such skills my own, one day. excellent work!
Thank you. It took awhile. I worked on it off and on for so it’s hard to say. But probably a few months. Most of that time was all the work on the frame that doesn’t show
More work on the arms. Need a touch up on the purple and one more part to assemble before i can get the first top coat on and move on to the water slides. Hopefully i can finish the arms in the next day or so.
I’ve moved onto the weapons pack. It’s a combination of a Frame Arms kit, a GN Arms type-E, an EX-S, a Sword Impulse backpack, and the stock Buster Cannons.
So just finished this wirh the crossbone maoh and the shull weapons set. Dident go as i had originally planed wasen able to get it to have six hands so had to keep the…
Thanks @Nick, funny you should mention that since i really didn’t think about it before i chose the paint scheme, lucky for me it worked out. But you got me thinking about the color scheme im debating about for my nu-gundam Ver Ka and if the water slides will get lost in the color. Since there are 2 color water slides for that kit im going to have…[Read more]
not gunna lie i very much dislike the victory build on that the articulation was just baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad no offense to anyone whos luvs the kit including you
The kit looks great once assembled and the gimmick is great, but in terms of poseability its lacking greatly.
which part of the Articulation did you find bad? I found the joints to be really loose when I assembled it for the first time ,but a few coats of paint on the inner frame fixed most of that problem. the part I am most annoyed about is…[Read more]
I really like the MG Victory, we wanted a fully transforming victory and we got it.
The build is really complex and interesting as well.
Do you plan on getting the core booster set for all the extra weapons and dash pack?
The hips are weak because of the damn polycap ball joints but if you leave them in one pose they’ll stay. You have to use the ankles a lot more on this kit to keep it stable, similar to the Delta Plus.
Getting back onto the Sazabi build. getting the backpack done before i move back onto the body. funnel pods are done and just need a final top coat. nice to be working on a 1/100 scale again
indeed i am. I’m hoping to have it finished soon so i can get to work on my next ver ka kit, the nu-gundam. I’m doing a full color swap on that kit and looking to track down the double fin funnel kit for it as well. Im also planning on getting the Hi-nu ver ka but i waited a bit too long and now HLJ has them on order stop 🙁 so i will have to wait…[Read more]
lookin good. I fully agree on the back of the knee seam line, that thing was a pain.
Never painted the RG frame. Any tips on doing so the way that it wont damage the joints using airbrush?

Good work but I think that the RG inner frame looks kinda weird because of how skinny it is.
