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
I’m currently building the PG Gundam MKII. Half done so far. The other project is an M9 from Full Metal Panic. I didn’t like the color it came in so I started painting it. I’ve used Medium sea grey and olive drab with some metallic black. My hand painting skills need a bit more work though, not very neat.
The MK II I’ve finished the build now. It was a good build, no harder than an average mg. Just had a few screws to help secure the joints and a bit of wiring for the head. Personally I found the RX-78-2 mg 3.0 harder than the pg MK II.As for the PG Zeta I got it and love it. its the hardest PG I got out of the 8 I have. The strike Freedom was the…[Read more]
finally made a start on my MG delta plus . This is one of the first batch of kits I got from HLJ , but I had kept putting it off due to some of the terrible reviews I had…
I got a MG Delta plus at the end of May and I really like it. The build was quite frustrating at times but the product looks great and I haven’t found any real balance issues.
Stopping with my PG Chars Zaku 2 for now so I can build some other kits. I will come back to this in the future for some more detail work on the back pack and thrusters on the…
Hey, guys! My next challenge was to put led into RG Zaku II mono-eye! And most complicated part was to keep work mini-gear inside, that allow mono-eye rotate simultaneously with head. And looks like I did it!
P.S: note that led color is true – pink, not red as you can usually see.
I thinking about putting leds in backpack nozzles, but since I decided to place MS on “ground” (moon base from kotobukiya) working boosters would look weird compared to if I put it on action base “flying in space”.
I do not really like how looks kits with lot of leds here and there, I just a mono-eye lover )))
Unfortunately I did not take photos during working on it and did not use references. But I think I will soon make a similar mod for MG 2.0, and try to make a sort of manual, and it will work for RG too, since MG and WG structurally identical and differ only in scale.
Getting back on the RG RX-78-2 after finishing up the epyon. Lots of details packed in such a tiny kit. I think the water slides look so much better than the RG stickers.
Thanks HF. I do think I am getting better because I am fooling the advise of those that came before me. I’m still prone to stupid mistakes when I rush a kit tho.
Just a small update on one of my current builds and a HUGE thank you for everyone who helped steer me toward the RG line. The amount of detail in these kits is staggering and…
Gloss coat it and do a grey/black wash. You can get a ready wash paint from ex. Vallejo (love and hate those paints) or MIG.
Or you could do it yourself. Acrylic gloss coat and then dillute a emanel paint with zippo lighter fuel.
