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
First attempt at water slides didn’t come out that bad just hoping that they don’t silver on me. Absolutely worth the extra cash for the water slides since they really come out great and give a uniform look to the decals.
@Big Rich – Looking good dude. Suggestion for taking the picture – not sure what type of camera you’re using – if it has the option, set it to “Single Point Focus” (so what’s in the centre of the frame automatically is the focal point).
Another option for taking close ups better, is, if you have the option to use Macro Mode (designed for shooting…[Read more]
Thanks for the advise. To be honest I’m only using a camera on a smart phone, the Sony Xperia S. It’s got a good little camera, but it is what it is.
What I’ve been doing is holding the camera close to the chrome barrels and slowly backing up. NO ZOOM!
I’m pretty sure I use single point focus but I will check. As for macro mode, that is…[Read more]
Currently building the HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 01. I haven’t done anything extreme to the kit except for adding those square molds from Kotobukiya. My biggest problem that I…
Kapool is done. Im not to proud how the missile launchers came out. Tried doing rain marks (to make them look natural is super hard and i fear i failed :()
Dude, that is some fantastic-looking rust !
End result is quite effective, in my opinion.
How did you execute that ? Multiple layers of paint, or weathering powders, etc. ?
(repeat of comment on first image)

1) created texture with poly cement
2) primer
3) layer of rust paint (Valleyo Model Air light rust)
4) added some brown paint with sponge on some places (next time ill definitely add way more)
5) clear paint coat
6) coat of hair spray
7) pre shading
8) main color layer (after it dried use a brush with water to chip the paint
9) another clear coat…[Read more]
Getting back to the Epyon with all the wing parts waiting to be primed and the rest of the mech taken apart. Starting a final touch-up paint and last minute panel lines before…
Hi, that’s a simple but nice-looking diorama. I like it 1
Just one suggestion : Maybe add a satin/matt coat when you’re done, to make things look less plastic-y ?
I use the HG grade marasai. Well for diorama it would be step by step…from plaster cover to color and put a lot self made terrain vege and of coz weathering tools
That’s awesome! Excellent work, warlordGunpla !
Really love the effect of the muddy terrain going up the legs.
Just one thing I noticed though – and technically doesn’t really matter, and I’m sure you take it into account – for “realism” consider how things work at the scales we’re working at. In this case, they’re in the 20m-high range, so muddy…[Read more]
thanks. and you didn’t have to nitpick, but since you did. I put a wash on the foot thrusters but didn’t do anything else since once its displayed or standing they wouldn’t be seen
HGCC Turn A gundam: All done with the Turn A. Very happy with how this kit turned out. Gave me some headaches here and there but overall it was a good experience. It was nice…
Trim the moustache. All HG kits due to safety regulation cannot have sharp edges. All HG kits have extra plastic on the v-fins. Just use x acto knife or sand paper to remove it.
Looks really good. Built this kit for my dad as a birthday give and really wanted to keep it for myself! Getting one this month with the restock. This kit really does deserve MG version down the road.
Well the water slides came in for my epyon so its time to finish it up. Anyone got any advice on putting these on? the kit is hand brushed with acrylics so im not sure if…
Based on the pictures. You need to coat the kit with a gloss clear coat.
Waterslides for best effect require to be put on gloss paint since its preventing the small air bubbles to get behind them. Those small air bubbles create a silvery around the decal. You might consider also getting decal fix. – its helps with waterslides. You put it on the…[Read more]
So i got a can of acrylic gloss for a top coat on this guy before i put on the water slides, thnx for the tip on that. i also decided to finish up the last of the detail work while the kit is apart, possibly add some chrome details and last minute panel lines. Lots of touch up painting to do because of the slap dash job i did toward the end of the…[Read more]
HGCC Turn A progress: Been having a lot of fun with this guy! Got the waist and the chest section done. Should have this guy done by tomorrow or the next day. Has been a real learning experience with all the panel lines but looks amazing once its done and over with.
