You would be correct.

Man, that is one gorgeous looking Strike Freedom. The additional details and the pre-shading really make the whole kit come together. You did an excellent job on it.

Tamiya Gold Leaf.

Gundam Forums 10 years agoPainted a few more parts last night. I got home late and didn’t have much time but I got the gold parts painted and I painted the thrusters with a gloss black base coat. Tonight I’m hoping to get a layer of Future onto the gold parts and possibly the frame parts as well. Might paint the 100% black parts while I’m at it.-
That’s a nice shade of gold. What brand did you use for it? I got a hunch, but I could be wrong.
-
Tamiya Gold Leaf.
-
I’m liking what I’m seeing so far. You’re using the exact same colors that you used on your base, am I right?
-
You would be correct.
-
Seems to be a surprisingly good metallic paint, pain to clean out of the airbrush though, or if the mix just a smidge too thick and having to give a quick blast into the exhaust fan.

I agree, the forum needs back up.
I’ve contemplated on adding a few areas of very dark red to the Destroy Mode. Just haven’t made up my mind yet.

You’re close. I’m officially calling:
Unicorn Gundam Unit 04 Dremora-
I see the obvious TES reference there. The forum can’t get back online soon enough. We need more order to keep track of projects like this, haha.

I’d say that it would be pretty easy to do. Along with the XC parts and the collar.

If you look at the plate with all the Armed Armor DE parts. You’ll notice a long gray piece with a peg on each end. That part, is what the Unit 3 Phenex HG used to mount the twin DEs onto it’s backpack.
-
No kidding? That’s convenient. Especially since I’m going to pass on the Phenex; too expensive, and the gold plastic is ugly.
Speaking of gold, I might…MIGHT…paint the Norn’s “crown” with Gundam marker. Should be easy enough; I dig the orange look, but the gold might look a bit better.
Of course, this is all just idle speculation. The Norn…[Read more]

No way. Are you telling me you’re going to make a Unicorn Banshee Phenex Norn? That will be one HECK of a suit. I’m really excited to see what you do.

I know right. Did you notice the added bonus part that comes with the Armored Armor DE plate?
-
I did not! Explain!

Certainly fooled me. I thought you had painted it already. But a digital camo sounds like it would look fantastic on that Sniper.

I’ve been a fan of German Grey since I painted my MG Kampfer with it. It’s great stuff. And I think it’ll really give the Banshee a good look and feel. Better than my 1.0 version anyways.
And yeah, only time will tell. But hopefully this time it actually works.

Gundam Forums 10 years agoSo I have a few updates.
1: I was able to get the frame parts of the Banshee Norn painted up. I used German Grey for the frame parts, on the 1.0 version I used a Gunmetalish paint. It really made the kit to dark in my opinion. So this time I went with German Grey, it’ll retain the dark scheme of the kit without making it, to dark.
2: I got…[Read more]

As a huge fan of German Grey, I’m anxious to see those frame parts.
Regarding the forum, it’s good news but only time will tell if the issue is solved completely. I’m hoping there’s no data loss this time.

I am loving those shades of Blue man. And the rifle looks excellent.

Yeah that is my goal with the Unicorn Mode. Make it as close to screen accurate as possible. The Destroy Mode on the other hand, will be a bit more personalized.

Standard colors. Just adding some of my own personal touches here and there.

The head will most likely be completed 1st. But we’ll just have to wait and see what get’s done 1st.
It would also seem that I might be doing a favor for a friend of mine while I paint the Norn. We’ll see tomorrow as a few friends and I are making a trip to HobbyTown.

Gundam Forums 
Nothing for me so far. I’m able to log in like normal.
Yep. I can’t get in. Keeps booting me out.
Same here.
I was just looking at posts 20 minutes ago, and now I’m looking at squat. ****. That didn’t last very long this time :\
It just started acting up for me, in the for sale trade section.
I tried it again just now and sure enough, it conked out.
Damnit this shit is pissing me off. If it wasn’t so expensive I’d open my own forum.
Where is this being hosted?
I mean surely our traffic isn’t that much… migrating this to a different server wouldn’t be too bad right?
Sad that it went down again though
Haha, maybe we should take up Squee’s offer and see if we can get a sub-forum on GE for us refugees.
I actually just finished registering there.
How? I can’t manage to get signed-up…
I don’t get the confirmation email though I signed up on that before Gundam Forums actually…
Did you play that video? You have to play the video and right down a phrase from in the field below it.
I did before and even had 2 Accounts registered without being approved by a Admin lol.
Just registered again and hopefully this one goes through 😐
Yeah, me too. A forum crash so soon? Got to draw the line somewhere.
Yeah, I’ll sign up there now.
We’re you approved already?
No. Well just have to wait and see what happens.
What’s GE?
Gundam Eclipse 😀
Gundam Eclipse.
Yep its down for me as well… kinda disappointing just started visiting it a couple of weeks ago.
It’s down for me as well. Can’t say that I’m surprised.
Forum seems to be back up again.
Sorry guys, i approved all your accts on GE, we have it set for admin approval so that we avoid spam and bots. Buuuut GF is back up so whatever lol
Also, Sazabee, your account on GE has been active since January 21st. Any account you’ve tried to register afterwards that share that ip would have been rejected.
Thanks Squee. And honestly when I saw that all new accounts must be approved by an admin, I thought that it was a great idea.
