well got the hang of the airbrush now and my 3rd painted kit is finished. thinking i should have done this kit for the plamo comp but it’s not very original-
Really nice finish of one of the most awesome kits. With a Sazabi on the workbench you have to go all out. And people went crazy on it. It is still something that is not crossed ony todo list. I like your dark shiny interpretation of the red.
cheers guys. yup otaku its a ver ka (200+ fiddly decals)….. and it was over 50 spoons its just that i stopped counting after i used a whole pack.
trying to mix auto and hobby paints had some issues. clogged airbrush and some of the thinners for the top coat ate the test decals.
you cant really see the different reds so i’ll try for some outside…[Read more]
If you are refering to the joints, you can have this with Bandaikits too. Especially, if they have to hold heavy shields and weapons. Also that it is no Bandaikit it is of a great quality. The mold is top and there is nothing falling appart, when assembled. Even after several coats of paint I just had to sand 2 parts to make em fit again. Sure,…[Read more]
Maybe next time try this: thin black, more medium gray, and mostly white camo. From head to toe, black, gray, white patterns like water waves or straight lines or digits (blocks). Hard edges are ok.
Wasn’t able to finish my entry due to bad weather but I will still post my final pictures so as to finish what I started. Next time hope I am able to submit my work, lol.
It’s actually a glossy lacquer finish. On the pics it looks semi glossy because I chose specific angles to show the iridescent effect as much as possible.
Yeah, I think I should start working on a gunpla as from now itself and do crazy mods to it but keep all the pics secret. When there’s another competition, I’ll be ready then, hihihi.
As long as I don’t post any pics online, I think it should be alright, lolz. To be honest, I think the 4 months are more than enough to build any kits with great modifications. I was the one who waited the last minute. I wanted to work on a 2nd RG Sinanju and was waiting for replacement parts that never became available. And I never really was…[Read more]
i saw it as more as a challenge to do something different. the fact i finished something worth posting (despite the maddening frustration) was an achievement. I actually liked looking at what other do and it has helped my next build. I wouldn’t get too hung up about prizes but they were a good incentive…..im more pissed that after the results…[Read more]
Français ici ! Yeah I’m starting to be a bit anxious about the results. I think I did OK, but I saw some pretty good builds in the WIP posts and I’m not sure where I stand. that was a race to the deadline though, not sure I’d like to do that again.
Yeahhh ! (^_^)/
Je te comprends ! La date limite qui se rapproche, ta maquette n’est pas encore terminée engage un grand stress et encore plus quand il y a une galère dessus >< Mais ce genre de concours te permet d'être plus productif, imaginatif et ça vide ton stock en kits :p Du moins dans mon cas ^^ "
En tout cas ton kit est vraiment bie…[Read more]
I haven’t posted anything or even been here for close to 2 years I think and have barely built anything in that time. But recently decided to dig into my closet of shame and…
well might as well post me pics that i submitted. anyone else that hasnt already posted their final stuff wanna give it a show?…. i like seeing how people make the most of…
We’re just anxious about who wins. I’m not holding my breath. I have a number of winners in mind. Given gunpla is the bread and butter, I’m guessing the gunpla entries will snag half of the awards. That’d be no surprise.
Hi, this is my last work : 1/72 Me262 Messerschmitt from Academy, modified with a retro SF touch inspired by the video game Battle Garrega. Add some mecanical parts and weapons as canon from 1/72 tank, tail canon, laser pods … Hope you’ll like it !
If you’ve been doing pre-shading panel lines for a while, you might wanna try something new out. Black basing. Youtube has a few clips. It’s more work. Prime black then shoot worm-like lines in various grays, and lastly thinned color coats. The goal is to NOT have a uniform coverage. More realistic.
Thank you SO much ! I was recently wondering how this kind of effect was done ! So this is called black basing, it seems to be a simple but efficient technic ! I must try it 😀
