Made some mistakes in panel lining that cracked a few parts, unfortunately (aaaaahh). I spent too long doing decals and tried to put together a bare-bones submission, but I’m…
I tried doing one of those dirty/grime washes and I something happened that I dont think I applied my clear coat properly but it did’t come out so I had to use some rubbing alcohol to fix it and it stripped he paint. Luckily I did it on the back of the shield.
I also went for the matte coat and well I live in Puerto Rico (most humid place in the…[Read more]
The weather took a bad turn this week, so I’m no longer sure if I’ll be able to finish by the deadline. I’ve finished most of the painting I wanted to do, though. There are a…
I can’t speak for others, but I still need to make some decisions for colors/masking and it’s easier for me to visualize with the pieces assembled and prime. It helps that this HG is fairly simple to assemble and disassemble.

For some reason, the Gouf hands are mounted using a peg into a polycap, rather than a ball joint. I want to replace them with some other HG hands, since the Gouf hands are…
Added a number of lines, and ended up filling in several of them that looked out of place. I tried to make curved lines on the shoulders and ended up with a mess (in the heat…
I have been researching gunpla on Japanese sites in my ciggarette breaks and one phrase I keep coming across that makes sense is “Learning through trial and error”.
You can only improve by pushing your limits and trying stuff out is fun – I am also going to attempt some techniques that are currently untested yet I feel this is the fun part mwahaha
Finished sanding all the nubs on the body (not sure if I want to follow through with accessories yet). Started some modifications, namely patching over that terrible gap…
Worked on some seams today. I heard you could prime to check the result, which I only tried on the shoulders. I wasn’t sure I could make the leg seam presentable as a panel…
