Hi guys. Finally decided to start the X1. I assembled it almost half a year ago but finally found some time and energy to do it right (hopefully i set a max date to finish the…
RG Destiny update. The suit and backpack just got the first light gloss layer so i can start up on the water slides. Weapons still need a little bit of panel line and chrome…
Actually, I´ve been away of the site for a while an fot Gunpla for that matter, bur reacently I´m trying to do a piece that I,ve always wanted and never saw made.
What do you guys think of it ?
It´s my puny attempt to recreate the Gale Boomerang of the Legend of Zelda the Twilight Princess. Some time ago there was a mini replica of the Master Sword and Hylian Shieldfrom target in the United States, I manage to get one, it´s like a 1/6 replica I tink, but there are no replicas of the other cool items from the game, so I decided to make m…[Read more]
It’s looking great, very accurate to the one in game. What are you thinking of doing next? If undecided may I suggest a double claw shot? I think you’d do that one really well.
Hey fellow Gunpla-ers. So I’ve made progress on my retribution kit! I scratch built underskirt detail with PlaPlate (first time scratch building and using PlaPlate in…
@corn-wizard Thanks a lot. Scratch building is definitely something new to me. Each skirt armor is three thin pieces cemented together. It’s a little rough hear and there, but I should keep improving. Thanks for the kind words. Happy building!
I was supposed to pain the vulcans right? WIP of the RG Destiny and i should be done with this one by the middle of this week, then its back to the Sazabi. Hopefully i’ll get the water slides tomorrow.
the main suit of the zeta gundam is done i just need to do weapons and the wings although im not sure if i want to do the wings since im looking at it and im like dam this is nice already
Working on MG FAZZ one of my favorite designs from gundam. This is the first kit I completely painted and seam line removal along with custom plaplate for extra detail, also…
More work on the RG Destiny. Lots of detailing with chrome paint and panel lining. Starting to get into the fun parts now. If anyone is curious, yes the posts from the skirt…
mg zeta gundam ver 2.0 ive been working on it every night for the last week im trying to base it on some karaba like scheme and rg like detail and yes it might not look it but…
@thebanshee13 Dude you are on a Gunpla building frenzy! Seems like you’re blasting out kits. The Zeta is looking good so far. I can’t wait to see the finished product. Happy building!
props on painting up the marshaller! those figures that come w/ the kits are always so tiny and intimidating; maybe one day i’ll man up enough & try painting some. that aside, your zeta is looking pretty badass! for some reason, the grey reminds me a lot of the c1 when i look at it
yeah i understand wht u mean about the pilots i dont really like painting them at all but if its just the pilots with the suits there much easier than the ones without them lol i just use a really thin brush and use enamel paint for the little details since in my opinion enamel is very think unlike tamiya acrlyics so its easier to control in my…[Read more]
Im working on getting as much of the RG Destiny Heine ver done this weekend as possible, gotta love 3 days off. Ive done a fair amount of chrome detailing on both the frame…
I do like the way the matte finish looks on the RGs, my RX-78-2 is a nice example of that. Yeah nick, out of the 5 RGs that i currently have, 3 are special release. Trans-am Exia, Clear Zeta, and Heine color Destiny. Ohh plus the clear Strike Freedom that my girlfriend just ordered for me will make 4 out of 6 special release.
I’d love to get my hands on the “full burst” RG SF with wings of light connecting to the dragoons.
I myself only have 5 RGs but all retail releases so I’m a bit jelous 😛
Hey there Gunpla-ers. I’ve been working on my most ambitious project and probably the most significant one at that. I have loved Gundam since I was a kid. My first kit (and f…
Sounds like it’s taken quite the beating, though we all have that one kit lying around (Hello MG Red Frame). It’s good to see your taking such an ambitious approach to it so I’m eagerly awaiting the result!
@Nick I know what you mean ahah. I have a NG 1/100 Duel Gundam and a RG 1/144 Justice, but I’m really focusing on Nataku. I picked up some polystyrene sheets and tamiya white putty yesterday to do repairs and some detailing. I finished scratch building the interior of the front skirt armor and I’m just sanding out the edges to make it all clean.…[Read more]
Well the Sazabi gets the back burner treatment yet again since this found its way to me from Otakon and can’t help but build this immediately. My RG collection is starting to fill out nicely.
its looking awesome best destiny ive seen so far since im not really a destiny fan but this this is just nice plus the fact ur using spray cans makes it even better
Thanks Guys! Really appreciate it… I’m really happy that you guys like it! I’m away in Spain atm so have only just read your comments it’s made my day! Will post the wing updates and the decals updates when I’m back! Thank agian
WOW love that RG look,you definitely madde it look 500x better,and you have encourage me to work more with spray paints,since i dnt have an airbrush as wel ^^
Im going to work on a Sengoku Astray,and now i feel brave to do a custom spray paint..i just hope i can do it look half as good as your destiny (cuz ive just started on gunpla…[Read more]
@Ryu Shiro, I’m glad you like what I’ve done and I’m happy I’ve inspired you to use spray paints… It’s really not hard to get a good finish from them as long as you have patience and use the right techniques… As I learnt the hard way aha:) I used Tamiya TS AS And PS spray paints and I would defiantly recommend them haven’t had any problems…[Read more]
#WIP MG Destiny Gundam custom painted build. Once again the amazing weather has meant my progress on this build has been really quick as the paint has been really easy to do! I’ve gone for the original colour scheme of the Destiny, however I have panel scribed lots of my own details and areas of the armour to give the MG the two tone style of the…[Read more]
Shoulders totally finished and this kit is halfway done. The vinegar did its magic on the water slide and no sign of silvering. The colors are really coming together i think. Not sure if i want to start the weapons or the legs next…
No commercial products actually. Just a gloss top coat and I used white vinegar instead of water to loosen the decals. Lots of time and constant use of a cotton swab is required though. The large shoulder decal took 20-25 minutes of constant attention to come out like that. Then just a gloss top coat to seal it.
The pre-shading turned out really well. I think it really suits a ‘pirate ‘suit.
