Hi all. new here and to this layout of “forum”. have recently started getting into some Gundam etc figures but still to start my first build.

I just wanted to share my RX-78-2 Ver. 3.0 build. I decided not to add any paint on it because the color separation was good enough already. Just added the decals and used a clear matte to finish up just to remove the plastic sheen.
Looks really nice! Did you use waterslides on him?
I see you’ve got Power Master Optimus Prime there. That’s so cool! Got him for my birthday many many years ago 🙂
This HG Strike Freedom was a breather. Didn’t spend much time on it other than sanding, applying putty, priming, airbrushing, panel lining, applying sold separately decals & sealing twice.
Love the fact that you painted the yellow parts of the shoulders on the Wing Zero Custom gold! It really works with the blue. Maybe some panel lining on the wings and head to bring out some more detail?
Just a thought, not trying to nitpick.
Glad we have a new member here! Love to see more kits from you!
Happy building
Welcome! The kits look really nice, a little dusty tough, haha. You did a very good job with painting them! There are maybe a few things you could do for your next kits. A bit of masking, for example the black piece of the backpack mounted gun on the FA Gundam, overall it looks really really nice!

So far soooo…good…my Zasabi has come along nicely….just got the funnels to go and a gloss coat to do…thanks for the advice teetee580 😉 and he’ll be good to go…
This is incredible! I’m in love with the custom colour scheme…truly good job!! I was wondering if you can remember what type of blue paint it is you used? Or was it self mixed? As if you wouldn’t mind, I might like to use that blue colour on some of my builds 🙂
Thanks, the blue was a custom mixed color, I don’t remember the ratio anymore but it was a combination of Cobalt Blue, Indy Blue, White, and a small amount of Lavender. Cheers.
It’s been far too long since I posted an update due to camera issues but here we go!
I’ve now built every main MG AEUG suit from Zeta (Rick Dias, Mk-II 2.0, Hyaku Shiki 2.0…
They vary heavily in quality from kit to kit, all the “G” suits, the Grimoire and the Elf bullock are very good, while the others are a bit sub-par. None of the G-reco suits have very good articulation unfortunately.
I’d recommend you try the G-self and Gastima, they’re fun builds and look good in the end.
Hello Q/A group I am new to the group and have completed (straight builds) 9 HG models. I am thinking about making a resin copy of a model or two. I would like to know 1) if you can make a resin cast of the polycaps and 2) what type of resin casting would be best to use to achieve the same feeling of the polycaps? Thanks in advance for any info…[Read more]
