Not sure if I’m completely done with this kit or not, but pretty happy with what I’ve got done so far anyway. This is on old HG Serpent Custom from 1998. Here I’ve completely…
That was a serious Battle for sure. You definatly have to do something with the scars. If metal cooles down after beeing red glowing hot, it becomes some kind of a darker blueish grey. I would go for that and maybe keep some of the edges dark red glowing.
Check some lasercuttet industrial metalparts. Outside where the temp wasnt hot enough do melt the metal, it will change the color from the grey directly at the cutting edge to a yellowish brown a bit further away. Hehe depends on how much effort you want to put in it.
I am going through all the episodes atm. And are around episode 150, where the give aways took olace..(why have I found this place not earlier), but what really is funny, is the amount of response to those episodes, compared to times where nothing is for free.
But if you look at the clicks on the episodes. Thats what counts. Mostly People watching the show and thats it. Not everybody is that talkactive and the most just want to see stuff thats comming out, stuff they can’t afford, and how it builds. If they went to hlj right after it.. Jobs done! And if I just wanted to know some Details about a kit, I…[Read more]
You are absolutely right. Gunpla TV is a big add, and a wonderful one none the less. It’s just a shame people only comment for a free bee. That’s great, if one doesn’t have the funds to buy something. Me, I am a very lucky one that doesn’t need Sid’s hand me downs. It’s just a shame that because of the 500+ comments, the ones that matter, like…[Read more]
Most do a “dry build” before painting. This is done to see where the parts may rub, so you can see where to take some plastic away, or identifying troublesome sections of the kit. So, that’s already done for you. The downside IMO is that I’m a bit of perfectionist when it comes to nubs and due to time constraint, I guess, Syd isn’t too neat with…[Read more]
Its the magic of buildig something out of lots of small parts, seeing how it takes shape, while you work your way through the process, which is gone. Even if it is a lot of work cleaning all the parts, it is the most vital part of modelbuilding for me. An these have lost already their virginity. I could also buy actionfigures and paint them. Hehe…[Read more]
Well nope, the base for the red parts is the Titanium color, ontop of it I painted the clear red to make it red and a deep metallic color . And it`s Mr. Aqua Hobby Clear red. Look up tutorials about Candy colors the technique is similar
I though, what for tanks works, might do it here as well. Its my first Mech.. Think that it is a bit obersized for that scale, but not inacceptable, or unrealistic. Ok it is an constuct from another dimension and has higher powers, but the japanese seawater in the air seems to be stronger.. 😀
Thank you! Yes, this is my first kit. I did take time and care building it though. Panel lined with Fine Point Gundam Markers, and top coated with Winsor & Newton acrylic matt varnish.
Hehe, yew announce the rules, I already got the idea in my head and just have to know if it fits the given frame, to order all I need…. P.S. I will build it anyways..:D
