Here it is, the completed MG AGE-1 Normal. Whew, it nearly took as long as my Red Frame. I painted the eyes, and after many tries, I got satisfying results. They don’t show up well on camera, which is a shame. I think I’m going to enter this as my final submission. While I like my Red Frame, I think I did a better job overall on this one. I had…[Read more]
Excellent job on the AGE-1. Looks fantastic even when placed next to the Red Frame. The minimal decal work isn’t a hindrance either, but I’m not sure why, haha. I’m not surprised you like the Red Frame a bit more overall; it’s a proven quality design.
It’s looking great. A big RG kit. The panel lines aren’t over done as some kits are and it doesn’t miss the decals. But I personally would put more decals on since I like them. Overall a fantastic job.
Amazingly clean job I would say. Congrats for finishing it! The gray color is really somehing. I also would think to add some more decals. But just do it following your taste.
Thanks guys! I didn’t add as many decals as I did because they were rather boring, and detracted from the kit IMO. If it was a Katoki-style kit, then I would have put more on.
Nice , they both look really good , that age one ie really starting to grow on me , especially in MG form. As for the red frame , well its just one of the best designed suits there is , im saving my pennies for the PG.
I’ve got an update on the RG Strike Freedom. it’s not particularly good news, but news nonetheless. Here is a picture of the inner frame of the RG Strike Freedom. Yeah…
Yeah, I’ve seen pictures of it. Bandai is advertising the gold plating for the wings, but I honestly think that it just makes the regular plastic gold look all the worse.
Bandai should have stuck with one or the other for this kit honestly. I don’t really like the gold plating myself, but this color for the frame is just terrible imo. I’d much rather Badai just use one color of plastic to represent things like gold, makes it a lot easier to go in one direction or the other during painting.
I think bandai just too afraid on the price as with the good gold they may have to increased the price and cheap is one of the reason why rg was introduced. But well I already planned that I would paint them anyway..just dont know if lacquer would eat the frame as the plastic is quite soft in rg line
The show is really good. It’s not as serious as a normal Gundam series but it’s still got the same feel to it in away. It’s also quite comical. I love it.
As somebody coming back to the hoby after a very long absence i really enjoy it. The animation has come along way and its great to get all the different suits together in one place , even if its a shameless way for bandai to cash in. Hopefully we will see some more of the lesser known suits with new HG releases seems like Bandai likes churning out…[Read more]
My initial apprisal of the first 4 episoes was clearly positive.
However, that imaginary battle in the last episode really caused me think that if that went on like this, this show might end up being bad.
A lack of seriousness is something I’d approve of; however, they shouldn’t overdo it.
On a related note, this show is blatantly not suited…[Read more]
Frankly its a nice change of pace compared to stuff like OO or AGE. Its comedic but with a little touch of seriousness thrown in. whats more, the custom building stuff really got me inspired to do my own stuff (consult Kenicos Gunpla Gallery :p). Not to mention, I actually found that mock battle between Sie and Mouh quite entertaining. Why? Cause…[Read more]
Today was probably the last day with good weather here for a little bit, so I flat coated all of the finished limbs. Here it is so far. I still have to decide wether I should paint the eyes or not, and then I’ll have it done. I love the way the foil stickers look, though. The paint that I ordered still has to arrive. It might come tomorrow. To say…[Read more]
Thank you. I used Mr. Hobby Topcoat, since I don’t have an airbrush (yet). I did not apply a gloss coat first. I see it as a waste of money, and it even makes the flat coat less, well, flat. The flat coat is honestly durable enough to suit my needs for protecting the paint, if that’s what you’re wondering. One of my limbs (on a different build)…[Read more]
Oooh, the grey trims look really good when put together. Almost seems like those areas have more armor on them than the white parts, haha. Pictures seem to be higher res, yes. They look great on my laptop screen and I’m running 1980 x 1050.

Clean and awesome work. Gray is FANTASTIC.
Thanks!
P.S.
I forgot to mention that I painted the black on the knees.
That grey accentuate the overall body which is a pretty nice touch. The panel line is actually very well done. Thumb up man
