I have finished the waist, one leg, and I decaled the arms. I used two of my leftover decals from one of my first kits, the MG Heavyarms. The style of the decal looked nice on the grey, so I added it. I liked how the decal looked weathered when on the kit. I think this kit looks better with minimal decals, so I was very sparse with them.
It’s been quite a bit since my last update! I finished painting almost all of the parts, and the masking tape worked beautifully. Tamiya masking tape is well worth the extra money. I messed up on one of the parts, so I think I’ll have to strip it and start over. The problem is that I ran out of paint. I’ll have to buy more. Do you think I should…[Read more]
Looks like you’re adding RG-style color separation to this kit. Or maybe a two-tone desert/urban color scheme? That’s some beautiful work either way, haha.
Very nice work! I really like the RG colour seperation on MG kits and yours is looking great! I did something similar with my entry. The tamiya masking tape works wonders!
I lost track of my posts on this project, haha. I finished the chest (besides the white piece), and it was a pain to build, most notably in the cockpit area. I got a new lighting setup. It’s not that great, but it’ll do for my needs.
Never mind. I have decided to use the broken parts. One of the upsides to this is that it will help speed up the painting process, since days with nice weather are scarce these days. I hope everything works out in the end. I am NOT giving up.
You should definitely order those replacements ASAP, mate. GK has a tendency to be backed up for a few weeks due to the number of people using their service. :/ Anywho, I’m definitely looking forward to your build!
I have no idea. Probably 2-3 weeks. It all depends on how long it takes for GK to receive the parts. I ordered the parts with EMS shipping, and the total was a whopping $22. I do not recommend EMS shipping unless you want your parts to arrive quickly.
I see, thanks for telling, because I didn’t know about GK parts before. I also want to order replacements, not for my RX78, but for my Strike-IWSP that I have right now.
I saw that action base earlier in the week and it made me drool. I think I’ll buy a couple. As for the MG X… I’m tempted to buy it instead of the HG Double X.
