@WickedPony Oh, so it's like that ugly Hyaku Shiki I built? That's a shame. Good job on the paint then, if that's the case. Looks 100% better.
-
Oh, forgot to mention, this also came along with that Shining Gundam delivery on Friday. Can't be a Gunpla enthusiast without one:
No idea when I'll get around to building it. Maybe next stream...work schedule has been really busy.
-
@Gaming_Groove An RX-78-2 in every household!
-
I haven't
builtfinished a kit in a while. I should have the new ZZ come this weekend. Only ever had the MG FAZZ and that was ~15 years or so ago. Maybe if all goes well I'll get the 1/100 Hamma too.
-
@mute Ahh, the Ver Ka that just came out? Kinda want to get that too, so I could set it up on one of those action bases against my Qubeley Mk2 Ple2 Use.
-
@Minamik Yeah, from what I've seen it looks great, plus we don't get ZZ stuff that often. I'll just have to fight for time to work on it between Mario and everything else going on. Then maybe get back to my kit backlog.
-
@mute It's that kind of year, haha.
-
I actually built this one a couple of weeks before the Shining Gundam. I really enjoyed this build.
HG Gundam X Maoh
-
Just about finished with the main part of my Lupin III kit. In the meantime starting work on my Aestivalis Custom Hikaru Use from Martian Successor Nadesico. Excited to try out candy coating on this one.
-
Bit of cleanup to do some day...but for now the car part is done!
-
@Minamik
That's a nice model kit :) What did you used for panel lining?Here's my latest built. MG Exia and OO Qan[T]
Will add OO Raiser to the collection soon :)
OO Qan[T] and it's stupidly huge buster sword lol
-
@WickedPony When I bought all the paint and stuff, I also ordered a bottle of the Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color (Black).
-
Work in progress of my Aestivalis.
All the parts are primed, and the orange parts have been base coated in black, with silver on top of that. I'll be trying out a clear orange over those for a candy effect. The other 2 colors are supposed to be a black and a grey, but I want to give them a bit of a metallic look. Still not sure what to go with as far as a really dark metallic and a duller light grey metallic.
-
@Minamik
Can't wait to see the final result :)
-
@WickedPony Can already say I regret trying to hand paint clear orange on top of those silver parts, lol.
Gonna hunt for translucent spray paint the next time I try something like this.
-
@Minamik
Awww sorry to hear ;3;
But learning from mistakes make us a better builder XD
-
@WickedPony Thankfully, my next project doesn't require anywhere near as much detail painting.
And yes, if I were doing this all over again, I think I'd try going with Tamiya paint instead of Mr. Hobby, as I believe the Tamiya is an acrylic, where Mr. Hobby is a lacquer, and begins to dry in seconds, so it's super sticky if you're still trying to brush on it...and ugh...lol.
-
My current project :)
Why bought a 20 year old kit?
Well, relative bought a HG(I think) for me when I was still a pupper. And as pupper always do, I wrecked it after I got bored with it. So I bought this MG as a make up for my recklessness as a pupper lol
PS. I also bought MG GP01 as well for my bro in law as he was the one who build the old HG kit for me. I think he deserve that kit more than me.
-
@WickedPony Just from the picture it still looks like a pretty nice kit despite the age. The one I'm working on now was made in 98, lol.
-
Welp, now I've gone and done it. I broke some parts...
Now I get to see just how well Tamiya's plastic cement works, lol.
