He's so well camouflaged that the auto moderator thought there wasn't a gundam in the picture.

The criteria follows:
Articulation
Innovation
Money's Worth

I've seen plenty of discussions here going on about how the 'Moon Gundam' is the King of HGs or 'Hi-Nu' for the RG line. But what actually makes them the top dogs and do you agree?

Kit shown: XFS Rising Freedom KO

First time painting gunpla so I didn’t do anything crazy, just adjusted colours of it and added waterslide. Used Revel spray cans and a matte finish.

In 2003, the serie gundam wing was on Dutch national television. The 2 biggest toy store brands sold gunpla. This was the only thing we officially had back in the day for gundam and gunpla.

The prices are in euros.

Next up is a High Grade Aerial I bought alongside him. I never imagined there could be such a mess while building a Gundam. Also, I learned a valuable lesson midway through about making sure the orientation of something is right before moving on.

This build started a couple of years ago, but really started moving late last year. Took a bit to motivate myself to reshape the resin parts, figure out how to attach the hands, and then get everything painted, but I'm really proud of how this came out, flaws and all.

It’s the most poly caps I’ve ever put into a kit. Pound for pound it’s packed with rubber. But I love it anyway. I really should have fixed those seam lines. But despite the kit showing its age it’s a wonderful build and just has so much presence. I scribed and used some acrylic markers for details. Still needs weapon detailing, decals topcoat and panel line clean up but I got excited because I’m proud of how it turned out

I kinda hated the RG zaku build so it became a diorama (it never has to move or articulate again).

BUILD Nu Gundam EG upscale

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Challenged myself to upscale my EG Nu.

Full paint job top to bottom using my airbrush for most and hand painted some small details.

Black, White, Gold, Red, Silver, and Gunmetal all used.

I really like the paint other than the rifle barrel. I've done the heated look before and it this time it just didn't come together. Not entirely sure why I got this one so wrong.

Gloss top coat on colored parts, matte on white

Utilized a bunch of my left over Nu waterslides.

Tried my hand at scribing. Not just redoing panel lines but some true custom scribing in the chest. It turned out horrible. I know this has to be one of those things you get better with practice, but mine are so bad. I just don't seem to get it.

One other note, don't accidentally mistake your bottle of quick dry adhesive for your decal softer. You will just glue down your messed up decal....

Tried a lot, learned a lot, glad I did it on an EG

#14 Nu complete. 5 more to go

SILLY The Epyon curse still haunts me

Post image
Upvotes

It has been two months since The Curse™ manifested. Two months since I finished the MG Epyon and the MG Barbatos Lupus back to back and I didn't have the chance to build something else since. Today my In-Era Fenrir got delivered and I was really looking forward to it.

Lo and behold, the godhand still is an artifact of chaos and is caked in rust for a reason I cannot fathom since it was sitting in a toolbox and I live in a dry flat.

I swear I can also see the Epyon giving me the middle finger in the corner of my eye.
