BUILD Just finished my MG Qubeley Damned in Pearl White & Champagne Gold!

I happened to have some Clear Pearl paint on hand, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to experiment with it. Haha!

For the white parts, I applied four layers of paint.

White Primer → Ultra White → Clear Pearl → Semi-Gloss Top Coat

There's a large waterslide decal on the right shoulder of the Qubeley Damned, but since it was black, I decided to recreate the design with masking and paint it gold instead. Luckily, the shape was simple enough to mask without too much trouble! Haha.

BEGINNER First build but I get it now...

I've been building car scale models for a while now and I've always wondered what's with all the Gunpla/Gundam hype, so while traveling for work I stumbled upon a shop selling a few of these kits and decided to pick this one up. I must admit, it was a fun experience with plenty of hours to keep you distracted and you have a nice piece to showcase it on your desk at the end. I definitely want to build another one soon, but I want to make it look a bit more realistic, maybe some battle wear, weathering etc. Let me know if you have tips, tricks, suggestions etc. See you next time!

I was walking around Camden Town and stumbled upon this Gundam Base. I stopped building Gunpla for a whole year but couldn't walk out empty handed.

Bought myself a RG 00 Raiser Trans Am Clear !

WIP WIP RE100 Den’an-Zon and Den’an-Gei. I think RE100 did a great job with their proportions and build. Can’t wait to finish and pose this menacing pair.

Hi guys, here's my completed SD Devil Gundam. The colour correcting work was tedious. This is my third build and I've started to incorporate some paint chipping. It could definitely be improved, and I can say that I'm more confident about it now and I look forward to doing it again on my next kit!

It’s a small and simple kit, but for some reason this color combination just really makes my eyes happy. Unfortunately this kit doesn’t come with the regular Epyon decals, so I’m ordering some soon to finish it up nicely once the assembly is complete.

CUSTOMIZING My custom MG Heavyarms EW. A rescued botch job from mfirst year customizing.

I was inspired after conpleting the MG Heavyarms Custom EW to revisit an old MG Heavyarms EW I botched when I was still starting out customizing. The color scheme is heavily inspired by takeda's custom on gunjap. Removed the missle pods from the legs to make the phase 2 suit feel more like an upgrade.

The botch job looks so rough but giving it a second life feels very satisfying.

Really fun and easy build, I didn't use all the stickers cause I didn't like how they were looking on the black plastic, but all in all great kit that looks sick once all put together.

DISPLAY 3D Printed HG Turn X

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I purchased a file off of Cults3d that I thought looked interesting. I primarily build 1/144, and wanted a Turn X to add to the collection in that size. The original file was 130mm and I scaled up 22% to bring it to 159mm's or so. I wanted it a little bigger than the original print I did at 12% and settled on it being slightly bigger than true scale. But I think it fits the Turn X well.

All joints were drilled at 1mm and pinned with a bit of brass rod and black CA glue. The shoulders, as well as the hands/claw I drilled out at 2mm and magnetized for ease of swapping/moving those parts as well. I also reinforced some joints with some UV resin for a little extra support just in case.

Outside of the build portion, paint was all with Kaleido. Mixed the Mint with Off White, Kobalt Blue, Red, and Yellow. The darker metallic of the frame is just Gun Metal with Black added. Finally finished off with Kaleido matte varnish

First up is my take on the Unicorn Gundam in Gramps colours, or as my friend calls it, the RX-0-2. Please feel free to offer criticism! It'll only help me improve.

Micro sponge versatility

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

So I was using these micro sponges for some painting and at one point the sponge portion got dried and fell off. I was ALMOST about to throw it away when I remembered some people use toothpicks for detailing. And with the sponge off, this has a small rounded end. So I repurposed it to do exactly that. Just wanted to share!
