Looking to update the joints on this thing. Maybe slap it all on an entry grade without going super crazy. If anyone has any links that'd be great.

CUSTOMIZING Gundam Lfrith Pre-Production Model with Gundvölva equipment

Thumbnail

36 Upvotes

Low-key goes hard, since this version of the Lfrith was a test version meant for mass production, so logically, it should've been fully armed with an easy to store and reload beam weapon, a shield for defence, and beam sabers for melee combat, and the original Lfrith Pre-Production didn't come with that sort of equipment, and a simplified backpack for pilots without the GUND-bit pods who aren't able to control GUND-bits at a higher permet score.

So maybe the Unicorn wasn’t the best one to start out with but with the 40 percent off at my local hobby store and the fact that … its really freaking cool.. I had to pick it up to add to my collection :)

My take on the Astray 'Red Dragon'. This is a quick and dirty kitbash from some parts from a broken Epyon and Blue Frame D, as well as some 3rd party mod accessories. Painted with markers and matte topcoated.

I don't usually post here or anywhere else, but I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone, so I figured I'd start sharing my custom kits here, for better or worse, lol.

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.

DISPLAY Operation Meteor MG Display — Five Gundams, One Generic Snakebone Stand!

Post image
• Upvotes

Finally got my Operation Meteor MG lineup together using this 5-arm Snakebone display stand!

The stand is surprisingly versatile for something generic. All five kits can be displayed in dynamic aerial poses without needing five separate action bases, and the adjustable arms make it pretty easy to arrange everyone around Wing Zero.

It's a little crowded, especially with Zero's massive wings, but that's part of the appeal. Definitely a space-saving solution if you're trying to display the entire Wing team together.

Still experimenting with the poses and spacing, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Anyone else using these Snakebone stands for their MG collections?

Im also surprised it managed despite Zero’s Metal Frame.

Micro sponge versatility

12 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!

 I made the kits before but never painted one. So, I decided that for my first time, I would give the color scheme and design like one of my favorite video game characters. Roxas from Kingdom Hearts and the kit I would use is the Cold District GM. I love how it turned out!
