1/35 Nu Gundam Head part 4

Gallery December 9, 2013 GN Leave a comment

The final section of this kit is the base. The base was rather tricky to get together, the pieces were very tight to fit and a fair bit of strength was needed for assembly.

For the painting of the side and front pieces, I had to refer … Continue Reading ››

For the head armour, I pre-shaded the pieces, masked some detail sections that had Vallejo aluminium sprayed on them, and then did a top coat of Createx pearl white. The pearl white makes for a nice metallic finish that's no overpowering, and also blends the pre-shading very nicely. SAM_0490

One thing you really notice when starting to work with a kit is the plastic itself. This kit has that strange plastic odour when you sand it, similar to how the big Kastrysha smelled, but the plastic is certainly different from that kit. It's harder and not as flexible. … Continue Reading ››

RG Destiny part 2

Destiny came together pretty quickly. It's a very nice RG kit and has some really nice touches. I like the special hands with their palm guns. I like the light blue detail on the chest section, I like the use of colour, especially how the blue extends down the arms. But most of all, it's … Continue Reading ››

RG Destiny

I've had RG Destiny for some while, but was waiting on the "Wings of Light" arriving before I started building it. The wings arrived, and quite nice they look too, and you also get a nice clear grey stand.

I don't have early photos of the kit, … Continue Reading ››

So I found this interesting kit from the Chinese company Hobby Crazy on Ebay. It comes with LED lights and looks like it's going to be a fun build. But not yet.... I have RG Destiny to complete.

Let's start off with a big shot of these three Unicorn mechs together!

Given the size of this kit, and stability with the binders, I decided to do a bit of experimentation on the stand for display. I've taken three standard 1/100 display bases together (see later … Continue Reading ››

Now that practically all the sub-assemblies for the binders are done, it's time to start putting things together.

Getting the insides of the binders in place, while maintaining electrical continuity was tricky, but by now I didn't expect it to be simple! The chromed piece that the … Continue Reading ››

Detail work on the binders progresses well. I must admit I do enjoy the painting of the small detail sections, even if, as you can see below, they do get covered up!

The details, as per usual, were done with Tamiya clear red, orange, yellow and blue. … Continue Reading ››

The shoulders and arms went together reasonably well.

At this point I re-connected the battery pack and did a test of the 4 shoulder points where the binders will attach. I wanted to still sure I was electrically sound. All was good. SAM_0212
