Legend BB FA Knight Gundam photos

Gallery October 24, 2014 GN Leave a comment

This is my first SD Gundam kit and I really enjoyed it. The colours of the paint didn't come out exactly as intended, but I'm not unhappy as the end result looks great.

There's a fair bit of masking to do on the kit, but it went … Continue Reading ››

Black Lotus photos

Under normal light, we can see the details of this kit more clearly. Although not really designed to be painted, I'm pleased I added the purple details. The smoked plastic works well for this kit, but this does make it tricky to paint, for example where I avoided the stickers on the head "horns".Continue Reading ››

LBX Hyper Ifreet

My kids had built a few LBX kits and had a lot of fun with them. I'd originally bought LBX Lucifer for myself just based on how it looks, but it got handed over to my eldest one rainy day to give her something to challenge her. She did a super job, and I was … Continue Reading ››

RX-105 Xi part 3

This week's challenge on Xi was white, and how to paint it. I've always found white paint a challenge in that it seems to show every imperfection, and as often you need multiple layers of paint to build up a decent white, that just amplifies the issues. I tried some different mixes of the Createx white … Continue Reading ››

RX-105 Xi part 2

Here's the frame all assembled. I doubt we'll see much of it, but I added some details in gold for fun, and gave the whole thing a nice flat coat which always works so well on top of Tamiya gunmetal.

The 1/144 RX-105 "Gundoom" arrived while I was building up Sazabi The Second. It's an interesting kit, so lets begin....

I didn't get the box so Hobbymate could keep the shipping costs down. The instructions have a good number of colour pages with nice photos of the … Continue Reading ››

Legend BB FA Knight Gundam

I'll have to grab some better pictures of this little guy because he was rather a fun and quick build. I had to mask lots to avoid the use of stickers, and I carefully hand painted some of the smaller details. The light blue sections didn't come out as light as I'd have wanted and … Continue Reading ››

Black Lotus

Gallery October 1, 2014 GN 2 Comments

We all thoroughly enjoyed the Accel World anime here, so I decided to have a go at building Black Lotus. I have Silver Crow on order, and will build that later.

Because the kit I was able to get was a special edition clear plastic version, I … Continue Reading ››

MG Sazabi The Second – Completion

Gallery October 1, 2014 GN 3 Comments

We left the Sazabi with the frame painted, but with only a couple of armour pieces that need to be assembled into the frame completed. These pieces also served as a test for the three shades of red I was going to use:
