1/144 GN Arms Type E part 2

Gallery June 22, 2014 GN Leave a comment

For the most part of the painting of this kit, it's been a case of masking, masking and more masking! For the blue pieces, I undercoated with Alclad white because that is the colour I wanted to reveal when the mask was removed, and it also makes the blue I was going to put on … Continue Reading ››

One recurring theme I really like in the various Gundam universes are large weapon platforms that the mechs can dock with, like the Meteor Units in Seed, and the GN Arms in 00. I don't know if I want to build the HG Exia that comes with this kit (and I wasn't going to pay … Continue Reading ››

I'm trying out some different lights on these shots. I wish I had somewhere I could permanently set up the right lights and backdrop, but at the moment I'm still just using the projector screen for the smooth white backdrop.

So here's the Armored Messiah in Gerwalk … Continue Reading ››

There's only a few parts left to paint, so assembly can really begin. I'm taking it very carefully though and not rushing.

This section went together quite well, but the clip on arm that hold the neck and head just keeps popping off. I don't think that … Continue Reading ››

I started on some more of the sub-assemblies. Due to the vast amount of tricky decals, there's no way I can wait until the end to do them. Even the instructions advise doing some of the decals during assembly as you'd not be able to properly fit them afterwards.

Now that a good number of the pieces have been painted, I can begin some of the assemblies.

This front of the plane section went together quite well. I had to re-paint the nose-cone white and it came out a bit whiter than the rest of the … Continue Reading ››

Because these armour parts are all dark blue, it made little sense to do a black panel line wash that would never be seen. My experience recently, especially with Sazabi is that a white panel line wash can look really attractive in these situations.

For the white … Continue Reading ››

For the dark blue pieces, I've started with a good layer of Tamiya gunmetal. Sometimes this paint comes out bright, other times dark. I guess it's a factor on how well the bottle is mixed. This bottle came out bright, but not worries!

These leg pieces have … Continue Reading ››
