1/100 MG Sazabi ver Ka part 2

Gallery February 18, 2014 GN 2 Comments

Sazabi is a really big kit. There's lots of parts on the armour and some of them have stickers, so I decided to mask them, and airbrush different undercoats so as to produce the differentiated red tones I'm after.

Although the backlog is large, it's only going to get smaller by picking a kit to build next. I'd had enough time to think where I wanted to go next, and that was Sazabi.

It's a big kit! It comes in a box 1/2 the size of … Continue Reading ››

I entered this build in the HLJ Playing with Plamo competition, so now that that's over, I'm blogging my build.

Starting with the box, it's a decent sized MG kit. I've not had much luck with transforming kits, so I took this as a challenge. Continue Reading ››

I've built of few RG kits since I started Gunpla. None have disappointed me, and the RG Strike Freedom doesn't either. I built the PG Strike Freedom last year, and it is a great big monster of a kit, but it's also problematic: the wings are delicate to position and their … Continue Reading ››

Over xmas we had a power cut, so airbrush was not an option. But luckily I had these two kits that don't really need any painting. They're cute, they're fun, and they're a little fiddly to put together. But they look great!

The little camera I keep in the craft room died, (but it's in to get repaired) so I didn't get many pictures of the RG Strike Freedom being built. Something interesting happened though while I was doing an initial paint on the frame. I sprayed on the Alclad gloss black primer as normal, and then I … Continue Reading ››

I've been getting very good feedback on the first batch of RX-78-2 photos, so I've refined my lighting setup further and tried some more dynamic poses...

After some thought, I've managed to do a temporary photography set-up and grabbed some nice shots of the newly complete RX-78-2. With this kit I used Alclad flat top coat after I added the water-slide decals. I'm very happy with how this top coat looks.

This is … Continue Reading ››

MG 1/100 RX-78-2 V3.0 part 2

Gallery January 22, 2014 GN 2 Comments

RX-78-2 continues to be an interesting and enjoyable build. As with all Gundam kits, I tend to really enjoy the leg sections, and this kit is no exception. There's some nice details on the legs and I've painted in where I think will stand out appropriately on the final kit. I went with the copper … Continue Reading ››
