Sending another painted space autistic into their plastic tomb. I always find it funny the details I try to paint only to never see them again once the kit is built.
This is one of my favorite projects I've done. I like Aerial and Full Armor MSs, so decided to make my own. I used HG Aerial Rebuild as the base, and parts from HG Aerial, HG Strike Freedom, parts from various 30MM kits, and MSG Composite Plate unit. This build involved quite a bit of custom work.
It’s discussion times again. What’s in your backlog?
I’ll go first. I don’t have a physical backlog in the traditional sense, but I am waiting on some stuff from P-Bandai. I have pre-ordered an MG Tallgeese Fluegel, MG Altron, and MG Unicorn Recirculation.
Custom paint and scribing. There’s no decals on this kit. I was inspired by a picture I found of an HG Gouf 21st Century Real Type. It tool a week of painting after work to de-Smurf, but I’m fairly satisfied with the way it turned out. My ham hands broke the horn 3 times and an ab joint once. The horn was my fault, but the abs are a weak design and care should be taken.
I’m loving how my Zeta plus is coming out! I’m refusing all stickers so paint it is. Red metallic enamel, some tamiya for panels, and so black acrylic pens for the recesses. I just have the body and weapons to go
This is the 30MF Liber Knight with the Holy Knight upgrade. I painted the armor pieces and blue parts, panel lined, and applied a gloss topcoat. These guys are highly articulate and fun to play around with.
This is one of the last kits I built before I got an airbrush. I don't think it really shows in the pic, but I applied a craptastic topcoat that had a bit of frosting. I really liked how this one came with a custom stand for displaying the fin funnels. I'd really like to see all of the higher-end kits (ver.ka, MGEX, PG) come with at least a basic stand, if not something bespoke. I'd like to get another of this kit and paint it up nicely, buuuut... maybe some day down the road.
I wasn't happy with my existing lighting setup, so I got some poster board and some LED lights to improve my shots. I grabbed a few built models off the shelf for some test photos. I would appreciate any feedback as I am a noob photographer.
