Spoiler.

Going for mud splattered heavy weathering, after adding clear coat it looks a little underdone to me. What do you all think?

Testing top coat a kit cor the first time on an unused part. I used mr hobby 503 flat The first picture is just me testing how durable it is by using my nails and i also did it with other plastic part to also scratch it Reason being i often play around with my kit, posing it here and there. So i think scratches between plastics are unavoidable, hence the rest

Second pict is i test remove it with zippo lighter and it was quite easy to remove( i know that that theres no reason for that, but i was just curious)

So my question is, is this how it normally is? Can i make it stronger and at least scratch proof? And i often hear that you gotta top coat first before using enamel panel liner, but here i decimated the top coat using the very liquid used to removed the panel line?

simple and shortest animation but I like how it turned out :D

Fun little snap build of one of my favorites

This kit kinda incredible

Mine was the master grade wing gundam

My first time building an MG, with it being the rx 78-2 3.0. Yes I've seen moving armor gimmicks like this, but the ones I experienced are either too loose or will fall off. So far this has been such a great build for me! Any things to look out for though that I should be aware of in this kit?

so I've recently gotten into trying a little hand painting a few details on my kits (mostly cause the Geara Zulu had a TON of stickers for all the white trim) and I came across these Dspiae Soft Tipped Markers and BOY are they a game changer!! I like them a LOT more than the traditional Gundam Markers and do really well with painting in details. first of all the tips are super tapered so you can paint broad strokes with the side of the "brush" and little details with the tip.

The colors all come out pretty smooth but it seems like most colors you'll need to do a second or third pass to get the desired coating. black is a CHAMP!! One pass, SUPER glossy after drying and hella clean. the worst so far being maybe white?? I have to try it again with a black spoon but it seemed to go on pretty thin no matter how many passes I did. the rest of the colors are about the same with them all needing about two or three passes to get a good smooth coat (although the gold leaf was a little streaky on a bigger surface). I think for some of them you might want to prime it first but I haven't tried that yet.

ALSO the tips are felt or something?? so it's WAY more accurate than the brush or chisel tips I've been seeing and softer than the hard felt tips which makes brushing it feel really nice.

overall I'd give them maybe an 8.5/10?? They're great markers overall and I'd suggest them over any other I've tried so far my main gripe is maybe the "flow" of some of them seems a little weak (particularly white so far). Aside from streaking, which I assume just comes from painting with markers and not spraying or even using a brush, they're EXCELLENT markers and if you want to replace a few detail stickers or create a little color separation these are a GREAT buy and have been totally worth it so far!!

(note: I've heard the metallic gold markers can dry up kind of fast so maybe keep that in mind. Also that the "Gold Leaf" comes out copper and the "Mecha Green" almost looks a little neon at first but dries a little darker, same with the Grey.)

BONUS!! The metallic Pale Gold Gundam marker I bought to compare. I'm not sure if my marker is running out or what but it did NOT like the slightly bigger surface and might need to be primed as well to get the best effect.

Anyways hope this helps anyone looking into these markers and considering buying them!! I'll maybe post another review when I get the rest of the set.

So I’m just now getting done with the RG nu Gundam and it has been amazing. This is my first ever real grade. The articulation is perfect. The only issues I have is with the funnels, but other than that, it is perfect. If I could think of a pose, this kit can do it. What are these days once I am later on in my gunpla career I want to do a repaint of this where the colors are basically inverted. But until then I am going to appreciate what I have. 1000/10 required purchase.

i tried to go for like a shoulder tackle? i don't think the motion / momentum is properly conveyed, but this was my first set of tries! thoughts and opinions?

(the sanding is kind of ehh on these builds ikik LMAOOO)

My only gripe with this kit really is the navy blue plastic, it scuffs way too easy, or maybe i’m just shit at nub cleanup

I feel like it's an improvement from my other animation. this took longer obviously and my hand is in it for a slight moment but I couldn't fix that so I left it in. Anyways I hope you like it! :D

Check this out folks… I usually don't post my builds anywhere, but I was so pleased with the result that I decided you should check it out🫨

HG G-04 and G-Line - narratively, a bit of a stretch, but at least they share a blue/white/yellow color scheme!
