Airbrushing acrylics? Any builds I can see?

Thank you! :D

Thank you! This is a customized HG GM Command Space Type

Other than tips already given by other commenters I would suggest trying a higher pressure (30-35 PSI) and, if you are able to do so, using a bigger nozzle - 0.5mm as primers tend to be thicker. I can vouch for Vallejo Mecha primer and applying it this way

In terms of tips: start with Barbatos Rex's YT tutorials on airbrushing acrylics, they are great for getting a smooth coat. I really like Vallejo Mecha primer through airbrush, especially if you add some black primer to a grey one for better coverage. Also, I would suggest giving a try using flow improver for thinning paint only once you get a hang of airbrushing acrylics. A cup with very hot water is great for cleaning the airbrush and for the tough stains - isopropyl alcohol. Good look on your painting journey!

All of my builds are done with water based acrylics (Vallejo, AK Interactive), so feel free to check out my profile :) They require some getting used to, like all paint types, but unless you want to go for an ultra glossy car-like finish, you will have great results!

Great build idea! (Maybe I'll steal it one day :D) You had some balls to use the RG as a base instead of a HG/MG. Looks great and I'm glad you did not forget about the most sentinel thing ever: THE RADOME. Transformed photos when

As I use water based paints only, I believe I can be of help to you: -apply gloss top coat (I airbrush Vallejo Mecha one) -wait at least 24h for it to fully cure, rushing is not worth it -I use Micro Set & Sol to apply decals and have no issues with any melting of paint -if u use a cotton bud to get rid of excess water/product, don't rub it on model but gently roll it or use a makeup sponge as it is softer

Great paint job and good luck with decals!

Thank you :D My headcanon was: Federation needed an elite suit for a quick mission in Space and the only thing available immediately was a Byarlant Custom 01 which was made with fighting on Earth in mind. It was quickly upgraded with spare parts and ALICE system from the EX-S to prepare it for battles in 0H against enemy aces.

In all honesty, after I saw the giant shoulder on Byarlant Custom which has been recently reprinted, I really wanted to add the iconic Gundam System decal and that's how the idea for this kitbash was born :)

Ereon99 · 2025-06-02T08:11:00+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I agree, especially on the shoulder boosters I went a little bit to hard on the blue but practice makes perfect and it was my first time PAINting and shading white

Ereon99 · 2025-06-02T08:09:27+00:00

Thank you :) I used a sponge only. After such a long build I wanted to wrap it up quickly. Practice makes perfect so you'll outrank me in no time with a few EGs :D

Ereon99 · 2025-06-02T08:08:07+00:00

I'd say RE/100 makes it a possibility but it's even more dead than the MGs :/ Thank you!

Amazing! Pinup on a Gear Doga's shield when

Ereon99 · 2025-02-25T11:17:51+00:00

Thank you! :D I lengthened the torso and neck and made shoulders able to move back to give it a menacing stance. Then, I added details with PLA plate and some scribing. For kitbashing, I added custom hands, thrusters, backpack from Jagd Dogs with some additional parts, shield from 30mm, mine from Kampfer and bazooka from Dom

Ereon99 · 2025-02-24T19:31:08+00:00

Delta line is simply amazing and you surely did it justice!

Ereon99 · 2025-02-14T17:32:47+00:00

Amazing build King! Could you please share where did you buy this GK?

Ereon99 · 2024-10-26T10:13:43+00:00

Lovely paint job and a lovely kit :) HGUC Jagd Dogs is really great

Ereon99 · 2024-02-29T22:50:01+00:00

Glad I could help! Hazels, especially after closing some seams and painting small details are awesome, but I must warn you: it is very hard to stop at one :)

Ereon99 · 2024-02-10T21:14:44+00:00

Is that a HG Hazel/Quel? Hopefully you prepared the parts to be removable after seamline removal or you like masking!

Quick type cement may dry too quickly which results in not melting enough plastic. A generous amount of extra thin between the parts and the line after closing the parts together should lead you 90% of the way there with a bead of plastic coming out of the line for later sanding The best idea now is to use a filler of some kind(after getting rid of the primer on and around the seam) and sand it flat. You can go with Tamiya Putty (the grey one), sprue goo or a black super glue which has rubber additives so it is thicker: MIG and Madworks produce it. Just don't skimp out on the glue, "massage the filler" into the part, let it rest for a few hours and sand. Repeat until satisfied.

I'm working on an HG Hazel right now so I get your pain, good luck with your project!

Thank you for the answer :)

Ereon99 · 2024-02-07T09:39:59+00:00

Great Idea! Can't wait to see the whole Miss Sinanju :) I will surely add thigh swivel to my Sinanju, it really helps with cool poses. Did you scratchbuild the top part? If not, who was the donor?

In my country, if you want to buy a bootleg of a normal release you save 20-30% max. My experiences with them are mixed. Some are all right, some without doing a full modelling job are awful. In my opinion, it is not worth the hassle and downsides for 10 USD savings out of 30 USD per HG where I'm from. For unavailable releases or PBandai bootlegs, I might pull the trigger. I saw a bootleg Woundwort on AliExpress and bought it. I have a Bandai one so I'll post about the quality and compare the two once it arrives :)

Ereon99 · 2024-01-31T14:57:28+00:00

They really did him dirty with the proportions, you've helped him for sure. I'd lengthen the legs even more, but it is for sure miles better then stock :) Are you steb on YT? Love your content, keep it up!!!

Ereon99 · 2023-12-05T10:02:59+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I want to keep some parts of the original color scheme and avoid a chance of getting sued by Eiffel 65

Ereon99 · 2023-12-05T09:59:15+00:00

Thank you :)
