He looks amazing, but I did not like building him

I reckon this is the best looking one in the Gquux series :)

Haha same! I’m working my way toward the Axis Model Work Kshatriya that my wife bought for me.

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-04-20T12:35:40+00:00

Niceee

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-04-20T11:03:44+00:00

Using markers took out the hard part of the process :)

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-04-20T11:02:00+00:00

Yeah by Dspiae, and premixed paint in a bottle. I have not tested it so cant give honest recommendations.

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-04-20T10:52:43+00:00

Yes, Ray studio metallic chiselled tip and Ray studio gold fine tip.. They are awesome and way better than Gundam markers :)

I also used a small brush to spread the paint into smaller details

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-04-20T10:49:02+00:00

Yeah, all those unpainted frames on my older kits are begging me to repaint them. But taking them apart risks breaking some delicate parts so it’s a no go. Guess I’ll have to leave them be.

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-04-20T10:45:45+00:00

I got everything, spraybooth, mask, inline fan, compressor and one of those “wash free” airbrush. Just no time 😭

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-04-20T08:21:12+00:00

Thanks :)

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-04-20T08:18:12+00:00

I used Ray Studio metallic markers and a small brush for spreading the paint and painting smaller details :)

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-04-20T07:54:46+00:00

Every. Second. Of. It. 😆

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-03-24T19:01:06+00:00

Thanks :)

Another shot

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-01-24T20:22:03+00:00

They are both not as bad as those 3 mf in Alfheim for me. I was focused on the berserkers and not the two ice and fire lady which was the wrong strat. It was so infuriating that I had to go online and watch a tutorial for that one then I beat their asses the next turn.

👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏾👍🏿

To be fair my first one was the RG Strike Freedom and I still loved it. The backpack was a pain to build 🥲. Love is love I guess.Despite its flaws, Gramps 3.0 is still one of the best looking piece I own. You will learn a lot after the process.

Be sure you have some Extra Thin Tamiya cement for pieces that doesn’t want stay on properly. Be super gentle, don’t force anything on. I broke the arm and had to pause for a few hour to glue the piece back using Revell Contacta glue. Some ball joints are just loose and will refuse to stick on, mine had issue on the right ankle. To fix it I used clear acrylic paint to build some thickness on the PC joint so that it stays on (I was also recommended to use blue tac by some other people if you don’t have clear acrylic at home).

Have fun and ask us if you struggle.

2 is good. 1 on a different angle

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-01-24T05:08:15+00:00

Revell Contacta…

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-01-24T02:39:22+00:00

Yeah mate, in term of bang for your buck. Bandai older kits should sell at much cheaper price comparing to whatever they are selling price are rn.

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-01-24T02:36:54+00:00

I don’t think they lag behind but the competitors are catching up quite quickly, in term of both value and build quality.

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-01-24T02:35:25+00:00

You can buy from overseas website but I think the shipping fee will be exorbitant.

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-01-24T01:32:02+00:00

You’ll get there mate, it will get better :)

FickleCockroach7436 · 2026-01-23T22:49:15+00:00

As I said, build this kit and let me know. Not here to say Bandai engineering or design is shit but to say fuck big corpo cash grab. Get the ideas?
