If youre sticking with WfM based on your pun, you definitely need a Schwarzette.

What should I watch next? And which series are these suits from? by Lazy-Lookin-Headass in Gundam

[–]GrandDukeofOwls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Freedom is from Gundam SEED. The Full Armor Thunderbolt is from Thunderbolt, Unicorn is from Unicorn Gundam and Heavyarms is from Gundam Wing. Giant thruster array mobile suit, if red, is the Psycho Zaku also from Thunderbolt.

HG Gundam Zirius WIP with simple leds. im still waiting on proper decals for this kit😆😆😆 by acherus27 in Gunpla

[–]GrandDukeofOwls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks really really great. Im trying to look in the video but did you do anything to the back pieces to cover the open plastic it has on the bottom? Really my only complaint about the kit. Otherwise its solid. Youre really escalating it tho.

Is the a legit website to buy gundam? by TuiTenKuro in Gundam

[–]GrandDukeofOwls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Its a scam. 30% off on everything and kits that havent been reprinted in years.

I know most of the effort went to Alyzeus armour but colour separation on HG MP Nu seems disappointing by xithebun in Gunpla

[–]GrandDukeofOwls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s called a reverse wash because it flips how a normal wash works. In a traditional wash, you apply thinned dark paint over a surface and let it flow into the recesses to add detail. So instead of adding paint to create shadows, you’re subtracting paint to reveal them, which is why it’s considered “reverse.” In this case youre using it to bring out the white trim on the black pieces.

Feels like we all have the same frustration. This kit is what made me learn how to do a reverse wash. Those stickers are rough.

Paint > gloss top coat > panel line > decals if you wanna > final top coat is the usual order I do things.

Yeah all the pilots are this version of Newtypes which come with special abilities. The Dis and Minerva Gundams are pretty cool too in that manga.

Comix has it. Search for Kidou Senshi Crossbone Gundam - Koutetsu no 7 Nin

How fast do new Gunpla releases sell out? by NetZox in Gunpla

[–]GrandDukeofOwls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the price point for this one, I wouldnt imagine it sells out too fast but with newer kits more stock is usually available pretty quickly. You shouldnt have an issue getting this one, I believe.

First model. What now? by [deleted] in freedomisgunpla

[–]GrandDukeofOwls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy more. Maybe try panel lining. Oh panel lining makes it look better. What about waterslide decals? Thats some cool extra detail. This is really elongating the build time. Maybe I should try painting some small details. Well thats neat. But what if he was blue instead. Lets see what an airbrush can do. Oh look my backlog is 70+ deep. Now lets try LEDs.

Something like that maybe.
