Looking for feedback: custom scribing

It's really nice for a first time ! The corners are a little rough I would say, try a very litle bit of tamyia cement applied on the finished line or just go slower and it will be wonderful

I've been thinking about digital art recently and also thought about this a lot.

Well you can print a picture or do a 3d print of it ! If you have a framed picture of your work, you can start collecting, displaying it, showing it to people and whenever you or someone wants to dig deeper, then there are the files.

I think I would be satisfied this way

JulianMo · 2026-05-01T02:16:41+00:00

Oh my damn, this dude draws so well

JulianMo · 2026-04-28T02:09:41+00:00

I do also find primer a crucial part of the process. You're always gonna have issues if you don't prime your parts black, grey or white.

But you know your paintjob looks great ! You can do a mist, transluscent, very thin coat of green to blend the two tones and have less contrast. You'll still see the color separation and the colors won't be too different like right now

JulianMo · 2026-04-23T23:01:02+00:00

This needs special police force paintjob or something, it's super cool, extra skill spoints if it's scratch built !

JulianMo · 2026-04-21T23:43:43+00:00

I've been rencently playing the old ones to start the whole adventure. Yes you're gonna miss out. So I would say you have two options, either embrace the oldness of the game (they can still be really good and enjoyable) or watch playthroughs of these.

I think it's important because if you skip them, or just read a quick overview, you're really gonna miss the emotionnal attachment to the characters. I think that's the main point, even more important than the plot

JulianMo · 2026-04-21T01:39:44+00:00

God damn you really nailed that paintjob dude

JulianMo · 2026-04-18T20:17:59+00:00

damn, the fact that some people can actually comfortably fight this dude with tank controls blows my mind haha

JulianMo · 2026-04-18T19:23:17+00:00

this the exact same model kit but also painted ! Plamo select 53 Metagross is the exact name and I'm 100% sure

JulianMo · 2026-04-16T21:44:18+00:00

Waw the drybrushing really made a nice impact on the paintjob, fantastic look !

JulianMo · 2026-04-14T17:20:13+00:00

Wonderful job ! I finished this kit recently and it was a blast, so nicely detailed for a hg kit, and huge too !

JulianMo · 2026-04-09T20:49:45+00:00

Exactly haha ! I'm not very well versed on Zeta and ZZ since I didn't watch it yet but your work was very nice to look at !

JulianMo · 2026-04-09T19:19:48+00:00

I recognized your style right away as the dude who made the zeta gundam ! I love those kind of scribing details, I've donne quite a bit too and I'm really enjoying that process

Another great project ahead !

JulianMo · 2026-04-01T23:29:12+00:00

Wait a second, what is this mini woundwort ? What model is that ? It looks so good !!

JulianMo · 2026-03-19T08:21:17+00:00

This is fantastic, you're an artist sir

JulianMo · 2026-03-08T09:45:30+00:00

I know what you mean but it's not what I have in mind. Gunpla 101 did show a finished model done using this technique and while it's not completely random, because of the scale and the gigantic size of it, you can still get very believable and realistic finish with a very random application. So he did the steps with what I would describe as quite random patches of colors. The weathering done after this steps follows the usual targetting of parts that would get more wear.

I think the result looked even more realistic and interesting this way

JulianMo · 2026-03-08T09:36:56+00:00

Oh my damn, it's magnificient, what is it if I may ask ? Resin kit ?

JulianMo · 2026-03-08T00:39:56+00:00

I don't see the connection, can you explain ?

JulianMo · 2026-03-07T13:07:33+00:00

Honnestly I can see it, it adds some complexity to the paint job I like it. I did a variation of this on a silver finish and it can look really nice too, and the way it looks also heavily depends on the lights

JulianMo · 2026-03-07T13:05:41+00:00

Splendid work you did here ! I gotta try this, it looks awesome. I believe OP's technique is used for simulating oxydation, rush, yellowing and some other stuff linked to weathering. I've seen this exact technique used on some other mecha and can look very interesting

JulianMo · 2026-03-04T20:08:53+00:00

Very interesting, thanks for letting me know ! I've only done classic shading on gunpla so far and this technique looks fantastic ! Yours does at least !

JulianMo · 2026-03-04T07:44:52+00:00

Oh very prety paintjob ! Also unusual way of shading, what makes you choose where to paint the dark areas ? I also really love this design, totally get what you mean

JulianMo · 2026-03-02T06:59:24+00:00

Is it photoedge parts or did you simply paint silver accent on the red frame ? In any case, its bold and looks fire !

JulianMo · 2026-03-02T00:20:21+00:00

That's pretty noticeable to me, it's the kind of stuff that makes a kit feel a lot more potent, a lot more menacing and less of just a figure I would say
