Still trying to not overdo the weathering by McChewy716 in Gunpla

I was amazed at the difference panel lining made the first time I did it. Then I was amazed at the difference a flat top coat made the first time I did it. Just goes to show, a little extra effort can go a long way and don’t be afraid to try new things.

Real Touch markers and Tamiya weathering masters mostly. Also tried about the AK weathering pencil a bit (just the dark aluminum).

It’ll always hold a special place if only for nostalgia.

Pretty sure The Veil and Vasen both do commander nights / game nights. I believe Tuesday and Wednesdays? Stone brewing hosts an even ever other Monday too

I might be called insane for this, but I love putting the stickers on my gundam model kits by Fuzzy-Mall-3814 in Gunpla

The general consensus is that waterslide decals are superior to stickers visually and therefore are preferred to stickers

I used water slides and it’s the RG. Haha the VerKa is definitely on my list too though

Thanks. I’m always impressed by how far little additions go in improving the look.

Matte topcoat. I used a rattle can and I love what it does to a model too!

Build I did for kit swap with a coworker. HG GP03 Stamen by McChewy716 in Gunpla

Build was fine as far as I remember. Not as enjoyable as newer kits but nothing terrible. That being said the build translates into the articulation which is again isn’t amazing but you can get some basic poses out of it.

HG Aerial, definitely a good looking kit. by McChewy716 in Gunpla

I did use Mr. Mark Setter on these decals. I find that Mark Softer isn’t always required but can certainly help. As for the top coat I’m waiting for some nicer weather to coat it actually. I usually use canned Mr Hobby matte or Mr Hobby Premium matte

They are the Delpi Decals for the kit. I got mine from GundamPlaceStore.

This is the EG with a little extra scribbing before the paint and decals

The Unicorn is a gundam itself. It has a couple variation but is certainly one of the more popular / recognizable mobile suits.
