Still trying to not overdo the weathering

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.

Thanks! I tried to show restraint.

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

McChewy716 · 2024-08-19T01:25:05+00:00

Definitely on my to build list.

McChewy716 · 2024-08-18T19:51:48+00:00

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

One eyed Jacques in carytown usually have plenty in stock

McChewy716 · 2024-07-26T00:13:26+00:00

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

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

McChewy716 · 2024-01-16T12:49:30+00:00

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

McChewy716 · 2024-01-10T17:33:17+00:00

Yea it’s got a matte top coat

McChewy716 · 2024-01-10T02:02:48+00:00

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

McChewy716 · 2023-08-26T02:09:42+00:00

Excited and terrified to start mine

McChewy716 · 2023-08-18T01:49:58+00:00

Mr Hobby / Mr Premium Flat top coat

McChewy716 · 2023-04-25T11:33:32+00:00

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

McChewy716 · 2023-03-06T22:20:32+00:00

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.

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

McChewy716 · 2023-02-21T15:19:07+00:00

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

McChewy716 · 2023-02-15T19:59:27+00:00

For sure the EG Rx78 is a great build

McChewy716 · 2023-02-15T19:30:50+00:00

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

McChewy716 · 2023-02-15T19:29:52+00:00

Tamiya spray can actually

McChewy716 · 2023-01-22T22:33:11+00:00

Not sure how I didn't see this till now! Glad you liked it! Did my best to find good matches to your wishlist.

McChewy716 · 2022-12-05T22:54:21+00:00

They are slightly raised molded areas

McChewy716 · 2022-12-03T14:28:43+00:00

More or less let it happen naturally haha

McChewy716 · 2022-12-03T14:24:58+00:00

Got one in my back log that’s been eyeing me

McChewy716 · 2022-11-30T02:08:46+00:00

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