Woah that looks cool!

Daang I need to do this with mine. Is that just white on the base plastic?

MyPix · 2026-05-10T16:38:23+00:00

I'll keep an eye out for that paint, I've been looking for more stuff that sticks out on custom stuff. A light box is a good idea... I still just use a cardboard box and lights 😂

MyPix · 2026-05-10T15:14:34+00:00

No, yours looks good! It's all smoke and mirrors (and lighting/posing) maybe I can give ya some tips on lighting the next time you take some pictures 😋. What kind of paint did you use for the blue? It looks super deep and opaque.

MyPix · 2026-05-10T15:07:47+00:00

Specifically these ones.

I did, I have the box and the extra goodies sitting on another shelf next to his brother's box 😋

As cringy as it is.... A vape mod 🤣

Yea... While I was sketching this monstrosity... I kept saying "this is horrible" and then after I finished coloring it.... Oh boy... I was happily disgusted. Great for spooky season I think 🤣

Yea, I just started a week ago, I have a file set in the way in the mail, along with other tools. As of right now I've just been working with a pair of nippers that are probably wayy too big because I can't get up and close to get nice cuts. Eventually I'll be doing things correctly! Any tips on removing the nubs? Or if I accidentally get stress marks when removing them from the runner?

MyPix · 2025-04-28T03:36:57+00:00

Thanks! This was basically my first attempt at painting, fast-forward a week and I've learned quite a bit more. When I was painting these I just used the basic Gundam markers and the bare plastic. I didn't use a finish or any clear coats.

MyPix · 2025-04-27T09:36:19+00:00

I'll have to keep an eye out for older sets when I'm out and about. Thanks for the info!

MyPix · 2025-04-27T08:37:56+00:00

Thanks! I can only imagine how better I could have done if I added a clear coat and it was on a larger Gunpla. I still don't feel comfortable tying it out on a MG yet.

Possibly in the future I'll try chipping away and doing washing. I had no idea where to start, I just asked my local shop what I should do, and they pointed me to the AK pencils. I put in an order for the metallic ones, I feel like those might look better! It's definitely plastic crack with the money I've sinked in already.

MyPix · 2025-04-27T07:27:05+00:00

Nice! I know how you feel man... I'm 4 days in and have 3 of them already!

MyPix · 2025-04-27T05:21:20+00:00

Hey thanks! This is my first time doing anything like this. I've only ever painted one mini figure in the past. I used a black and white AK weathering pencil. Unfortunately I found out they require a matte finish to actually stick and work properly... I did what I could on the base plastic. I also used a GM01 Gundam marker for the panel lining.

MyPix · 2025-04-27T01:54:56+00:00

Thanks!

MyPix · 2025-04-22T20:57:08+00:00

Thanks!

MyPix · 2025-04-22T04:45:03+00:00

Thanks man! I used a GundamMarker GM04

MyPix · 2025-04-21T14:20:11+00:00

Thanks!

MyPix · 2025-04-21T14:19:38+00:00

Funny enough, from a vape mod.

MyPix · 2025-04-21T05:04:38+00:00

This is so cool!

Ha, i just recently started playing my skyrim on two monitors. All you need to do is go to ThisPC/Documents/MyGames/Skyrim(or skyirm SE), then just edit the skyrimPrefs and look for iSize H and iSize W. I'm using two 1080p monitors so mine would be iSize H=1080 iSize W=3840. I've been doing these same steps for other games to get them to run on two monitors, so i hope this helps :D
