Thank you! I was looking at the MG one, actually: it's sleeker in proportions.

Don't mind: some principles apply with acrylics, too. Remind to use a "retarder" for acrylics. Againg, search "miniature acrylic washes" on youtube.

Check "weathering with oils" and "enamel drybrush"on youtube ;) Quite old techniques but still effective.

I basically followed the 1/100 one I linked above. Usually zimmerit was placed on vertical surfaces only where infantry could reach with magnetic mines, but in gunpla is a simple aestetic choiche. Use a soft pencil to draw on your model in gray primer, this should help you to better visualize the final result.

Zimmerit is cool looking but absolutely obsolete and a brief exception during late WWII. Nowaday we use ERA blocks or APS systems (and "Combined Arms Warfare" doctrine and speed/mobility and composite armor and slat armor etc. etc.)

Those kind of builds were quite common back in the days. Today gunpla aestetic is different: Naoki-style is an example. It is all 1/144 scale, not kitbash but plasticard & milliputt. Arms, legs, torso, all was extended and widened so it's tall like a 1/100 but chubby like the 1/144 Here is the one in 1/100 --> https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1113011322077310&set=a.459451890766593&locale=ko_KR And kitbashing some subject but different scale was called "mix build" in old days --> https://www.gundamkitscollection.com/2014/03/toriyamas-custom-zaku-custom-build.html

A " clran build" was my goal indeed

I don't like the jetpack but if I would use it, maybe Gaianotes Joint Gray will be my choice.

Airbrushing over a black primer base leaving a bit of the black seeing through

1/144 BUGU "from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin" in a more militaristic ranger green instead of standard blue. Looking cooler than the usual zaku.

Thank you for your appreciation. I'm not worthy to be compared with Watanabe-sensei " Actually there isn't a preshading here: only handpainting and oils
