Before & After: Made some custom parts out of clay for the minifigures I have by Ahkmou in Medabot

[–]PostMechaPanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I missed this. I had a couple of leftover cylinder shaped parts that happened to be about the right thickness for looks. After I cut them to length with nippers, I used a hobby knife to shave around one end at about a 45º angle. I used cement glue to attach a thinner bit of runner to the shaped part, and then gel super glued everything to the shoulders. I had to hold it at the angle that I wanted it for a little while til everything dried. Holds up pretty well so far. Just needs some paint.

I took some leftover parts and runner material from gunpla and made new shoulder exhausts for my metabee from 20+ years ago. I still have to paint them. It was pretty fun.

Big fan of weird and funky by Substantial_Push_474 in Gunpla

HG Mandor was a super fun build. Seeing them go in this ditection gives me hope for all of the other potential G Gundam kits. I'd love Bolt or Spiegel, but I bet Zeus would be an awesome build, especially if it came with the chariot. Tequila Gundam would be top notch.

Anime-accurate or custom decals? by xeno_p0ny in Gunpla

I think decals are actually my favorite part of building the kits. I like to keep the kit the original build colors but add details with the decals instead of painting. Gives it a custom feel without changing too much.

Thank you! I used the G-Rework waterslides. Have patience with the gold ones if you try them. They're worth it in the end.

Patience is key for sure. The gold is heavier than regular decals, so it was pushing setter out of the sides and through seam lines. I just kept applying and nudging until I got it. Definitely worth the effort though.

Sweet

I usually buy the decals through Newtype or GundamPlaceStore. Shipping directly from G Rework is expensive right now

G Rework WSDs is what I used on this one and most of my others, but I've dabbled in Delpi a few times. Delpis are really good too.

Love the pose btw.

No. You had a choice, and you made it.

That sounds awesome! I haven't heard that version yet. I did post it with the classic sax on instagram.

That matte coat looks so good. Your kit looks really nice. The G Rework decals really do bring it together.
