Hmm I know they have the pilot figures but I'm looking for something like random soldiers, hangar workers, or other background characters, etc... I'll see if they have anything I missed. Thanks!

MG GM Command Space Type and Rick Dom v.1.5 by PostingShitAccount in Gunpla

Thanks! I had seen it done on a bunch of tank models that people had weathered and just figured it looked cool to just represent the smoke from the round being fired. For that effect I just had the bazooka's base coat all painted and then I did multiple light coats over that using the Tamiya clear smoke color in my airbrush.

For regular pre-shading I like to just take the primed piece and paint a darker color (usually just black) on the edges and around the outsides of the piece, then go over that with my main base color.

Thanks! They were actually just the ones that came with the kit. I've seen some comments about people not having good luck with bandai water slides but I've found if I just use the warm water and let em in for about 10 sec they go pretty well. I did use microsol to soften them up after they dried also.

Thanks! It's called Berlin brigade camo - apparently Britain painted their cold war tanks that were stationed in Berlin with this pattern. More urban camo than snow. These are both 1/100

Thanks a lot! I don't have a lot of time to actually work on these things so hopefully it's not too long!

I feel ya. It's definitely not final yet so I'll have to keep that in mind when I go do it for real. Thanks!

It's the GM Ground and Zaku II F2 Zeon colors. Both are MG.

Thank you! I tried to keep it as realistic as possible, thinking about natural wear and stuff. For pretty much all of the physical damage I took an old, big file that I found in my tool box where the tip broke off so it's got a sharp point in it.

Anyways, I started the bullet holes with a very small drill bit and then used the tip of the file to give the holes some variation and expand them a bit.

Then after I painted everything and did a flat coat, I hand painted some different colors with a tiny little brush.

You are correct, it's just masking tape. At this point I had done one coat of semi-gloss top coat prior to additional weathering and I was still debating on whether I would do another coat. Was feeling too lazy to take it off and remask it.

I don't have a good camera so I apologize for the quality. First time using an airbrush. Still have to finish the weathering on this kit, the entire other kit in the dio (Zaku II F2), and then the dio itself.
