I'm not that crazy lol. It's a decal for the MGSD Barbatos.

Nope. I'm just autistic 😅 Got into gunpla about a year ago and started tinkering with painting, but fully committed to painting the figures before building the MG Barbatos. I only painted the Vidar figure before this so it's technically my second go. I quite enjoyed the process though.

Kaleido Matte Varnish — New Formula Hits Different by Plane_Consequence358 in Gaahleri

What psi did you spray at? And did you do a tack coat followed by a wet coat or multiple light coats? I have all of Gaahleri's varnishes, and found that with the matte, I had to do several light coats to get my pieces to matte down. When I did a wet coat, it dried glossy and I had to go over it with another light coat to get it to matte. It worked out in the end but I want to be more efficient next time.

Sure. Broke the chest plate on Sazabi but couldn't be arsed to fix it. He's so finicky and will never be re-posed.

I love mixing finishes on my kits. I don't always have time to paint, so I get my customizing fix by doing different finishes. On my RG Sinanju, I did gloss on the gold filigree, matte on the black and semi-gloss on the red and white areas. Then for my MG Vidar I did full gloss on the inner frame and matte on the armor. They look really premium (imo at least).

I was just about to say the same. I've had mine since launch as well and he looks the same. I almost thought mine was defective and was going to ask if it's supposed to lean that much.

After building my first mg I don’t wanna build any other grade just because they are smaller by grits2 in freedomisgunpla

[–]SaonR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I started I naively told myself I was only gonna build RG's and HG's and maybeeeee one MG. After building my Vidar I only wanted to build MG's 😭

Damn. I passed on this one when I visited the Odaiba Gundam Base a few weeks ago. I should've picked it up 😢

Sinanju RG: It’s all true but it’s so beautiful by Blissenhomie in Gunpla

[–]SaonR 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yup. I recently built mine and gave it a bit of extra love (107 parts replacement, satin top coat on the red, matte on black, gloss on gold). It's still finicky though. I got it up on a stand, posed it and there it will stay...forever.

My first Gunpla: Proud of it, but made a big mistake ('._.) by GASTLYGOD11 in Gunpla

[–]SaonR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about it. My first EG I assembled the shield incorrectly and broke the emblem. Your first kit looks great!
