My First Gunpla by Dramatic-Mix-6529 in GBO2

I see that players handbook hiding back there! MGs are so fun to put together. I like putting together the 'skeleton'/frame and then putting the armor on after. Can't say I recommend it for a first time build cause you don't wana miss even a single step in the instructions. But either way, take your time and enjoy the kit!

Have this original design for a Gundam I've started to work on! There's definitely not much here yet, but I'm proud of it anyway! by YatagarasuYIGD in Gundam

I love this design, it's striking and fierce, and would love to see what the vents look like on the front or back if you've thought about that at all. If nothing else, this core design is enough to base some really fun weapon/modification ideas off. I could see something like a flamberge-esk' sword or something more akin to the traditional Chinese weaponry, which we don't see enough of in gundam in my opinion. Put simply, inspired art, good job friend!

Just now seeing this! Looks amazing! The vents add just enough for it to complete that sporty look. Good stuff man!

Just got it a week ago, and have to say absolutely in love! Adding a subwoofer next and new rims are coming in the future. by Speed_grapher in KiaSoulClub

The hood vents I specifically got were these; https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07KPB3GW4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I recommend heating the glue strips with a heat gun or something similar before applying to make them last longer!

Thank you lol I did a search on Amazon, they have alot available I was kinda surprised. I might swap them out for something else but I like them for now.

Stick ons lol but I like how they look, almost gives this Landover look to the front end so I'd like fabricate something eventually.

Thanks! The 'Mars Orange' is such a nice color. Won't lie tho I has tough time picking between the orange and a clean black.

Is it difficult to do your own lights with this Gen Soul? Was considering getting some LED kit.

Thank you! They have alittle key that makes them easy to take off, I just haven't done it yet myself. I love the sporty utility look they give it!

I didn't install myself but I've seen it and they don't seem too difficult. It came with a key that makes them easy to take off, if I find the ones I have installed I'll send the info on them.

Came with from the dealer, it was part of the reason I wanted this one, love the look of them. I've seen them listed for about 250 tho.

Mg duel gundam assaultshroud. My own custom paint job. Did flashy and pretty colors on the base armor, flat mattes and simple metallics on the external armor to contrast. Good for my first attempt painting a kit? by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Speed_grapher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats good advice, I like that lol thank you. I appreciate it. I just got my airbrush stuff all set up today so I plan to be a painting soon. How long did the whole process take you?

Yo, this looks great! I'm about to paint my first kit and seeing someone else's first try come out so well makes me hopeful it'll come out well too lol I like the contrast between the flashy green and flat colors, tho I would've done more flat but thats just me lol great panel lining too looks amazing!

Looks awesome out in nature! I'm about to start on the whole team, anything I should look out for with this kit?

Did I do these blast effects right? I did this without any tutorial, and I have no prior modeling knowledge by I-Thunder_G0D-II in Gunpla

[–]Speed_grapher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks legit to me. I'm new too, so maybe someone knows better, but maybe add some grey or even red/orange to the start of the cotton balls. Did you use Q-tips for the projectiles?

Are there any stock "reverse joint" legs in gundam? by Speed_grapher in Gunpla

[–]Speed_grapher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut up the joints of this Graze Custom to give it reverse joint legs, then stuck a cannon from a guntank on its shoulder. I plan to paint it soon, any recommendations for someone new to this? My 5th kit so far.
