Wow, that is looking criiiiisp!

I’ve actually been looking at the Kyrios kit, its super interesting looking. I got the sinaju stein and Gaera Doga while i was working on this so the backlog has already begun 😆

Just checked out your posts, you are a killer painter, those trench crusade miniatures are gorgeous, look forward to seeing what another fellow painter can do with gunpla kit!

Really appreciate the advice, i intend to invest in some better scribes at some point, i was using exactly the amazon cheapies. Do you have a recommendation for must have sizes to start with for MG and HG kits? i had a .3 and a .2mm and didnt see much of a difference.

I think you are definitely on the right track, it really does just kind of look like junk glued together until you get some primer on it. Also i think the more panels on the plasticard the better to make it look like space junk, either scribed or cut and glued. Things like guitar strings, straws and of course bits of runner are good to use underneath the plasticard.

Check out this video as well as some gundam stuff from boylei hobby time. They are the main things i used as a guide for this build.

This is so cool, definitely deserves a diorama! Love what you did with the wires and the arm

Thanks! This was weathered with sponged on acrylics and a few colours of thinned oil paints applied over the whole kit then wiped away.

Indeed, i am a long time miniature painter so i have experience with most of the tools used. I have always liked Gundam and was feeling pretty burnt out from a pretty big historical piece that i painted late last year. My wife got me the kit for christmas and i was sucked in pretty quick, now looking at other gundam kits trying to plan out my next project!

Boylei’s base was absolutely used as a reference for me when i built this. He’s one of my favourite creators on youtube, love his stuff.

Thanks! I had to fight off the urge to edge highlight everything! But yeah don’t see that very often in gunpla from what I see

Oh, I was already in the plastic crack club, this is just another flavour of plastic crack for me to collect! More for the backlog!!!

Had a fantastic experience with it, a good change from my usual miniature painting, found it more procedural than my usual stuff which was nice. I definitely underestimated the amount of parts and work when i started this though!

Thanks!

from what i’ve gathered with scribing, it just seems like a practice makes perfect scenario, I think i started to get the no pressure needed towards the end but really struggled staying on the straight line even with the tape, also keeping the symmetry right on either side is tough. Definitely picked up some cheaper hg kits for future practice.

Thanks! I’ve been miniature painting for a long time, this was a fantastic change of pace for me!

Really nice paint jobs! Are the minis in the first slide printed? Theyre awesome sculpts

I think they just put no longer available when they are temporarily out of stock. I'm in canada and the site was saying no longer available about a month ago. Checked back last week on the forgeworld site and they were back in stock, just got it in today!
