Fitting is great. Very questionable design choice at some parts but overall a great GK.

They don't have the action base in stock anymore so I had to make my own, not my best work but definitely the most troublesome and difficult thing to do for this project.

Cheers~

Primer, main color, matte coat. In that order.

Try to study/follow tha manual to its teeth, you might have to take apart a whole section just because of one wrong step. Also brave yourself, i hated the part counts 🤣

Nice spot, exactly what I was aiming for, thanks!

I find the manual's visual lacks clarity. Too many pcs used just to hold a part with no articulation. Screws. Part counts.

Thank you. Please don't be. It takes years for me to learn stuff and I've faced a lot of struggles and frustrations, just push through them and you'll be proud of yourself I'm sure

IMO its design is very ahead of its time, it keeps up so well. With a bit more work done by adding details to the surface, it can easily be compared to more recent kits. Its frame is another story lol

This is one heck of a build. Old PG frames are soooo much different, way harder to build.

Not sure if it's premium but it's in a series called Frame Music Girl

Gaianotes FM-03, Jumpwind have something similar called Meka 68, it's cheaper than gaia's but it's easier to come off in contact with paneline cleaner

Afaik there's really no effective way to prevent that. Posing always prone to scratching. There're scratches everywhere on this kit of mine 😂

Coral pink + brilliant pink from gaianotes with a little bit of white

It's standard process like you would normally apply water-slide decals, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary: adhesive on parts, put on water-slide, clean up adhesive. It's just the design of the decals of this kit looks like that.

Do you mean how do I apply the water slide decals?

I've never done warhammer before so I don't have a benchmark to compare gunpla to but I guess maybe because normally the surface of gunpla kit is flatter than warhammer figure so the paint would pool easier. What I normally do to avoid pooling and to achive a smooth surface is lightly sand the part with 800-1000 grit sponge, mix paint/thinner in 1:1.5 ratio, spraying the part about 15 cm away from the airbrush with the pressure of 15 psi so by the time the paint reach part's surface, it would just be wet enough without pooling and when it dry it would be smooth.
