WIP: OZ-00MS

Started working on my first Master Grade kit, the OZ-00MS "Tallgeese". The plan is to do a TV-esque paint scheme with black in place of the light gray and dark blue pieces. And because I want the Tallgeese to look a bit more regal, I'm going to be painting the yellow parts gold.

ZGMF-X10A

RG ZGM-X10A Freedom Gundam. A pretty straight build, my first experiment with using thinned enamels for panel lining. Light grey for white parts, and black for everything else. Stickers took forever to apply because of how tiny they are and the sheer number that a RG includes. Freedom definitely needs a stand because those wings are extremely heavy.

GN-0000 + GN-010

Finally finished my HG 00+Raiser in a midnight color scheme after three weeks of painting. For future reference, Vallejo acrylic paints are excellent for hand painting and Krylon matte makes an economical top coat. Also picked up an action base to make it easier to display.

Adventures in Gunpla! Launching!


Lets kick this off right with a picture of where it all began: The RX-78-2. First Real Grade kit I've built. Straight build, just panel lining and most of the stickers. I'll probably top-coat it eventually.

As far as the picture setup, its a piece of posterboard, and a cheap desk lamp.
