Cheers, If I was going to weather the kit I probably would have, but I have stripped it fixed and added new "custom" decals... Got to leave overnight night before I flat coat it.

The Spadgent Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Lovely work. I have never tried a Gundam kit. A friend gave me a “freedom” one for a birthday gift. It’s interesting to see how different these kits go together compared to my usual Aeroplanes, cars, tanks etc. I will follow this thread for ideas on how to paint and construct. Thanks and keep up the good work, 🙌 John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have recently been making a 72 scale biplanes and finding out that that are very different plastic kits to build. You will find the Bandai kits are far superior in fit than anything else. I went with the Edwards plane kit as recommended by some club members but still found some major fit problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hya. it’s a 1/100 MG I’m used to old gnarled kits like 70s Airfix so this one will be like nothing else I’ve ever done. 🙌 hope you’re winning with the aeroplane. 😇 Johnny.

The MG are very nice kits, lots of parts and lots to paint if you want too. There are 2 versions of the freedom the original MG and what they call the 2.0. They are both great kits but the 2.0 is amazing in it build and detail. 2.0 freedom The plane is almost finished, I have had a few problems with it mostly from have no idea what to expect and snapping wing struts... Build for it is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) OK so my next Gundam build has arrived, the 1/144 Sinanju Stein ( Narrative Ver.) and a load of PE for it. I will have to finish the Nu before starting this but an example of what it should look like but I will be painting the PE.

DalekCheese Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) I don’t know about the mechs, but they’re beautifully painted (as are, from zooming in, your 40k models). Well done Edited October 22, 2019 by DalekCheese 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 After my cockup with a flying car I'm building up the outer on the RG Nu Gundam and cutting some of the outer parts to expose a bit more of the frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 RG Nu Gundam: Fully painted inner frame but only a quick bit of pannel lining on the armour so you can see the details of the kit. A worthy oponent to the RG Sazabi. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Nice! That’s a lot more detail than under the armour of my freedom. 🤩 Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a lot more detail than under the armour of my freedom. 🤩 Johnny And about 1/2 the size of the one your building. So I have some new tools for scribing pannel lines, so getting used to them on this little fella. Very steep learning curve with plenty of ruff spots but better on this tham my stein that will be getting lots of custom alterations using these things. He is the same hight as a GW space marine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
