rockpopandchips Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Fitting some lights to an exceed RX-78 Gundam head, nothing complicated just to made it look better on my desk at work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Just the battery to fit to the RX-79 head, I don't Ave any battery holders left so it will be temp. And this will be my next build but it will have its own thread I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 My detail parts for the RG Nu Gundam have arrived from http://www.gundammodelcenter.com/ They should add some nice detail and interest to surface of this Nu. The kit is a mixed of metal thruster parts a few metal detailing parts for the weapons and a plastic sheet of surface detailing parts. The plastic part need to be cut away from the sheet and sand before glueing to the kit. I will to test the best glue to use. There are no real instructions just some pictures of the parts in place. A very nice and convenient package for the price I think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Reshaping one of my exceed gundam head, its a lot harder than I thought it would be to make this look different but reshaped the face plate, chin, chin guards and started on the forehead and visor. I also want to thin the profile of the head just a tad, Edited May 7, 2020 by rockpopandchips 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) My custom Gundam head is just about ready for a flat coat and maybe a bit more dirt. Used the stickers from the RG Sazabi as the decals and paint was done using grey and white spray cans, managed to get a bit of colour modulating effects as well. The rest was hand painted.

rockpopandchips Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 I don't think I like the long anti now, might have to cut them short again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Time to start a MG Sinanju and this one is getting a Motorking BFG and a full custom outer armour. I pick up this kit from ebay for a tenner as there are parts missing and no weapons. Its going to take a few months for the armour to get here from Hong Kong so it's going to be a long project. Starting of but cleaning up the Sinanju frame and building the BFG, the gun is so big and heavy I have had to make a few alterations to make it balance and look better. Origin gun layout a bit wobbly. 3/4 gun option and full gun looking better balanced. Edited May 13, 2020 by rockpopandchips 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 A gun and a half there! I like that modified head. The antennae, bit long. He looks like an old TV. Have you seen Appleseed? There are aerials? on that head that may suit your modified one. And, a belated happy birthday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Back to working on a Gundam for a bit and the RG Nu Gundam is starting to come together, added more details and some metal parts, going with an RX-78-2 colour scheme. Still lots more to build and paint. Liking my new phone app for displaying pictures. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpopandchips Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 So another Gundam this one is from Daban so technically a 3rd party kit. This is the Gundam Astray blue from with full weapons set. There is a lot to this kit and I have arranged all the runners up in my spray booth. This kit has gone together OK for the most part. The body and head didn't have any issues but the two back pack both now have broken parts that I have drilled, pined and glued. Not going to paint this kit, just paint in a few of the details pannel line it all add a chrome decal set. The effects parts do come with the kit and really like them 48 parts just to make up each bazooka. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Built the legs for this guy yesterday, still lots to do on him but he is looking so good, even if it a nightmare to build. One of the worst 3rd parts kits I have built for broken parts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 All the weapons are not going to fit onto the MS so going to have a go at building a weapons rack from the spurs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Looking good Brian, love the sound of a sprue weapons rack! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
