PG Char’s Zaku II part 1

Gallery May 30, 2013 GN Leave a comment
The 1/60 Perfect Grade Char's Zaku II is a kit I've had my eye on for quite a while. I'm not sure why I picked the Char's colour scheme over the stock green of the grunt suit, perhaps because I have a green Zaku II already and I've also really enjoyed painting with the bolder … Continue Reading ››

Paints and Postage

May 27, 2013 GN Leave a comment
I'm going to do a little more work on Akatsuki before I declare the model complete, but as there was little painting to do on the kit, it got me thinking that if I just did plain out-of-the-box builds, I'd go through kits so quickly that Gunpla would become a hideously expensive … Continue Reading ››

1/100 Akatsuki

Gallery May 26, 2013 GN 1 Comment
The completed Akatsuki is rather stunning, if also rather hard to photograph well, not least that I need to get some cotton gloves to wear while posing it. The reflective gold armour looks great, but instantly picks up any oil from your hands and shows up fingerprints from the slightest touch.Continue Reading ››

1/100 Akatsuki part 7

Gallery May 26, 2013 GN Leave a comment
Akatsuki is going together very smoothly. One thing though: don't attempt to assemble it in bright sunlight of you'll find it hard to see what you're doing!TGN_0250Still with the backpacks to complete, I've taken some intermediate photos showing the mech, and when it comes to finished … Continue Reading ››

1/100 Akatsuki part 6

Gallery May 25, 2013 GN Leave a comment
So as my initial experiment with adding the thinned Tamiya clear red to indented details on the gold armour pieces worked, I continued to select pieces on all the runners for similar treatment.SAM_9925And with the clear red dry, assembly is reasonably quick, but it does take … Continue Reading ››

Gallery May 24, 2013 GN Leave a comment
Now we can start on assembly, and begin to work with the chromed gold pieces.SAM_9915Where nub marks will not be seen on the final model, nubs are as normal, and all I can really do is trim them carefully. But where they'd be seen Bandai have … Continue Reading ››

1/100 MG RX78-2 V1.5 and Zaku II

Gallery May 23, 2013 GN Leave a comment
About 10 years ago I bought the RX78-2 V1.15 MG, and shortly after received the Zaku II for my birthday. They are both hand painted, some acrylics for weathering and some of the small details on the RX78-2, and oil paints for the shading on the Zaku II. I'm eagerly awaiting the new RX-78-2 V3.0, which … Continue Reading ››

1/100 Akatsuki part 4

Gallery May 23, 2013 GN Leave a comment
I quickly repaired Pikachu, and then sprayed all the Akatsuki parts with Finish Floor polish.I just left all the parts in the paint booth to dry.SAM_9912 I didn't do a heavy coat, so the end result will not be super-glossy, but that's just fine for the grey … Continue Reading ››

1/60 Freedom

Gallery May 23, 2013 GN Leave a comment
Freedom is another 1/60 "no grade" kit. It's reasonably quick and simple to build, although I did spend a fair bit of time with the shading on the armour and wings. Like all these large no grade kits, it lacks a lot of details and articulation compared to the RG for instance.Continue Reading ››

1/100 Akatsuki part 3

Gallery May 20, 2013 GN Leave a comment
Next stage of the Akatsuki painting was to lay down some grey on the pieces on the grey runners. I used the FW Acrylics pale grey as as starting point.SAM_9895 The FW Acrylics are already thinned and ready to use, and quick too because of their built … Continue Reading ››
