Geara Doga 2

Gallery August 19, 2013 GN 4 Comments

Geara Doga is perhaps the Gundam kit I've had the most fun with so far! Why? Because it's well engineered and goes together really seamlessly, it's a large kit, and, well..... it just looks great.

Here's the shield, and I've done the Tamiya Weathering Master kits around … Continue Reading ››

Geara Doga 1

Gallery August 17, 2013 GN Leave a comment

Geara Doga arrived in the post from HLJ along with RX-78-2 V3.0 and the two new Real Grades. I thought it was going to be a tough decision on what to build, but it was easy! After reading Syd's review at Gaijin Gunpla and reading that this was a large kit, and opening the … Continue Reading ››

Unicorn Full Armor part 3

Gallery July 27, 2013 GN Leave a comment

Unicorn has been a tricky build so far, not least because I'm masking and painting practically every white armour piece. I really like how the grey sections break up the armor without being too stand-out, and the Tamiya Weathering Master light gunmetal is working superbly on the edges to help bring out the detail.Continue Reading ››

Unicorn Full Armor part 2

Decided to begin work on the boosters as this would allow me to test some of the paint ideas I was going to use for the main model.

Here you can see me gluing and sanding the boosters to remove their seam lines. It's such a shame … Continue Reading ››

Unicorn Full Armor part 1

Gallery July 14, 2013 GN 2 Comments

After completing Valvrave I, I needed a complete change, and it was time to put off the 1/100 MG Unicorn Full Armor no longer!

For a 1/100 this is a big kit, with a box packed chock-full of runners and thicker-than-usual manual. Continue Reading ››

Valvrave I – part 2

Gallery July 1, 2013 GN Leave a comment

Valvrave I continues to slowly progress as I carefully mask and airbrush the pieces. Of course, as I go along I miss pieces that should have been masked and painted so I take them off again, apply the masking and paint. I've been using the Createx white for this kit and it's working well. It's cheap … Continue Reading ››

Valvrave I – part 1

Gallery June 29, 2013 GN Leave a comment

I began with Valvrave I, but after looking carefully at the kit and stickers I decided to go with a full paint job. I know this will mean that I can't really use the logo stickers, but I reckon the end result will still look great.

And … Continue Reading ››

PG Char’s Zaku II part 10 – Frame

Gallery June 17, 2013 GN 2 Comments

I completed the frame and did an assembly. This kit has perhaps the most impressive inner frame of PG Gundams that I've built so far. There's an immense amount of detail and good articulation. The only negative aspect are the feet which are lightweight and don't have the strength or detail of the rest of … Continue Reading ››

LBX Lucifer Build

Gallery June 15, 2013 GN Leave a comment

Eldest daughter (she's 8) decided to build the LBX Lucifer on her own.

Great artwork on the box, and we have no idea what to expect on the inside.

But she dives straight in, first separating out the runners … Continue Reading ››

PG Char’s Zaku II part 9

Gallery June 15, 2013 GN 3 Comments

With the major painting complete (just really doing touch-ups, or adding detail as I see where the pieces go when assembled), progress is good, although slower than with other kits due to the complexity, the screws and the sheer number of parts on the internal skeleton.

These … Continue Reading ››
