Brief addition to the 2011 FAQ with pictures showing exactly why it is important to prime and closely inspect your own work.
More exciting pictures of this guy coming down the pipe too once I find time to fix his beam sabers and give it a proper flat coat.
Now go check out his page! As usual, comments and the like are appreciated!
File this under AWESOME. I love grunt units.
Gonna get this bad boy for sure. Finishing Crossbone tomorrow too! It’s taken me entirely too long to get around to this, sorry guys!
News care of Ngee Khiong.
These are so CLOSE to being done, and I’m stuck waiting on my tamiya web order to come in to finish all three of my projects.
Whining aside, I’m pretty happy with how they’re turning out so far. I think I need to work on Crossbone’s cloak some more, but otherwise it’s dandy. In other news, I’ve been playing with different lighting setups and I think I’ve found something that works pretty well!
Maybe I’ll take another picture sometime to show everyone how ghetto it is..
That is all.
The best part? There are still 4-5 decals that still need to go on the thrusters. Ka, you’re lucky all your mobile suits look so damn fine. My option color might be obvious by now?
I find that the cape that comes with the X-1 to…well…suck. It’s made of a silky thin lego-cape-like fabric and I don’t think it behaves very ‘cloth’ like, so I’m making my own and weathering it. This is just the basic cut, by the time I’m done you won’t see any of those red guidelines and it will look much dirtier and beat up, like a proper battle-worn cloak should!
I cannot resist pirate gundams. While Gundam Store and More did not have the X-1 Full cloth, they did have plenty of the X-1 and I looove me some cloaks, but the one included with the X-1 reminds of those super crappy lego capes, so I’ll be fixing that via an old shirt or something! I have the paintjob all planned out as well, nothing outlandish but it’ll be nice and different.
The shoulder deals looks much better in real life, leave it to close up pictures to make everything look bad.
