WIP

spray the white armor with tamiya light gun metal color.
being my first "painted" kit, the paint was a little uneven while missing paint in some area like the shoulder. some parts i spray a second layer.
didnt really invest in alligator clips for painting. perhaps should really consider investing in those, but then i'm not sure if i would be painting kits as often.

P/S: pardon some of quite obvious nubs and i did mess up a little red on the waist area


Attached thumbnail(s)

good idea, i got some blutac lying around and recycle some sticks for painting


yeah, i saw some online videos on painting, but then i dont want to get something that i may or may not use in the future thought it may not be expensive
noted, didnt check thoroughly enough which part that will be exposed, and a bit worried that i might paint some area too thick, and cant assemble properly
most probably will remove some of the part with not-so-satisfactory paint this weekend, and repaint them

maybe next month will experiment on pre-assembled kits that i have, space running low, so might experiment on some kits that i consider keeping in storage
and not to mention, gunpla kits pricing is really getting pricey

went to the expo in the morning

the hi-nu HWS is selling around 500, while some other kits like the HG Char's Zaku (metallic ver) is around 200++, cant really remember is 208 or 238, almost wanted to get it as i liked the metallic red, but the price put me off

HGBF gundam amazing red (in shiny red) also selling around that price, but the nub marks are really a turn off, more obvious than Char's zaku

also got RG exia expo ver, seems like the same one as last year, but this time selling at a more "reasonable" RM180 rather than RM250++

i bought RG trans-am transparent 00-raiser, also at RM180, cant help it, 00-raiser is still one of the more solid and fun-to-build RG

other normal HG, MG and RG, some are cheaper while some are more expensive
like MG exia black matter, is selling around RM150, and RG wing gundam EW is selling around RM80

go see go see, most likely you will get "poisoned"
that thing is huge, and honestly, it is the more attractive kit when put next to the MG gundam thunderbolt (at least that what i feel when i saw both of them in display)

confirm you wont regret it

unfortunately i'm not really into clear parts, the RG 00-raiser i also took a very long time before deciding to get it
need to paint the inner frame to make it really standout

i might even get some spray can and paint the RG 00-raiser frame

maybe can skip the head vent, but yeah those "rubber flim" are the thunderbolt signature


do share some of the kits you grab
