Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[Cleaver]

can I be silver's biggest fan?

we are already his biggest fan, welcome to join us

 

[Cleaver]

hmm...some parts frosted due to spraycan topcoat
some parts the paint got scratched/chipped when assembling
managed to minimize the damage

overall a good experience, hopefully the next kit will be better
intend to test out panel scribing and adding rivets in the future

i did see you do some weathering for the shoulder armor if im not wrong, nice effect!

updated my original post*
unlike the previous photos(phone-cam), this was taken with a compact cam

pardon the bad quality, had to use a tripod and toggle the shutter speed to make the glow visible to the camera sensors
realized u can't simply take a photo of glow-in-the-dark paints..its tedious, but I picked up something new today

the powder(With clear green) was handbrushed(didn't have my airbrush at the point of time)

 

[xfiles_wolvie]

did u encounter the ink from the marker flow excessively?

u mean when i squeeze out on to a paint palette and use my brush to paint? yes and no. some will and some will not.

how do you apply?

luckily u nv use ur ab with it.
it choke ur ab easily with the powder.
not say surely damage ur ab, but chance is there.
one brother here tried before and he said the same thing.

want glow? this can be done without the glow in the dark powder. and, its not LED.

the shop recommend airbrush....but what you see there is all handpainted

just testing out here and there nia, so many hidden dragons here.....like your sinanju for example

kinda interested in diorama, but not sure what materials to get....Styrofoam maybe?

it recommended to use ab though, thinking of trying it out next time

hmm....yea it's possible it might choke, although the powder seems to be the really fine type(think of talcum powder)... will try to thin it out so it does not choke

yea...all unicorns(normal,fa) will glow under uv, (even the green effect parts from 00 kits does under uv)
I ever saw a unicorn with running patterns under a "running uv led"

but those with fa unicorn could probably try out the glowing powder

anyone gt see this base before? http://dalong.net/review/kotobukiya/mcb/mcb.htm

everything can glow under uv when u spray fluorescent colors or fluorescent clear over

Yea I have one, can get the knockoff if u know where to look

U can also join multiple pieces to form a huge hangar, there's online reviews on that

Hmm yea ...can just get ex06 clear instead of getting individual colors, for those on a budget

For dio.. Anything can be used.. If u are talking bout using styrofoam as a base.. Be prepared that ur base will break into half.. Pardon my lousy diorama..

Most materials I got from Daiso..

I've seen the original Kotobukiya being sold at M Workshop (around 22?) and the knockoff from Hobby Kulture at 9 bucks ea.

The series have a number system denoting which other bases they're compatible to floor-wise and which one works as the walls.

Here's another sdimilar base type but diorama style:

one thing to note is that uv led has the purple hue, heard some ppl uses the visible filter to remove that(but its costly and it can wear out)

where got lousy...looks nice even though I've no idea what ms are those, think I saw your wip before...that parrot is modded from a mini mobile suit iirc

did u do planning and sketches of the diorama?

what did u buy from daiso for that? thinking of making a lunar diorama
also what do u use to make the base less fragile...have a sturdier material below the Styrofoam?
