Banged up pt.2


Continuing on from the last post, I've mostly just kept going trough my backlog of built-but-not-weathered Gundam kits. I'm soon at the point where I have enough finished that I am starting to look at various options to have the Zeon and Federation fight it out!



First out is a Zeon MS-14F Gelgoog Marine:






A ESFS RGM-79SP GM Sniper II:






Back to Zeon again, a MS-06CK Zaku Half Cannon:





And the final mobile suit for the day, a ESFS RGM-79 GM Command:






Point blank showdown!



Thats all the finished Mobile Suits I had to share at the moment, but more are of course in the works!
Just a few days ago I received this:

So there are some more mecha coming, but first I need to finish up the ones I already built!


Til next time!

A bit banged up

During the course of the last few weeks I've been trying my hand at weathering some of the ever-increasing number of Mecha models I keep getting.

 Both kits I've managed to finish so far are Gundam Mobile Suits from the UC-timeline:

My first try was this Zaku II. Being an older kit, it didnt have as many panel lines and detailing as the later kits, but I tried my hand at scribing some new lines. I'm not sure about the result, but for a first attempt the weathering and new lines are acceptable I hope.




This next one is a GM type-C. With this one I actually managed to remember to photograph the kit before any weathering was attempted, so there is simething to compare with!


Before weathering.


And after.

Still not the greatest at this, but I hope to get the hang of it as I go along..



I also set up a small fight scene on the kitchen table so you can see both kits in the same shot:




That's all for today, I'm working on another kit at this time and will probably post it when I manage to finish.

Til next time!
