discussion Bandai 1/144 gundam

[Guest]

Hi all well it was supposed to arrive on the 30th, lucky me it arrived early.

What a great kit I've not used one drop of glue the fit it purfect (only downside is the kit has stickers instead of decals). I'm going to depict it rotting in a field I've read these tend not to rust much but I will be adding some.

This will really stretch my skills as my normal rusting techniques are done exclusively with enamels and pastels, obviously I cant use enamels on this plastic so will have to adapt and invent.

I've made a start on the weathering, I really think I will enjoy this first forage into gundam.

nice build 'nuts', you gotta love Gundam's for their ease of build and yet so many ways to finish them...
i tend to go away from the 'factory' colours and paint them up in various camo versions..

Great work and a great base Ken
