Moving out is a good time to get a group shot of the few "success" #gunpla pieces I've painted up in the last couple summers. It's been a fun/nostalgic hobby to work on. #Gundam #Shiny #Airbrushing #ガンプラ #ガンダム
Various painted gunpla on a shelf:
- 3x LM Leo
- BB Senshi Zaku II High Mobility
- 1/550 Elmeth
- HG UC Qubeley
- BB Senshi Jegan
- HGFC Nobel Gundam
- HGFC Dragon Gundam
- 2x HGUC Jagd Doga

#Gundam 1/550 Elmeth landing gear and bits now finished. I'll try painting one of my ¥200 Gelgoog practice minis as a companion. I lost the tiny commander horn of the 1/550 one, but I was kind of iffy on the mold in the first place #ガンプラ #Gunpla

BB Senshi SD #Gundam Jegan wrapped up. Had some bleed with the liner while spraying the clear, not sure what that was about. Maybe the angle of spray, or where the marker was on top of enamel liner in a certain way. I'm not sure Anyway, fits my "3$ toy" aesthetic goal #ガンプラ #Gunpla

Relief the Elmeth is all glued together without a break/smudge. Added a generously sized hole so I can put it on a stand. I'll have to modify the rear landing struts since the openings had to either be glued open or shut

Chromed-up Elmeth body pieces complete, but I need to get some actual glue to put it together due to very wide peg holes. Don't want to rush and try to force liquid cement to work, would be a shame to ruin the finish now. Arrayed pieces sort of show how the Peacock Green color changes at angles

Little rough in the middle on the main Elmeth piece, but my theory is I can use flat white enamel for the crest/top and use thinner to tailor cleaner lines, since this is lacquer paint base.

Initially got a sheet of circle cut out masking tape for mono-eyes and such, but adding red circle caps to Elmeth bits has been the third other thing I've used it for. Really handy tool, worth the money

Wanted to capture the chrome stage of an Elmeth #gunpla I'm trying to finish before I move. Bought this in '24 as a step up from painting a spoon, turned out it needed actual model-making work so it got put off until I could do that. Leaning toward the GX clear peacock green over the standard green

Working on a SD Jegan #gunpla. Good masking practice reps, still far from getting clean lines but no peeling anywhere after is a win. (Kaize lacquers pure blue 04, green 01)

Initial finish of Quess's Jagd Doga. Stayed mostly true to the original colors, just made them different metallics. I do like the off-white/red pairing. Not much to dynamically do with the big machine gun in the posing department. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

My personal favorite part of these, the knees. Satisfied with how the seams are gone, especially on the candy chrome red finish. I look forward to doing this more. The chrome is still a bit blurry due to the wavy gloss black base, but I think was successful enough. #Gunpla #ガンプラ

I'm not sure how to properly set up the funnels, but starting to figure out how to pose/balance the Jagd Dogas. Big cuffs at the wrist don't play nice with the rifles. #gunpla #ガンプラ Probably delay the last bookend pics until my work area has better light in the fall

Lesson learned: I should have cut off the funnel tabs and glued bits of the clear rods as new tabs that plug into the binders without contacting the surface As is the tabs immediately damaged the finish on the red and are too loose on the blue, so I just glued them. I'll have just get over it.

Took forever to get all masked off for each nozzle, but finally done. Went with Mr Color GX Metallic Red Gold (Tamiya Gloss Aluminum barrels) for the bits and glad I did, GX series paints probably pound for pound my favorite so far.

On the one hand, the Jagd Doga knife-saber seems redundant. On the other hand, it kind of looks cool, so I'll come up with reasoning in my mind like the knife is for wire cutting or disabling without causing damage. Do think the chrome also helps

Decided no more masking after getting paint peel, but I think it worked out with just an enamel fill of the shield logo. Etched lines look better than the raised shape imo.

One last case of significant peeling after using my Alclad gray microfiller primer. I don't know why but I've always had this issue, probably 15% of the time with their primer. Probably my last bottle, shame cause it otherwise works. Also should have just done the barrels first anyway...

Managed to get the binders finished to wrap up the Jagd Doga bodies. Using enamels on the binder thrusters such that I could clean up with thinner made that a lot easier. Still haven't decided if I'll use a mr color GX gold paint for the funnels, or just make them gray like the other accessories

Finally getting to an actual application of a Mr Clear Color GX series clear over chrome. Find I need to still do a rotation of ~6 pieces to allow an initial dusting some seconds to get grip for the wet layer, but really nice, color shows up quickly

I wonder if my first bottle of ultralumen chrome was slightly defective or if Digital Armory improved their formula, because the second jar I'm using is 99% flawless even with my sloppy application. Base defects didn't go away, but they are better hidden with a cleaner chroming #gunpla
