Before and after... needed to add some junk in the trunk of the Psycho Gundam Mk II. Plz send more Mr. Cement S #gunpla #customgunpla

Got some good scrap building practice in by filling this hollow skirt armor piece on the Psycho Gundam. Next up is adding in more detail so it doesn't look so out of place. #gunpla

Older pic that I saw pop up on my phone, it's always nice to look back at older projects and be able to go "aw man, maybe that wasn't a total disaster after all" - and it looks pretty good for an RG. #gundam #gunpla

I do, yep. I usually sand after scribing, brush off the dust, then Mr Cement S... and usually sand and brush again if I spill some.

Some customized butts - uh, I mean rear skirt armor pieces for the Psycho Gundam Mk II's. The inside is hollow, one of the surprisingly HG-feeling features of this kit, so that'll be fun to fill in. #gunpla

It's been great seeing the progress on this! Such a nice, clean finish.

Finally some true wisdom. If you like the subject, you are like a thousand percent more likely to bother pushing through all the beginner mistakes and finish it. But also, don't spend a ton of money on something you've never done before if you don't need to.

the answer to “what kind of gunpla kit should i start with?” should always be “whatever $20 kit you think looks badass”

MG 1/100 - MS-06J Zaku II Some poses of my recently finished MG Zaku II. I wanted to be able to show off its great internal frame, so skeletonizing the armor on the left side allowed an awesome view of its mechanics. #gunpla #gundam #zakuii #zeon #airbrush #customgunpla

It's nice to make some incremental modeling progress at the end of a long day. #Gundam #gunpla

Finally completed the leg saga of my custom Pscho Gundam MK II project... so much scribing. I'm looking forward to moving onto the skirt armor, just for something different. #gunpla

I visited the UK and I feel bad for you guys. I thought Germany sucked for Gunpla...

It's basically PG-sized, which is cool but holy crap makes for a big project.

Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
Still scribing these Psycho Gundam legs, what keeps me going is how neat this will look with paint. #gunpla

I rather enjoy Gunpla.

What's crazy is that I remember this is as a big step up from the no-grade when it came out, back in the elder days

I would to an EG first, you don't even need to invest in nippers.

Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 17/05/2026
It looks like some of the decals aren't completely adhered ("silvering") with some random dust/hairs stuck in, which might be due to the parts being kind of dirty. They look a little greasy in your picture, but like I said, hard to tell.

Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Nice! Looks like you may want ro clean the parts more, hard to tell though.

Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Nice! The metallics look great!

Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Wow, that is a lot of masking!

Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Part 7: I like to work in sections like legs/head/body, and that's usually how the sheets are set up. I use a "third hand" holding devise to hold subsections at a convenient angle. For pairs of subsections, (like feet, arms) I do them at the same time to make it easier to align symmetrical decals.
010
Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Part 6: To save time, I usually dip another decal before placing one that is soaked and ready to slide off the sheet. Then, by the time I have a decal placed, I have next one ready. Decals have a pretty long grace period in the soak state, but do not let them dry. Some people even use a wet pallet.
120
Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Part 5: Decals apply better to a gloss or semi-gloss surface. A gloss top coat on top of the decals help them blend with the surrounding paint/plastic and adds protection. You can then do any other topcoat/weathering on top of that gloss layer.
120
Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Part 4: I often pre-wet the qtip slightly to make it more pliable. Sometimes, setter/softer can leaves water spot-like stains even with distilled water, but usually these can be cleaned up with distilled water and a makeup sponge or Qtip (just don't rub too hard and take off the decal).
120
Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Part 3: Warm water is better, I use a cheap USB mug warmer to keep my water warm. I like to cut out all the decals beforehand with scissors (keeping the labels) because it's less tedious than doing them one by one later. Just don't scatter them.
120
Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Part 2: One placed, drain excess solution with Qtip, applying pressure straight down to avoid moving decal. If decal is on a weird surface, add Mark Softer and repeat Qtip. Qtip can be subbed for soft makeup sponge Softer can be used at any stage before this also, but makes the decal very fragile.
120
Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
Part 1: Cut out decal. Dunk in distilled water with tweezers, place on a surface to soak for 30+ seconds. Put mark setter on model. Pick up decal and touch edge to paper towel to drain excess water. Use a fine paint brush to push decal onto model and place. If needed, push around using toothpick.

Scribtacular weekend, finally got to this beast of a section on the Psycho Gundam Mk-II, from the plan I made back in January (!). #gunpla

I would kill for HGAC releases of all the Wing grunt suits, love the designs.

Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 10/05/2026
Thank you for posting! I just bought this to go with my HGUC Psycho MK-II but I haven't done much research on the kit, this is a great overview!
110
Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 10/05/2026
Very well done, the base looks great with good variation of color and texture, and you did a good job of integrated the model with the base with the mud and dust effects. I also like the way you attached the base, I might have to steal it!

Interesting, thanks! I have been playing with the pro settings quite a bit, but they only go so far.

Thanks! I was trying to spice it up just a tiny bit from the original with the white parts.

Prinz Eugn @prinzeugn.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Thanks! I've had them for a while but they seemed like such a good fit for this kit. I also wanted to see how tonuse that weird sub-arm.
