WIP Shots: RX-78, Unicorn, Red Frame, Banshee

Posted by Falldog [www] 

Been a good while since I've posted so I figure I might as well dump a whole lot of work into one post!

All of these are in various phases of completion.

MG Banshee conversion using some resin parts for the head.

I couldn't get the antlers(?) properly straightened out but it'll do for my first go with resin parts. You can't really notice the issues from a distance (as in, it looks good on my shelf :D)

She's almost done now, but I can't find the pictures.

MG Red Frame. Painted the red parts with a darker, sparky red, much like my Blue Frame. Decals from Samuel Decal.

This shot is prior to a few minor touch-ups and a top coat.

Ah, my beloved 1/48 Scale RX-78-2. The paint scheme is inspired by the new theme they're using but I went my own way in some areas.

If you haven't seen it, I have a big review of the kit here.

The lines are still rough, so they'll need another go in some areas. Before it's all said and done I'll be weathering this guy.

There are a few parts of the kit that I hand brushed. A darker coat, followed by a lighter one. I like look.

Last but not least, the second of three Unicorn kits I'm currently working on. A straight build with a few details. I rather like Unicorn's Unicorn mode.

The stripes are done with Sig Super Stripe. You can read more on it here.

      Could be better, but I'm okay with it. Wish I had done a different shade of red. :(
