Bought this kit for a friend who likes Duo's suits a lot. Got it over the internets for like 5$ including shipping. Modded and painted it for him as a Christmas present. Comments and critics are welcome. Used some brushes to paint it since I don't have cans or airbrush. I really like how Mr.Hobby paints covers and don't show much brushes marks on the kit. I included some WIP shots to to show the process. Enjoy everyone!!
Put some ''fun-takk'' in the head so the light don't show from sides or under the head.
Wish I had more time to do a real photoshoot, but it was completed on the 23rd and I gave it to my friend on Christmas eve.
Looks great in the dark! :)
But why use only green? Green is nice with black, but probaly not with blue. Even if not accurate to the show, maybe red would look nicer on the other two? :)
Well, I was going for an accurate look, but gotta say that choosing another color is really tempting too. For my future projects I'll keep that in mind. Thanks btw!
I love this photo with the afternoon sun! Among other things, I like how the texture and the paint job shows up here and how the gundam casts shadows on itself. :D
Very Cool, First time ive seen someone mod the eyes like this, Makes me wanna do it for my Zaku II and EZ-8. Nice job!
Thanks! I mod all of my 1/100 with LEDs, makes them Gundam look more, alive or functional.
Wow! That looks great for a handbrushed kit!
Thanks!! Really like how Mr.Hobby paint applies.
That is amazing work! You can make me a gundam anytime you want, bro ;)
Which one would you like? Seriously, when I'll be more experienced I'll try asking if people want some specific suit or gundam do be modded and would build it for them. I know a lot of people who really like gunplas but don't have the patience/time/skills or whatever to do it themselves and only for the price of the model itself, I would gladly do it for them. You never stop learning so the more experience I get, the better I become, the more I enjoy this hobby. Sorry for the long reply! Happy new year!
I've always wanted a Tallgeese 3 or Serpent figure from the Endless Waltz OVA, but i am pretty sure they are rare? GunPla has always been a fascination for me but i've never been any good at crafting the models myself, or else they would take up the bulk of my collection! Oh btw thought i better tell you that i replied to your comment on my room post incorrectly so you won't get notified ._.
Old gunplas are pretty rare and some are pretty expensive for the quality, but seeing Bandai release the original Wing Gundam (my favorite suit of all) , Deathscythe ver.Ka and Deathscythe Hell custom, and planning on releasing the other ver.Ka from Gundam Wing, I'm pretty confident that eventually, Epyon, Tallgeese 3 and others will be released too.
awesome paint job!
Thanks!!
Very nice, I should try LED work some time
Yes! It gets easier really fast and is fun too! Be sure to share the results with us! Happy new year!
just getting around to this and this looks great for the 1/144 amiright?
Seriously, mine doesn't compare and at $5 is a steal XD
It's actually the normal 1/100 that came out way back. It was pretty cheap because it was already built, but I didn't mind because I knew I was gonna modify it anyway. Take care!!
