MG 1/100 Gundam RX-178 MK II (ver2.0)
this is my first attempt on applying shading and weathering on a gundam kit.
the stuff that I used on this kit are:
>Tamiya Weathering Master E (gray) for shading
>dry brush method using Tamiya Titanium Silver on the internal frame and weapons.
>for the final touch, I spray painted it with "dull lacquer"
applied the titanium silver paint too thick on the internal frame >.<
Nice work.. Looked like an old... unused RX-178 without any rust ^_^
come to think of it...yeah! I forgot to add rust!
i'm wondering where you get your decals.
the decals I used were the ones included with the kit. :D
I think your version is the one I like the most among those RX-178 MG ver. 2.0 out there!! Really like the weathering you've done.
thank you! :D
The shading is almost like what I did in my Rx-178

I think you overdid the weathering on the beam rifle..
Well it is quite plausible that weapons get more damage from use than the gundam itself? Also, who's to say that weapon came from another one it defeated or something hehe..
Nice work mate; like any skill there is only one way to go and that's "up". Just keep at it :)
thanks mike. :D looking forward to your completed PG Strike. I'm considering of buying a PG as my 10th kit. :D
nice work on your rx-178 arein. I really thought the same way with the beam rifle weathering. it's my first attempt to do weathering, and the beam rifle was the guinea pig. :D
Lol.. Figures why it looked so worn out ;D
teh bazooka look all scratched up lol. Great details?
i thought the weapons were frosted lol
when you showed the other pics- the scratched effect is awesome
i cant stop checking out the bazooka
glad you liked it ed. thanks! :D
