Build is finally over.
Wed 2009/12/16 08:29 JST
My first Gundam build is finally over. Took me about 6 hours over 2 days to complete it. Turned out to be quite nice.
I'm not really a good painter, don't even have an air brush kit and/or enamels. Certainly have to by a set of Gundam markers later on. Another thing that I have to work on is how to properly clean little mold remains on the sides of the detail. Removing them with paper cutter works, but not very well. Every so often I either make a white spot, especially on hard casts, or cut too deep, leaving the ridge.
Anyways quite pleasant experience. Gonna do it again sometime.
ThanX everybody for useful advises.
Some more reflections and photos on modeling theme in my blog post. C YA.
Great work.
You have done a great job for a first build ^^ The Van Saviour is a very nice kit. I love the colors. As for those mark or nub marks you can use sandpaper to remove them. Sand from 400 all the way to 1500 grit you should be able to clear them :D
Nice. Congrats and welcome to the world of Gunpla where resistance is futile for your wallet! *Insert your favorite evil laugh*
Good 1st straight build... At least you have all the appropriate tools... I used scissors for my 1st... ^^;
LOL Me too didn't know i had to actually use correct tools till i search it online :D
LOL, i used a nail cutter for my 1st build
I used only an X-acto knife on my first.
Nice but is that the only way to pose the shoulders on that 1st pic?
Nope, check out other pics.
congrats for your first gundam.
