1/100 Force Impulse Gundam

I suppose it would be a cheat to call this my first Gundam, so lets just call it my first completed Gundam. The runners were dullcoted then assembled panel lined and dullcoted again. Speaking of which does anyone know of a dull or gloss sealer that wont run the ink? Anyway I'm happy with the final assembly in fact I'm over joyed. I botched the first two transfers so I didn't put them all on, anyway any and all comments and criticism is welcome.
Not on this picture but on subsequent I apologize for the iffy lighting it was my first time working with this new light.
Not bad. Lets get pics of the entire model ! Btw, what happened to the panel lines on the face/mask ? Too much top coat ?
Might try for more pics when I can get some better lighting. A mix of too much top coat, insufficient dry time for the ink and poor sanding.
hmmm i noticed you put the shoulder armor the wrong way round :)
Youre right. Those "squares" should be on the back.
i saw it and looked on my sword impulse and noticed it was back to front xD
LOL so did I ^_^
the lines are a bit thick, i think you should just do the panel line first then top coat it..^^ a single layer of topcoat pretty much dulls the plastic, making it look like it's painted, saw a lot of tutorial on youtube..:)
From what ive heard the matte coats absorb the panel lining ink and gives it that running effect that you dont want while the gloss coat doesnt. Maybe you should try panel line-gloss coat-matte coat? Im not really too sure, ive experienced the same effect you have and just did the matte coat then line last.
