#HGUC

I really wanted a project to test my skills, and I chose to do it with the HGUC Zudah. I did extensive seam line removal, removed mold lines, filled in some holes I didn't like with putty, and scribed out some of the shallower seam lines and details. I definitely need to upgrade my equipment on that front. I also didn't like the way that the rifle's scope was deeply recessed, so I used a length of sprue to extend it. I'm pleased with the results.

I used the weapons and parts of the body as a chance to practice quickly switching between colors in my airbrush. I also hand painted a lot of the details. After a couple months mainly doing mini painting, it felt like I had multi-classed or something. I painted the mono-eye and scope lenses with fluorescent enamel paint over a layer of white. It looks super cool in person and I will definitely use that technique again in the future.

The weathering was done starting with a layer of silver drybrushing. Then I used a Tamiya weathering pallet to create some contrast on the larger areas. I then finished with sponging on black. I had tried sponging before, but the sponge I used was way to big. Much happier with the result this time.

I am so so happy with how this kit turned out. It was a lot of work but it's great to see what I can do when I go all in.

As a bit of a detour before getting to Barbatos I have another p-bandai exclusive kit, the HGUC GM Spartan! I finished this back in June using Dspiae's paint markers for the little metallic details all over the kit and Tamiya's Acrylic X-7 Red for the leg verniers, waist plate and grenades on the side-skirt & X-11 Chrome Silver behind the visor to make it pop. After that it's just a few decals from Delpi, panel lining it and some spray can top coat to finish it.

Quick and simple, a nice break before moving on to the mountain of work that would be hand painting a master grade. High grade's are my grade of preference at the moment because of that, easy builds that give you (with lack of perfect color separation) the opportunity to reinterpret details and customize them in your own way over a weekend or two. Next time for sure I'll have the Master Grade Barbatos done along with a few extras to go with it. I hope you enjoy! ✌🏼

I need help from you little freaks in my phone. What kit should I buy myself so I have a little reward after mid terms?

They’re all around 58-60$ and like I’ve never built a MG before.

Which is like the best out of these to get?? I love them all but least fav is probably wing?? I’ve never seen that series really.

HGUC 1/144 RGM-79 "GM" E.F.S.F. Mass Production Mobile Suit

A real vintage one today!!! This version of the HGUC GM is from the early days of gunpla, back when there were only one or two foil stickers and every connection was a polycap.

You could really tell this was old, as there were only two runners. You'll notice the paint - the HGUC GM is mint green instead of white. This is an homage to the old old gunpla for the GM, back before sprues were pre-coloured or the grading system existed. That kit was completely mint green.

I actually have a vintage kit like this for the Zaku II, might photograph and post it here one day if there's enough interest.

Hobby Clubhouse’s review on the HGUC #002 Gyan inspired me to pull the trigger on buying the Valuable Pod accessory pack for the darn thing, primarily to see if I could give it a Gelgoog beam rifle. The verdict? Kinda…

To start, the new hands that come with the Valuable Pod allow this Gyan to hold all sorts of guns. The change to a rectangular hole does wonders for compatibility without modding guns themselves. Even the Gelgoog rifle fits!

The issue comes with the rest of the arm. The stock is so long it likes to hook around the elbow and warp itself. Since this Gyan’s wrists are pegs you can’t adjust it, either.

At first I gave up hope and thought I needed to mod the gun or the hand, but I found the magic angle in the hand itself!

It feels weird to sandwich in at that angle, but it doesn’t seem to stress any of the part involved. So with that I now present:

The Gyan if M’Quve wasn’t an idiot

Couple action shots of the big crab.

Im so so happy with how this turned out, brush painting was a bit of a pain but my god it’s satisfying seeing the results.

Next time im gonna work on checking clearances and priming better, paint scrapes off a lot in some of the joints which sucks but oh well

1/144 HGUC z’gok btw

I feel like the Kshatriya speaks for itself.

I've wanted this kit since I first watched Unicorn about 7 years ago. It's probably good that I waited this long, the Sleeves markings really tested my hand painting skills. I also have an issue where one of the arms is very floppy despite my attempts to fix it.

If you get this kit you'll want to get an action base 1 as well to really get the crazy poses that you're buying it for. It seems that the AB 1 is the only one compatible with it, though I may be mistaken.

The Gundam Ground type is a CLASSIC design, and a total work horse of the feddy forces. It also brought us 08th ms team so there is also that :D You can get one here though

When I was a kid I really wanted a Zeta gundam figure but too poor. Now I have adult money! So heres an HG Zeta build I decked out with the RG decals.
