CUSTOMIZING Decay and Rust

Thumbnail

290 Upvotes

It’s been about a year from the last full build, paint and detailing. Wanted to push myself a bit past what I’m comfortable doing. This kit was a gift to a graffiti artist hommie.

Painted with the cheapest of Amazon airbrushed, I wanted to create something that looked ruined and abandoned. I hand painted his tag and then whited off a spot on the other shield - so he can add another micro tag if he wants.

I typically struggle with over weathering and I fear I might have fallen victim to it once again. The rust and decay was made with super glue, paint and a good olde weathering kit.

Feedback is welcomed!

I'm experimenting with different types of tools and techniques to start to weather my kits. This HG Heindree has been the first victim.

Any feedback would be very appreciated!

Loved this build sort of? The build itself was exactly the same almost as the original kampfer, love both of them equally though. The decals I’m using are the depli decals, love them cause of how much they add to the kit. Overall recommend the kit if your a fan of a good monoeye but def need a screwdriver if your doing the build

BUILD RG Sazabi with detailed inner frame

I’m super happy with how this came together. This was my first time detailing the inner frame and I really loved both the process and the final result. My only major hiccup with the build was breaking the infamous shoulder joint on the right side. No idea why Bandai made the shoulder assembly to torso connection so unreasonably tight, but I was able to glue it back in place and still have the second joint of the assembly functional so it ultimately worked out. It also looks great next to the RG Nu I straight built a year and a half ago. I considered going back and adding some marker detailing to that one too but after this kit being my ongoing project for 3 months I’m ready for a change of pace.

I painted all the details with markers, including replacing the foil stickers.

My first time brush painting. I may have used too much primer spray on some areas and ended up with some grainy surfaces. Got a bit better when I got to the rifle.

I added some metal etchings painted gold to flair up the details.

Looking to pick up the Westenfluss GOUF Ignited and ZAKU Warrior to "Complete" his set.

One day I'll get the SD Zaku Warrior, but that's just an extra.

EDIT: Oh these photos are so much worse than I realized. I apologize. Gotta get a new phone eventually.
