CUSTOMIZING Decay and Rust

Thumbnail

292 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!

Had fun doing a group build event for 7-11 day with local Gunpla club a few months back. First build event since I got back into Gunpla after a 5 year hiatus so I went all out.

Yes I know it’s not correct scale with the building.

Its nice seeing both of my boys together. 😊

I alwasy liked this Gouf and found my old one in storage from the original Seed Destiny line I made years ago. Love the updated kit but I still have love for the old one too. Here's hoping we get more updates for Seed Destiny's grunt units. I have a whole set of Zaku warriors and Goufs from the Seed Destiny line (including the entry grade Slash Zaku Phantom and Blaze Zaku Phantom Heine's custom) and would love to recreate my little Zaku/Gouf army.

When I was schooling, I've always admired the seven swords design, thinking it should have been the default upgrade over the raiser pack.

Despite this being a 2011 MG, it withstands the test of time and looks majestic, proud and incredibly beautiful.

Enjoy the photos.

COMMUNITY Building Gunpla has definitely been helping me as someone who was born with a neurofibromatosis. It's a very rare disorder that can affect someone's brain function. My first build i did very struggle on a hg . And now I can do HG , MG , MGSD after getting into his hobby one year ago.

BUILD RG Sazabi with detailed inner frame

Thumbnail

57 Upvotes

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.

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

This is kit #6 for me and it was pretty ambitious, but I am glad it is over. There's some temptation to add weathering, but for now I am moving on as I've spent so much time on it already.

A lot of firsts for me on this kit so that means I learned a lot. Built this kit a while ago, but I decided to fully paint the inner frame because I hated how dull the plain gray looked so I had to take it all apart. Also didn't like how plain the fuel rods were so I picked up some 3D printed replacements from Aliexpress. Building and painting them was a nightmare. The plastic is incredibly brittle so safe to say, this build really leveled up my use of super glue. In the end, I really like how they came out. Panel lined, water slide decals added, top coated with gloss, and added photo etched parts (another difficult step. I had to glue these on and it was a nightmare even getting the parts in place.) plus funnel launch effects.

There are so many imperfections looking at it closely, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. Already building the Nu so he has an adversary.

Tips and advice are welcome. I only hand paint as I do not own an airbrush.
