So, weathering attempt number three is a go. I have no idea how I did.

This is the 1/144 HGUC Gelgoog Marine from Stardust Memories. It's a beast and I hope my work does it service. I was trying to make it look like a well loved machine that has parts banged up and replaced often (actually, the little thrusters on its backpack are the ones left over from the HG Gundam I used for making the Prototype Gundam... the originals fell off and I didn't notice it until... well, years later). I was originally going to use the machine gun but opted against it. This guy looks like he does for a reason. He likes it rough and rowdy, up close and very personal. Of course, nothing says a woman isn't he pilot either. I think Zeon is pretty much an equal opportunity piloting group. I have no clue what rank I gave this unit as I wanted to keep it all white decals. Yellow and red just didn't look right. Since Gouf ran off with the last of the white lowest rank, I went with this. Whatever rank it is, I haven't the foggiest.

Dullcoating fried my brain, attempted washing mixed with pen work unscrewed most of the damage. Paint flecks and rust bubbles created with household salt setting on the primer.

Colors:

Model Master: Gunship Gray, Medium Gray, Pale Green
Polly S: Grimy Black, Steam Power Black

All because kept on me about trying to expand my horizons. I like what happened here.
