Yep! matched the plastic colors where needed, painted the finer details and completely coated the rifles.

Nice and don't forget cut the front skirt in two. I think that when I get my Build Strike this Friday(It just arrived in Jacksonville FL at 3:38PM today) I'll ask my uncle for some white modeling paint since he builds model cars when he has the time too.

By the way did you know that in episode 48 of Mobile Fighter G Gundam you'll see RX-78-2 and Crossbone Gundam and in ep 49 you'll see Wing Gundam, Unit 1 fitted with the space booster pack from Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory, as well as Victory Gundam from Gundam Victory or is it V Gundam?

Totally nailed that one!

About the G-Gundam stuff, couldn't miss it! I'm going to reenact the RX-78's rocket ride with the PG Unicorn's Full Armor boosters when they get released!

Hehehe I did the same to my HG Wing Gundam and HG Wing Gundam Zero. I would love to see that.

Wow , nice! Do you know anything about weathering?

Not my strong suit, but one way of doing it dry brushing with a stiff hair brush.
I know Tamiya makes a number of weathering kits that sort of look like make-up sets with different colors and environments.

Does Testors work too?

GeneralMechanics In reply to Ask-SpiceGumo [2014-04-02 13:03:45 +0000 UTC]

Testors? Frell yeah! That's my brand! I know Tamiya makes the weathering kits but you can easily do this with Testors paint too.

stiff bristled brush + silver enamel = instant metal scraping.
