Great show Syd and Ryan. Looking forward to your finished Build Gundam Mk. 2. A question though: are they still going to issue an MG Star Build Strike, or the Universe Booster parts are all we need to add to Build […]
so sometimes not using it would be acceptable if i’ll be painting a dark color over a ligher one? i read about the black primer for a metallic finish, want to see it for myself. 🙂
well i asked others and they told me it was because of the paint being an old stock. but yeah i noticed it blows paint pretty poorly when its almost empty. nope, i…[Read more]

WIP 7: Finally done with my contest entry! 🙂 This would be my first big gunpla contest and I really had a lot of first-times such as enamel wash, toothpick skills, hand-painting the pilots, hand-painting the clear parts instead of using stickers, hand-painting silver leaf on small details, and masking the glossy parts before…[Read more]
