1/5000 Star Destroyer

Introduction:

It’s strange that every time I look at this completed kit I start to hear the ‘Imperial March’ in my head. I grew up with Star Wars, like a lot of people my age the original Trilogy was my introduction to the series and Scifi as a genre. When one of my buddies turned me on to this upcoming release I preordered it immediately. 

There are currently two versions of the Bandai 1:5000 Star Destroyer, one includes LEDs the other does not. If you’re already comfortable with wiring up LEDs I’d recommend the base model, but if you want something that looks good right out of the box. The LED version is the way to go. This is the LED version of the kit.  

This is the 28th and last build of 2019! It was a really nice kit to end the year on. 

Kit Talk:

One reason I love the Star Wars kits from Bandai is their simplicity. These models take comparatively little time to build and paint. There are no inner frames, or intense articulation to worry about (excluding the 1/12 figures). This model was built in a single sitting on stream and painted in basically one afternoon including the masking the hull several times. Building this kit has reminded me how much I like working on this line, and I’m seriously considering building several more Star Wars models next year. 

I painted this kit using the following process:

Gray Primer

Base coated the entire model with Neutral Gray #5 (almost black)

Several thin layers of Neutral Gray #3 including highlighting raised areas

The first layer of masking for the ‘aztecing’ 

Several thing layers of Neutral Gray #1 & 2 with additionally masking for ‘aztecing’

Removed all the masking

A final thin layer of Neutral Gray 1 & 2 to blend the ‘aztecing’ with the rest of the hull colors

I realize the term ‘aztecing’ is more of a Star Trek thing, but the idea is the same. I used a variety of grey tones masked in simple geometric shapes to break up the giant field of gray.

The process is pretty fun and I think the shading turned well, the hull has plenty of color variation and a decent patina without looking completely filthy. If anything I should have applied another thin layer of grey to some of the darker patches to reduce the contrast and tie everything together better.  

RG Unicorn Gundam Ver. TWC [Lighting Model]

Introduction:

Have you been to Odaiba? Have you seen the 1:1 Unicorn in person? I haven’t, but with this little guy in my collection, I feel like I have a little piece of that experience in my own home. 

This kit (unsurprisingly) is mostly the RG Unicorn with a new inner frame, some translucent white psycho frame parts and a series of LEDs. As a result, you end up with a lot of leftover spare parts for kitbashing for replacements. 

The assembly and wiring of this kit are very straight forward and the LEDs are wired into a flexible frame so there is no wire management needed. Everything just sort of ‘works’ with little effort. My one critique of this kit is that I really wish the LEDs produced a cool green instead of this warm yellow/green color we have.  

Kit Talk:

There isn’t much to say about the Unicorn at this point. I’ve built so many of them that I could assemble one blindfolded. 

One thing I was a bit disappointed by was that this kit didn’t include a set of water slide decals. This version of the Unicorn, of course, has a different decal scheme, and I couldn’t find an acceptable set of 3rd party waterslides to duplicate the 1:1 Unicorn. Instead, I fell back on the classic Katoki decal scheme by way of the HG decal set. 

Color Guide:

White: Gaiacolor White

Blue: Gaiacolor Ultra Blue mixed with Cobalt Blue

Grey: Gaiacolor Neutral Gray 4 mixed with Neutral Gray 5

Yellow: Gaiacolor Sunshine Yellow
Metal: Gaiacolor Gunmetal

MG Stormbringer

Introduction:

In my opinion, the Stormbringer is one of only a few good designs to come out of Build Divers. But, it’s also a design that I’ve gradually cooled on, the line art for the design is fantastic, but the model doesn’t quite live up to that. The Stormbringer is based on the GM Turbulence, which is in turn based on the GM Dominator and GM Sniper II. The Stormbringer, therefore, has many of the same proportions and styling cues as those other models.

Kit Talk:

There are a few problems with the Stormbringer that needed to be fixed. The side boosters on the calf of each leg have a nasty seam line about 2/3rds of the way across the part. Fusing this seam was a challenge due to the details present. Additionally, there was a nasty gap in the front of the ankle guards. I fixed the gap by painting the grey and white parts separate, fusing the two halve of the white armor together and then painting the white parts 

During the final assembly, I noticed that the arms and shoulders had become very floppy. It made posing the kit rather difficult as a result. 

I based the color scheme of my kit on the ‘animation’ colors of the Gundam. The bright colors are somewhere between a pastel and fluorescent color.  

Color Guide:

White: Nazca Steel White

Blue: Gundam Color or Builders Blue

Red: Gundam Color or Builders Red

Yellow: Gundam Color or Builders Yellow + White

Grey: Neutral Gray 3 + Neutral Gray 4

Dark Grey: Neutral Gray 5 + Neutral Gray 4

Sensor Green: Mr. Color Clear Green over a base of silver

RG Tallgeese III

Introduction:

This is the very first opportunity that I’ve had to build a Tallgeese III. I’m personally a big fan of the Massive Mallard Duo, but the Leggy Honk Trois has its appeal. Unfortunately, like other recent versions of the Elevated Fowl Drei, this version was a P-Bandai exclusive. Fortunately it seems to have received a fairly wide release within the US, so hopefully you’ve already had a chance to pick up a Stretched Duck Tres for yourself. 

Kit Talk:

This kit was built mostly out of box. Like most of the RGs, there are very few seam lines or other things that must be ‘fixed’ on this model kit to get it looking right. 

This model is partially molded using gloss injection; a lot of people may be familiar with this type of plastic from the RG Sinanju. I opted to keep the stock color scheme of the Sizable Swan San including repaint most of those glossy areas. I think this choice to use glossy paint gives the Colossal Cygnus 3 a regal and knightly appearance. I only needed to mask on small area of this kit. The ‘Ultra blue’ “sideburns” on either side of the face are molded in white, but appear blue of the cover art. Panel lining on this kit was done using Tamiya’s enamel ‘Sky Blue’ color. I will be experimenting more with color panel lining in the future.

Color Guide:

White: Gaianotes Ultimate White

Off White: Nazca Steel White

Frame Gray: Neutral Gray, Yellow, Brown

Blue: Gaianotes Ultra Blue

Yellow: Gaianotes Sunshine Yellow

Red: Bright Red

Verniers: Dark Stainless Steel

The decals from this kit are from Delpi Decals. Delpi Decals is quickly becoming my favorite source for decals; their print resolution and the detail featured on these decals is top notch. They likely rival if not surpasses Bandai’s own decals at times.

High Grade Sandrock Gundam

Introduction:

About eighteen years ago, I picked up my first Gundam model kit from a Walmart or ToysRUs. I can’t remember which model was my ‘first’ but I think I’ve narrowed it down to the 1/100 HG Wing, ‘no grade’ Tallgeese or Sandrock. As a result, this brand new 1/144 High-Grade Sandrock felt very nostalgic. I’m hoping that Bandai will hurry up the other suits from Gundam Wing so I can complete my nostalgia trip  

Kit Talk:

This kit is very basic, the part count is fairly low, there are some seam lines to contend with and some masking that needs to be done. Despite all that, I think it’s a very nice design and a well-rounded kit. 

One element that I thought was off was the height of the neck. With the stock piece, this kit looks a little stretched. I cut about 2mm out of poly cap before gluing it back together. The left 'before' image is from Dalong and the right is my 'after' image.

I also took the time to rescribe some of the edge detail on the legs and ankle guards. I wasn’t convinced there was enough for the panel wash to grab onto. 

If you look at all the work collected here on my site, you’re going to see that I don’t shade kits very often. I don’t really care for the way it looks, and while it’s not a difficult technique, it’s time-consuming. Despite that, I do periodically use this technique as a form of creative ‘exercise’. 

I started by shaded the white, and grey areas with a violet purple color; the dark blue of the armor started with black and they yellow with scarlet. Those colors were then base coated and blended with their respective colors. The grey and dark blue areas also received a slight highlight in places. 

No decals for this kit, I think that kits can look too busy with both shading and decals. 

This kit is available now through JoJoHobbyNStuff, and if you use coupon code "GOODGUNPLA" between now and the end of 2019 you can save 15% off on this kit and just about everything else in store!

RG Nu Gundam JoJoHobbyNStuff Custom

Introduction:

A little over a year ago when the RG Sazabi was released, everyone was speculating on a future RG Nu Gundam Release date. A year later, the RG Nu was met with a serious amount of hype and a lot of praise. It's all one-hundred-percent deserved; the RG Nu is a fantastic build. If you haven't picked one up I strongly urge you to stop here, and order the kit (preferably through my link below!).

Kit Talk:

Much like the RG Sazabi Shin gave me a bit of direction on where he wanted the color scheme to go. It was a pretty broad description "White, with a glowing blue", a "light counter to the nearly black RG Sazabi". Unfortunately, the glowing blue that we really wanted (Gaia Color AR-01) wasn't available, so instead, we settled on something equally bright, but not 'glowing'.

The color scheme features white, and three off white colors including, Nazca 'Steel White', 'Neutral Gray #'1 and 'Pearl Silver', the pearl effect, however, is not visible.

The gray inner frame is a combination of 'Neutral Gray #3, 'Nazca Frame Gray' and 'Gunmetal'.

The V-fin and crotch marking are both painted with 'Gaia's Pearl Gold'. It's a really neat color that benefits from being moved around in the light. The sensors in the head are 'Mr. Crystal Color Sapphire Blue' over a base of 'Gloss Black'.

Decals are a combination of HIQ generic markings, and decals from the HG Unicorn, with a few blue MG Exia and Qan[t] decals thrown in for good measure. 

JojoHobbyNStuff rush ordered one of these kits so that I could built it for you over my Twitch channel. Show them (and me) some love by picking up this kit, or anything else using coupon code 'GoodGunpla'! This coupon will save you 15% on just about everything in stock through the end of 2019!

MG MS-06R Zaku II High Mobility Type (Reuse "P" Device) aka Psycho Zaku

Introduction:

If you have caught any of the YouTube, or blog posts talking about my 2018 plans; then you'd know I'm building a bunch of gigantic kits for 'The Year of Giants". The Psycho Zaku was first on the list, and it's unsurprisingly massive. So massive, that it cannot fit into my Ikea Detolf shelf with the fuel booster attached!

The 'Psycho' Zaku is an experimental unit equipped with a next generation operating system. This new system is able to integrate the pilot directly into the mobile suit; allowing them to control the suit directly via their thoughts. Even rookie pilots are able to master the controls in a very short period of time. Unfortunately there's is a gruesome price that must be paid for this advantage. To take fully integrate with the system, the pilot must be quadruple amputee to fully harness the power of this mobile suit.

Kit Talk:

I approached this kit with the intent of finishing it in three stages:

1. Weapons
2. Fuel Tanks
3. Mobile Suit

But, as the build started to drag on the Weapon and Fuel tanks stages congealed into one large stage. I posted a you tube video summarizing the first stage about a week before finishing the kit. If you're interested in my thoughts on these parts, you can check that video out here.

The mobile suit part of the kit was very straight forward, as it is essentially a Zaku 2.0 kit with some extra doodads and new parts. I wasn't sure about all of the gold details on the kit, and I chose to paint the thruster bells with a two color gray and gold scheme. After everything was assembled I really grew to like the embellishment that they provide.

The joint covers are a tad bit frustrating, and the power piper covers were a bigger pain in the butt. 

I've been experimenting with mono-eyes over the last year. I have used: detail parts, aurora domes, scribing and painting to create new effects. With this kit I tried a new technique, a simple white dot place slightly off center. It's a really basic effect, but I like it. In future projects I think I may take the technique further by hand painting for lens detail and coating it with a clear color.  

I chose to hand paint a few details on this kit like: the gray belting on the legs and several of the small circular divots found all over the kit. They're small details, but small details make a good kit great. 

Colors:

I used the following colors on the kit. 

• Main body: Gaia Color 003 Bright Red
• Knees, feet, hands, etc: Gaia Color 061 Midnight Blue
• Thrusters & details: Gaia Color 122 Star Bright Gold
• Chest, biceps and details: Custom mixed orange (Identical to the orange used on the Thunderbolt Gundam)
• Joints & weapons: Gaia Color 073 or 074 Neutral Gray 3 or 4 
• Fuel tanks & backpack: Custom mixed Gaia Color 014 Natural Brown & 02 Black 
• Details & thruster covers: Gaia Color 71 Neutral Gray 1
• Topcoat: Gaia Color 008 Flat Clear

FF-X29A G-Parts[Hrududu]/RX-121-1+FF-X29A Gundam TR-1 Hazel-Rah

Introduction:

In case you're wondering... no, a cat didn't wander across my keyboard, that whole mess of a model number is the Hazel-Rah's model number. The HG Hurududu isn't much to write home about, it's real purpose is to be combined with other kits from the AOZ series. In the basis G-Parts form the Hurududu looks somewhat like a fighter craft. 

I didn't realize until too late that you can combine two Hurududus along with some other components to make the second form of the Hazel-Rah. So here's the slightly less awesome Hazel-Rah.

Kit Talk:

Fun fact, there is a older version of the 1/144 Hurududu out there. Danny Choo has an article up for it here: https://dannychoo.com/en/posts/hrududu

Compared to that old magazine pack in, this model is way easier to assemble and paint. However, there are still come seam lines, and masking that should be done to create a better finish. Also included with this kit are a small selection of water slide decals! I'm always excited to see these included with a kit!

I built this at the same time as the HG Hazel I posted a few weeks ago. All colors are therefor consistent across the two kits for obvious reasons. 

These models are still available through JoJoHobbynStuff! You can pick up one (or two) today at a discount using my coupon code "GoodGunpla"!

RMS-117 Galbaldy β Collab Project

Introduction:

I am happy to say that this is my third completed patron collaboration for 2019. If you would like to participate in future collaborative projects please consider signing up to support me over on patreon.com! I have one more collab planned before the year is done. I hope that you will join us for the next round!

My patron Sebastian submitted his Glabaldy for this round of the collab. I've wanted to paint up a Galbaldy since the HG was announced, but I never quite got around to picking one up. Sebastian had very clearly put a lot of effort into his kit. He used panel line scribing to hide seam lines, and photo etched parts to add detail. All in, he put a lot of effort into his build and it was a blast to work on! Thanks Sebastian!

Kit Talk:

When this kit arrived I still didn't have a strong concept in mind. However, I've always thought that the Galbaldy looked a lot like Zeon's Gelgoog. From there the scheme developed. I really like the combination of green colors I mixed up for the kit. It gives the Galbaldy a striking 'army man' feel. The separation of colors suits the design of the mobile suit as well. After airbrushing the primary colors I hand painted Vallejo's 'Phantom Gray' into a few areas on the body.

The kit arrived with out the 'belly button' hatch, I made a replacement from Koto MSG parts I had around. I also added a HIQ dome after painting it red to make the head 'pop'. Decals came for a 1/144 HIQ marking set, with the exception of the Neo Zeon emblem on the rear skirt. I wanted the completed mech to look like Neo Zeon had 'acquired' this MS after the Gryps Conflict.

I am happy to say that this is my third completed patron collaboration for 2019. If you would like to participate in future collaborative projects please consider signing up to support me over on patreon.com!

HG RX 121-1 TR-1 Hazel Custom Gundam

Introduction:

I don't really know much about Advance of Zeta. I know that the Titans Test Team experimented with mobile suits to help their faction to gain an edge in battle. I know the names of the mobile suits are a reference to the Richard Adams book: Watership Down. And I know that the Hazel is less of a Gundam and more of a fancy pants GM.

The Gundam Hazel Custom (not to be confused with the Hazel Gundam, Advanced Hazel Gundam or Hazel II Gundam) is the repaired form of the Rx 121 Hazel which is based on the GM Quel. And... at this point I expect my audience's eyes to glaze over. Yes, the AOZ MS names are irritating and I can't be bothered to write more of the development history out. Suffice to say: rabbit team add parts to robot and robot fight good. 

Kit Talk:

This is the P-Bandai re-release of the HG Hazel. It's the same kit from 10-15 years ago but it does include parts that can be used to bash the Wound Wort onto it and some water slides decals.

The HG Hazel is a rough kit, It has more than a few seam lines these are present on the shoulders, arms, weapons, feet among other areas. Some of the seam lines like the fore arms took some clever thinking to fix.

You can also expect that a fair amount of masking and painting will be necessary to hit all of the color applications. Hand painting was an absolute must to hit smaller details like the gray cross members in the mohawk.

On the flip side this kit can be combined with a few others like the Primrose and Hurududu (expect that one in a few weeks) to make some cool combos.

Also I want to point out how absolutely amazing the decal details are on this little guy. I had to bring out the macro lens to capture everything!

I purchased this kit through JojoHobbyNStuff! Show them (and me) some love by picking up this kit, or anything else using coupon code 'GoodGunpla'! This coupon will save you 10% on just about everything in stock! And every purchase helps to support me too!

Also if you like what I did with this kit. Then you should check out my Etsy page. This kit along with the Hurududu will likely be for sale in a few weeks. I have a bunch of other cool Gundam stuff for sale too!

RG Crossbone Gundam X-1

Introduction:

Nope, still haven't read the Crossbone Manga. But, hey 'Giant Pirate Robot' is an interesting enough concept for me. Like the Master Grade one of the best elements of the RG Crossbone are the host of weapons and elements included with this kit. It has a plethora of melee and ranged weapons, some great beam effects and a sweet poncho.

Kit Talk:

This was a pretty quick and basic build. I opted to 'RG-ify' the paint scheme by using a light grey in addition to the white to break up the larger areas. The red 'scars' by the eyes were painted tamiya's red enamel using a reverse wash. Many of the beam effects (particularly the shield) were painted with various pearl paints to reflect different colors at different angles.

The cloak was shaded using post and pre-shading along with using black pastels to create low lights.

Decals are from Flaming Snow by way of HobbyFrontline. The decals are of decent quality but I would have preferred to have the gold decals printed in Yellow instead of the gold.

JojoHobbyNStuff was able to get me this kit in advance of the official US release. So, show them (and me) some love by picking up this kit, or anything else using coupon code 'GoodGunpla'! This coupon will save you 10% on just about everything in stock!

MG RGM-89D Jegan Type-D (Camouflage Ver.)

Introduction:

I've you watched any of my streams for more than five minutes, you'll know that I very strong opinions about the Jegan. And if you're hoping that after building the MG Jegan that I would have gain some new perspective and respect for the design; then you would absolutely be mistaken. The Jegan is perhaps my least favorite design for any mobile suit across the Gundam franchise. It's remarkably ugly, It's curvy in all the wrong places and the color schemes reminds me of feeling nauseous.

The Master Grade model is pretty uninspired too.

On a more serious note on 8/28/2019 I will be adding this kit to my eBay auction. All proceeds from that auction will be donated to the National Suicide Prevention Life Line. I feel very strongly about supporting this charity and if you would like to participate in this auction please keep your eyes on my social media pages. The auction will start at the MSRP that I paid for this kit ($45), the auction run for 5 days ending on September 1st. 

I hope that you will join me for this very special charity event. 

Kit Talk:

I think it's pretty obvious that the color scheme has been updated. If you've made it to the end of Gundam Unicorn you may recognize this Camouflaged version of the Jegan otherwise known as the 'Cheyenne Type'. It appears for all of ten seconds in one scene. However during those 10 seconds I learned how a color scheme could change a mobile suit from being repulsive to merely tolerable.

The blocky splinter/dazzle camo scheme helps to break up the large featureless chunks of armor that Bandai couldn't be bother to put any effort into. My favorite element of this kit is the asymmetric design of the camo. The design looks like the Federation's camo painter got half way through and just thought 'screw it' and gave up. 

The armor was further enhanced using various weather techniques including: filters, dry brushing, streaking, decal weathering and sponge chipping. The Jegan feels awfully at home cover in other gunk and detritus like all the other garbage.

If you like this suit and want to buy one, then you have poor taste and should be ashamed, I've included links to some good kits in here instead 

T-Shirt designs are live on Etsy!

HG RGM-79KC GM Intercept Custom

Introduction:

I have no doubt that people are going to have some very strong opinions about the color scheme of the GM Intercept Custom. I really like the colors, and as a result I'd like to do more with a similar scheme (Robert Gilliam Zaku). This was a really basic, really quick build that shares a lot of common parts with the other two Origin GM kits I have built the Sniper and Cannon. If you haven't already picked up an Origin GM, I really recommend that you track one down. So far there are four variants of the Origin GM out, with more on the way. 

Kit Talk:

Of all of the GM Origin kits I've seen this one has the lowest value proposition. It's accessories are limited, components of the armor can be found on the other 3 variants and other than the visor and beam saber mount, there isn't anything unique about this kit. It's a perfectly fine model, but doesn't do much to "wow". There is a P-Bandai variant coming out soon that features the Fellow Booster. If you don't mind paying P-Bandai money I'd recommend checking that one out. The Fellow Booster is the standout component of the original MSV design. And, it's just ugly and crazy enough to make me take notice.

Colors on this include a custom blend of Gaia's Lavender and Blue Gray paint, as well as a custom blend of white and orange yellow. Custom elements were kept to a minimum. But include, a new set of hands and some re-scribed details around the head.  

 

If you purchase this kits through the Amazon links on my site, Amazon will provide me with a tiny percentage that helps me to things keep running. The best part is, it doesn’t cost you a dime! So consider supporting me with a purchase through Amazon today!

HG RX-0 Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility

Introduction:

The Full Armor Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility or just Unicorn Perfectibility was another set of equipment planned to upgrade the Unicorn. The large back mounted Armed Armor DEs give the Unicorn a angelic appearance similar to the Phenex. Unlike the Full Armor's focus on heavy firepower, the Perfectibility seems to focus on mobility and support through the Shield funnels. 

This kit is currently available through the Gundam Base in Japan, so it may be a bit hard to acquire through the normal channels. I recieved this kits from the JoJoHobbyNStuff A Baoa Qu loot box. Speaking of which Use coupon code "GOODGUNPLA" to receive 10% off your order on this kit, or most other items for sale on the site! Every purchase you make with this coupon helps to directly support my work as well!  

Kit Talk:

To be completely frank, this kit was a pain to paint. I've seen a lot of people build this kit, and leave the Armed Armor DE's bereft of their gray details. I opted to go through and airbrush each area. It was time consuming, frustrating but ultimately very rewarding. 

The psycho frame was painted with a mixture of clear blue and Mr. Crystal color Amethyst Blue Pearl. The metallic blue was a mixture of silver and character blue. I opted to leave both of these blue colors raw with out flat coating them.  

Decals on this one were kept to a minimum, the decals I employed were all taken from the HG ver. ka set. In hindsight more decals would have been better to break up the huge amounts of white paint.

HG MS-06RD-4 Zaku High Mobility Test Type

Introduction:

Since MS-06RD-4 Zaku High Mobility Test Type is a mouthful I'm just going to be calling this one 'Aina's Zaku'. Because, while this specific kit is a reference to a MSD manga, most of us will recognize this design as being Aina Sahleen's Zaku from the first episode of 8th MS Team. 

Like the name suggests Aina's Zaku is a test type mobile suit. It was utilized to test the rocket thruster design that would eventually be used on the Rick Dom. This particular unit would be destroyed during the events of the first episode of 8th MS team, however the data collected on the new thrusters would be saved and used to prepare the Rick Doms for deployment. Judging by the appearance of the mobile suit it's little more than a standard Zaku torso mounted to a pair of early Dom waist and legs. 

Kit Talk:

Despite looking pretty basic for a P-Bandai this kit does feature some new parts; such as: a partially new head, new shoulder armor, chest, feet and machine gun. Most of these parts are only available on this particular kit. 

I kept the mods to this kit fairly basic. I added replacement hands from the build custom round finger pack (size small), bored out the mono eye and added a HIQ aurora gem and performed seam line fusion on the arms, shoulder, chest and machine gun. The color blends are also all custom, the purple in particular is more saturated than the molded color. 

Decals from this kit are from 'Flaming Snow' via hobby front line.

This kit is due to get a reprint in the near future. Speaking of which, if you purchase this kits through the Amazon links on my site, Amazon will provide me with a tiny percentage that helps me to things keep running.
