finished another kit! did a matte topcoat on this one. waterslides have spoiled me I guess cuz instead of putting a single sticker on the dra-c I opted to paint everything instead. I was gonna glue one of these pink bedazzle gems my friend gave me cuz they look like monoeyes, but I think they’re master grade compatible only. oops! I had already so CONFIDENTLY thrown out the sticker so I had no choice but to hand paint it. I fucked up and put it way too high at first, like where the three paths meet but I wasn’t happy with it at all so I painted over with more black and tried closer to the center, which I think worked!!! it’s a legless mobile suit kinda day I guess! OOO I also added some silver and black to the gun to break up the grey, and I think it came out totally bad ass.
he liked a couple of my modeling tweets all his builds are amazing, my favorites are the gundam pulling up his underwear and the fetal position gundams
This is so fun! rapid fire pick your fave master grade edition. the number you pick at the beginning is how many random kits are thrown in the pile
sazabi ver ka is the peoples choice for best MG it looks like. i just did a round of 32 random kits and the MG Turn A won. gonna try 128 kits now mwahahaha
ooo it looks like it throws some RG and re/100 kits in there too
the-o won for me, then the new MG rick dom, then the 2.0 gelgoog, which happen to be the three master grade kits i want the most WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
there’s a model kit youtube channel I watch with a lady who might be sexually attracted to the sazabi, like not in a serious hot-gluing way but it’s like her emet, and I didn’t really care for it too much before (so much of that red. chars old suits have more chars pink but the sinjanju, sazabi, and nightingale are like corvette red. I could paint shit of course but I don’t have a setup really to paint an entire kit unless I buy spray cans. oops long parenthetical again. we irritating) but I kinda see what she’s getting at. I’m definitely way more into the shield now than I was before I started watching her channel
sorry if this isn’t what the high grade thread is for!!! I haven’t built in a few days because I lost a BIG piece for my HG kimaris arm, and luckily I can still put the arm together but UNLUCKILY there’s gonna be a huge hole in the shoulder. I am putting off finishing the kit because maybe the piece will turn up!!! it’s not small!
I had it in my hand, got into a conversation, and when the convo was done I went back to building and the piece was gone. did I eat it???
I’ll post WIP here to at least motivate me to finish. I bet I can find some kind of pose where the eyes aren’t focused on his shoulder-hole
I’m not surprised that I gave the win to Qubeley, I am surprised that it had to compete with the Sword Strike after Sword beat out the Zeta A1. Gundam Seed may have been a waste of air, but they did nail the aesthetics of Gundam-like robot designs.
