Does anyone have some gunpla they’ve put together recently, or that they’re working on?
Here’s an old RS-178 MKII PG kit I assembled recently. Still deciding how I want to detail him, but as my first PG the level of detail and articulation is really cool.
I just got back into gunpla after like 9 years not building, here’s the HG Aerial I finished a while back. First time airbrushing, was super impressed by the color separation which made it pretty easy to paint.
Also made some trails for the gund bits out of washi tape and wire, might upgrade to those 3D printed ones eventually.
Wow, those colors look fantastic. I’ve been debating on getting an airbrushing setup, have any reccomendations?
My HG Aerial is in the mail and I can only hope it comes out looking half this nice.
I’ve been using an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS for about a year now and I’m very happy with it. It’s a good choice if you have the budget and only want one airbrush, since you can swap the included .35mm needle+nozzle out with a .5mm set to do things like prime. I use a master airbrush TC-326T compressor, which has been good. It has a regulator with water trap, and that water trap has been good enough for my dry climate. My paint booth is just homemade with a bathroom fan and furnace filter, gets the job done. For respirator, I just grabbed one intended for painting from Home Depot.
And I might as well include an image of my latest finished project, just for fun 😊.
