Real Grade Zeong – Gundam Base Limited Clear

Well fuck, I guess I haven’t really painted anything in the better part of two years. The one kit I did paint in 2023 was this, the RG Zeong with the Gundam Base Limited clear colour armor.

In the grand scheme of things this is a pretty basic build. Gun Metal across everything, then various details made of gold, silver, and copper. I also used some third party effect pieces, as the Last Shooting official set is incredibly expensive. The pieces themselves had to be sanded quite a bit to get rid of the mold seams and were then painted including an orange clear wash to add some depth. Oh, and I forgot, I also added a bunch of metal effect pieces ’cause why not. read more

Hellebore Strike – Custom Armament Project – WIP 01 – It Begins

Generally, I’m not one to buy 1/144 scale kits. However I’ve had a project floating around in my head for a long time and the Real Grade Strike seemed to fit the bill. It’s the perfect scale and I love the Strike Gundam’s design. Plus it would give me an excuse to pick up and mess around with a RG level kit.

But wait, perfect scale for what you might ask? Well a kit bash with my ancient 1/550 scale Dendrobium of course! I’ve had one sitting around for over a decade, back from the days before I knew better and ripped pieces from the runners. When I pulled it apart I realized how great the cannon was and that it would look great by itself. Slowly the idea developed into a full scale kit bash. My first kit bash actually. And thus far, things are going great. read more
