Grunt MS Group Build – Purple Nemo WIP 2

This is a participating project in GAF’s Grunt MS Group Build

 

Been awhile since I updated with any progress on this kit. Things have been sorta slow going. Partly due to the demands of work and partly due to the difficulty getting parts the proper color. Priming to white is a lot more difficult than I thought it would.

 

Anyhow, some photos. Starting with the purple bits…

 

 

It’s come out a lot darker than I would have liked, but I’m not going to fret over that. In addition I’ve got a decent amount of orange peel going due to the glossy top coats. I’m just horrible when it comes to gloss. read more

The MG O has long been awaited by many since Bandai first showcased it years ago. Shortly after its announcement, for reasons unknown to me, it disappeared and Bandai never followed through with its release. Now, following a 2nd place victory in Bandai’s MG Wishlist survey they have reconsidered that decision.

When the release of the MG O was announced I was excited. I love large, imposing kits like this one and I have the perfect spot on my shelf for it. After some shipping issues delayed progress I was shocked to find such a huge box waiting for me. It’s ame size as a PG kit and smaller than the 1/48 Gundam. Despite it’s size the number of pieces is pretty standard for a MG kit and the whole thing is a pretty easy build. read more
