With thanks to Un1ver5e, I finally got around to finishing my MG Destiny extreme edition. I was never good at panel lining nor decal applying so don't want to try and mess it all up but first time at dry-sticker applying. Think it turned out alrite?

As mentioned before the decals turned out nice and neat but needs a matt coat finish to make it seem less toy-like with it's glossy sheen alongside some panel lining. Although you might want to clean up the nubs you left behind after cutting from the runner as it stands out like a sorethumb in some places. The black wing for example is the most obvious place and should really be sanded down to make it more neat. Apart from that, overall pretty good:) |
Are there some good youtube videos about applying dry-decals, water-decals, top coat, matt coat (I don't even know what that means) and sanding ? (this one is the least important but what the hell, I'm happy to learn from the pro's)

LOL to think you copied all the previous quotes. Maybe we should make a sticky for the most common gunplay questions that occur:p
|
You could try your luck with 4Tran :p
Heh, I can only speak for basic panel lining, sanding and coating. I haven't tried painting my gunpla since my first (and last) paint job on a Strike had 'unexpected' results, much less trying to airbrush. |

I remember when I had my first accident. I freaked out. Had to use paint stripper and start from scratch again :D. Funny thing is I haven't airbrushed anything as of yet because I can't afford to buy a compressor and I'm anal about using cans of air for airbrushing work as pressure isn't consistent and really screws up your work. Right now though I'm losing motivation and ideas while waiting for the bits and bobs to come by post for scratch building my new project. |
Erm...let's just leave it that the white Strike ended up with fingerprints of red and blue. Details are unfortunately too painful to recall. =(
Haha yeah, I totally understand that lack of motivation. My last 2 projects (1/144 Celestial Gundam,1/100 Virtue Armour Purge) were because I wanted to try something new, I wouldn't have built them otherwise. The process is supposed to be more fun than the outsome (it was with my MGs), but for my mods, it was actually more fun playing around with the parts after I complete the individual pieces. |
Heh..my gunpla domain... The pics are dark sorry,huhu..forgot to switch the flash.....:p

thanks for all the quoting, Un1verse. But the only thing I didn't know what it was is "matt coat", the other stuff was clear to me. Anyway, I've read it all cause like I said, I'm happy to learn. I've yet to paint my 1st MG, so naturally I want to gather as much info as I can.
I'll try the youtube video that Jaycee posted. GOOD videos are interesting because not only I get to know how to do stuff properly, but also catch a glimpse on a modeller's style and see which order do they follow (i.e, decals/matt coat, stuff like that) |

I found this vid on youtube awhile back he uses really simple yet highly effective gunpla building tech. For those people who dont know what a primer is or what air brush is this might help a bit.

Pretty nice videos, now I wish some of the well-known english reviewers would do something like a "Let's Build" that isn't as detailed as this, but gets to feature some interesting stuff (hiding seamlines, priming, and again, how to apply different types of decals)...these videos were really good and graphic, but I always learn more if I can understand the language of the instructions and comments (and english isn't even my main language) BTW Jackyng222, loved your Kamille and Char |

WOW, nice gold frame. It looks awesome, what grade is that?

And I believe the base is from Gundam Mk-II MG (might be wrong). It does look much better with the Amatu though. I always found it looks strange with the MkII ^^; |

Just to confirm MK II MG does not have a base kit. Base kits usually have to be bought seperately as shown by the Kotobukiya Mechanical Chain Base sets. As far as I know no gunplay kits do have bases included in the kits. Only display stands are usually included in the kits. But feel free to correct me :p

the hangar in which that Gold frame resides, which kit came with it? |
It's slightly bigger than 1/144, according to one pic of it combined with GN Arms

However the earlier version of MK II does have a launch pad if I recall correctly. |
