For color, matte is better since it's better in darkness, and dark green and dark gray work better than black. Since this is just a collection, matte black is good for show, OTOH. Maybe use some pastels to finish the colorings as well? For dioramas, shops sell these small containers of 3 pastel-like colors for tanks, planes and such for more realism and less like a toy. |
@Sir Dearka 1st of all lol at Sara Jean Underwood 2ndly is that all stock stuff? I don't remember there being ZAFT on his wings and it looks really nice. Is it painted?
@JayCee I wanted personal pic's I know how to use google but u can't ask questions if I want to know if it was painted or w/e |

True that dark green and dark grey seems more natural as camo but I'm gonna stick to black. As for pastels I'm assuming you're talking about weathering. I'll have to decide how that's gonna work after finishing painting. But I'm sold on the opinion of it being matt finish. :) |

@JayCee - thanks for the tips. I am not a perfectionism and I tend to just use anything I have at hand hence my models are not exactly all clean and stuff ;) But I am happy with what they look like. Maybe a bit messy, but at least one can see a touch of "human" hand whilst still not consider it ototally ugly (I hope) :P :] |

Definately not ugly. But anyhow I guess at the end of the day as long as you the owner is happy with it. That's what matters :) As for that MG Sword Impulse I'm def getting one of those. Have plans to mod that one :D |
MG Sword Impulse looks hot If anything ill get the NG I want Force Impulse first I love the shield doesn't seem like Sword Impulse Shield is the same size
@Sir Dearka I liked ur force impulse looks nice I have yet to panel line my 00 or Astray Red although when I did Astrea Type F I panellined crazy and everything looks nice. I been so busy I haven't had time to take high res pics Whats top coat usually used for? And what happens if you don't use it? I know for myself I can agree im not a elitist when it comes to my kits but I heard someone use the term and I just wanted to get the info again I forgot >_< I think im gonna get RX-78 OYW and 0 Gundam when 0 Gundam Comes out |

Hope that helps |
cool thanks I didnt use top coat at all on my painted ones but I was thinking of trying it when I do my Mg Destiny. I brought some Chrome Silver Tamiya paint to paint the joints so I can make it look like the EBM version lol

Yea I sprayed my 00 and Red Astray I know the smells. I haven't done decals yet not to sure how to apply them and this Destiny is my first MG so hopefully I can figure out where to go any links? I posted some awhile back but just in case there is anything new hit me up.

Hey silly question, but would you guys consider panel-lining Trans-Am Gundams?

To add on JayCee's comments on the topcoat: Matt - Most modellers prefer using matt on their Gunpla. A matt finish removes the shiny plastic sheen on the models which makes them look artificial instead. Semi gloss - I'm not really a fan of semi-gloss. IMO, the effect it gives is almost the same as the models untouched, with that dumb plastic sheen. Full gloss - Full gloss is normally used by modellers who want to give their work a metallic finish. Hope that helps. =) |
Not sure if this has been posted before, but I would like to share something I posted on DC.com some time back.

Man, that O Gundam is REALLY tempting....but knowing that it'll go down so bad in the show hinders my buy.
