is a MG GX really coming out, or was that a custom?

if it is, I MUST GET IT.

That's a custom model built from a preexisting MG frame (probably Strike).

From what i've read in the past few posts. Is there really another way to paint model kits instead of airbrushing? Airbrushes and the compressors really cost a fortune and I need to know whether there are other ways I can turn to to paint my model kits....

Some one mentioned:
-Use Surface Primer Spray Cans
-Use Tamiya Colour Spray Cans
...Is this really possible!?
If yes tell me! Coz the next time I buy a model I'm gonna paint it, I've never painted a model before and I'd love to try... the painted kit pics I've seen in this thread really got me drooling.

Uh, yes, it is.

Yeah, spray paints are the way to go if you're not gonna be using airbrushes. Also much easier to paint, IMO. Here be a link:http://www.dannychoo.com/blog_entry/...ling+Tutorial/

I started out painting gundams using spray cans and stuff. The same techniques such as weathering, dry brushing, decals, panel line washes, etc etc can all be applied as well and those don't need an airbrush. Airbrushing is for lazy people

Now that i look at it, it does look like freedom feet, i just built a MG freedom so yeah looks reeeal similar.

btw, PG Strike update, just need to paint both arms and legs. hopefully think about getting the aile pack soon too.

My request: Suggest to me a new colour scheme for Exia, using (if possible) the first Exia picture as a template. A dark colour theme would be preferred. And if you need more pics, PM me, and I'll get them. Thanks in advance
