McGundam

Saw this on the internet a few days ago and I thought it was rather interesting. Maybe I'll do the same for one ofmy kits

SD Freedom W.I.P

Here's what I've done to the SD Freedom Gundam so far




Used some tape to cover the areas so I won't go over it with paints


Looks a little unprofessional but hey, it's my 1st time.



This is the end result. Not too bad for a 1st timer.

What I have.....

Alright guys, in this post I'm gonna show you what kind of tools and paints that I'll be using to get started on my Gundam kits


Here's the full picture of all the things I've acquired

From Left to Rght: Mr. Super clear gloss coat, Mr Surfacer 1200, Coarse compound, Fine compound, Finish compound & Tape for covering parts that do no need painting. Metal dish for mixing colours and 28pcs crocodile clip.
From Left to Right: Scribbing tool, Cutter, Hobby knife, brushes in various sizes, stirrer and pipette.

Top row from Left to Right: Gaia cobalt blue, Gaia primary yellow, Gaia silver & Mr. Hobby gold.
Markers: Gold, silver & panel lining marker.

I've started work on the SD Freedom Gundam today. What I did was to remove all the parts from the tree and sanding down all the ends to make it smooth, after that i wet-sand all the pieces with a 1000 grit sand paper and finally wash them with soapy water. Right now they're sitting in the room to dry. Hopefully tonight i can start to decide how to go about painting them.

That's all the updates for now.

I've kinda started on the strike but I'll need to get more stuffs from H.A.G before i could finish it.
So stay tuned or further updates
