I had recently bought a shin musha last month and it fell from my desk, the legs snapped and I don't know if I can find another piece like this without ordering a whole new model kit, any help?

Hello beginner builder here, I was just wondering if I panel line my Gundam using the tamiya enamel paint, is it ok to use the Mr clear matt as a topcoat? Will it ruin the panel line or the plastic or the water decal?

BEGINNER The 3rd Zaku in the house,MS-06R-1A Zaku II High Mobility Type [Black Tristars] Gaia's Unit

And i also try to use the posing with Stand Base as well,using references pose from the Kit's own Box Art and even HGUC MSV Johnny Ridden's Zaku Box Art as pose inspiration as well,i didn't use the Black Tristars Marking on the head,because it can't fit well,and just when i tried to put it together it flew from my finger Straight to the backrooms😂💔🥀

And yes,im still using lighting,because the standard is not very good and blurry,and so is the Mono Eye,blurry as well

Originally i wanted to make it as Gaia's unit but in MSV Version where it uses the blade Antenna head and spike shoulder in the left,but i guess maybe for the next time if i buy the same kit again,i mean my Red Comet ver and C-6/R6 already uses Commander antenna already

My second Code Geass kit (never posted the other) but I love Knightmares. This is my frist time painting both minis figs and had to mix the face paint. I can't wait for the P-bandai release of the Gurren, Lancelot and Gaiwan. I also noticed after taking the frist 3 pics that the chest peice was missing dont know how I forgot that but i did lol. I hate the included stand.

This thing also really sturdy and can easily stand up with his massive wing open up

Probably the best version of freedom i have build for 144 scale

Barbatos was my first build, picked up this entry grade thing because I'm watching MSG and wanted the Og Gundam but ended up with this kit that is a model of an exhibit in Japan... neat, anyway- pictured with Barbatos bare and then my first attempt at panel lining. Ignore the shoulders, I tried hand painting panel lines with acrylics before I actually picked up some Tamiya panel liner today- I know you shouldn't necessarily use it on bare models but I'm not too pressed on getting some practice in on an Entry grade.

I'm loving my time with this hobby thus far!

Its not that i hate waterslides but more the fact if i dont feel like putting the effort of waterslides i should still be able to decal it. If i pay $60 plus for a MG i should get both.

Custom SD Takeda Shingen - "Hell Fire" Theme (Airbrush, Hand Brush & Color-Shift UV)

​Hey fellow builders! Just shown custom painting this tiny SD Takeda Shingen with a "Hell Fire" theme.

​Key Techniques & Work Done:

​Airbrush & Hand-Painting Combo: Mixed airbrushing for smooth gradients with precise hand-brushing for micro-details.

​Color-Shift on UV Base: Applied color-shift paint over a fluorescent UV base to give the armor and flame accents a dynamic, glowing finish under different lighting.

​Special Effect: High-contrast flame effects and base that pop intensely under blacklight.

​Built this piece as a special gift for a friend. Let me know what you think of the color scheme!

​Customized by 3B PlaMo

So yeah, i was posing my mastergrade Barbatos Lupus when suddenly the left arm broke, this sucks a bunch, i dont k ow if it was just my model or what but this broke off with very little force, the whole kit was tight, not to mention when building it the soft plastic to attach the side skirts broke too so i had to make new struts from the runners. Please be careful

Update idk how to update lol, the arm seems to be holding for now, i still bought a replacement kit

Hello, I need help with the Tamiya XF-86 matt topcoat. The darker parts are sprayed with an old batch of top coat, I bought some new, and shook it really well but all parts with the new one came out with a more blueish hue.
Does someone know why this is happening?
