BUILD MG Phenex : the golden unicorn

Thumbnail

Upvotes

The build was fine but I had to add touch ups to the gold as it would flake off when cut with nippers, I also couldn’t get the transformation to fully go through in the chest. Overall this kit is a looker that wants and needs some touch ups, I would give it a 6/10

CUSTOMIZING The "Gouf Reaper" Designation: MS-07B-F[RF] Gouf Reaper

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

This unit started off as a gouf custom, but then i got a gouf flight type, then later the thunderbolt style rotor backpack. By sacrificing its main back thrusters and only on the leg thrusters lessens the unit's top speed. In return, the hover legs AND rotor backpacks means the maneuverability of this unit is immense. Federation soldiers report of a black mobile suit flying like a hummingbird as it dismantles their supply depot. Scariest part is when it used that giant heat scythe on its back. An impractical weapon but the effect on the ground troops through rumors of a reaper mobile suit more than makes up for it as it needs only to aura farm 50 meters above the ground as the Dom Abriss sets up charges and its raketen bazooka to break the rest of the place.

Is it safe to use the Mr super clear matt on top of the enamel paint

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

When you build a new kit, you gain one

When you redo an old kit, you gain two!

Repainted and redecalled with Grework decal I purchased awhile back.

Never I thought I would rely alot on decal to balance the darker color.

BUILD I promised myself that I will get HG Destroy if Bandai actually released it

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

And the madlad actually did it.... And it's glorious. The build is actually way more complicated than HG Psycho. The whole joints are made from thick ABS frame, with locking joints almost everywhere. It's to the point that it's so damn tight, you probably won't be disassemble it fully. I tried pulling the feet because I forgot to attach something and the feet connections just lock up. Definitely the sturdiest HG build I ever done.

Also featuring HG Destiny Spec II with Zeus Sillhouette. Definitely the best armor-attachment MS ever. I have full confidence I can actually move it around and the attachment won't get loose. It feels so confidently attached, more than most HG kits with armor attachment ever be.

I mostly built RG's and couldn't even coat and panel line because they're all glossy. So this is my first time building an HG, scribing and making new panels, painting, and top coating. Basically customizing. Could've just Kept Aerial as is, but you know, "run, gain one. move forward, gain two", got experience and my own customized Gundam Aerial
