Camo gundam DONE

camo on Gundams is fun. I took photocopy line drawings of my Kempfer and made all sorts of drawings and sketches to figure out what I wanted. In the end it turned out to be all gloss white. Looked like a Patlabor when I got done with it!

My very first gundam was the Serpent Custom HG and I did it in grey/tan custom paint and used a tecnical pen to make thousands of dots in designs over the entire surface.  Took a while but it looked good!

My next will be Zakus with tan/ dark yellow camo.

That looks pretty good. I've used silly putty as a mask before, but not for camo. The demarcation lines look good and sharp, I may have to try it out.

What specific gundam is this? I like the design of it.

Thanks man it's the F 91 RGM-109 gundam I also have a f 91 gun cannon I am doing in the same paint to make it look like a recon team.

That explains it. I like the F-91 designs. I've been thinking of building a HardyGun for a while now. Any build tips?

The only real tip is to just make sure you get the seam lines real good they were pretty bad on the 2 I have from the F 91. But other then that the werre realy no probs.

here is a little info I scrounged up for ya from mahq.net.

Performance: maximum thruster acceleration 3.50 G
Equipment and design features: sensors, range unknown; weapon mount, used to carry beam rifle, located on rear skirt armor plate

Technical and Historical Notes

While the Strategic Naval Research Institute was proceeding with its "Formula Project" to develop smaller, more efficient and high-performance mobile suits for the Earth Federation Forces, civilian contractor Anaheim Electronics was also hard at work on its own smaller, next-generation mobile suit. Their first successful result in this venture was the RGM-109 Heavygun, a mass-produced general purpose unit intended to replace the aging RGM-89J Jegan Normal Type. Despite its small size and the fact that its reactor output wasn't much greater than the old Jegan Normal Type, the Heavygun was faster and more maneuverable, and it was still just as capable of using beam weapons as its larger predecessors. The Heavygun would prove itself to be a popular machine, and it would remain in the service of the Federation Forces for many years, with some units even making their way into civilian and local colony militia forces.

Very nice info. I see your in the marines how do you like it? How long you been in? just wondering cuz I am thinking os join the service

Just a little up date got some weathering done and some battle damage done. I also put a decal from a gundam decal set on his left shoulder I thought was a cool one for like a recon team. C&C welcome

Almost done with it all I have left is the thruster here are some pics

Well here are the final pics of it done

well, dont apologise. You are here to learn, and this is a good enviroment (compared to some others)

When doing gundams, seams are always an issue.  Always prime before you paint, to see if you missed a seam.  Very VERY diligent with them, you will master it.
