One Year War GB 2011-2012 !Extended time! 30sept 2012

yess what else? modelling fans ..

you get the flight gouf? this sounds good dupes but expect some extra work to make it looks good

waiting for wipsss

A ki-27 and a gannet is about to leave my workbench... the gouf need some extra space !!

Modeling, right? Modeling is the hobby that gets you fans?

Final fall show next weekend for me - after that I have 6 months of uninhibited building time (coupled with a lot of snow shoveling). Will get back to you about what I'm building...leaning more towards that M61A5 all the time!

The Gouf Flight Type is also calling my name. Heh.

the guitar break sounds goog mine is actually in the case both are great hobbies, but only with one of them you can get fans

Chances are I'll get my modeling spark  back pretty quickly. Just ready for a break from the bench time to crank up the guitar Just wanted to give you some for warning if ends up I don't finish the RX-78, I really hate to leave people hanging. 

no good sound Grey theres again 5 month to build it. If you change mind here we are

Nice work on the Zaku Tetsujin looking good!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to withdraw the RX-79G from the group build.. I've hit a modeling slump right now and working really weird hours isn't helping me much either

Nice news on the zaku Tetsujin he's become like an hguc

Better-looking, though.  :)  Well, except for the arms...  I'll have to see what I can do about that.

smeagol the vile

I am being lazy and procrastinating on my build.

 

that is all

That's pretty ambitious Tetsujin. Good stuff.

DR updated list for dioramed gelgoog

Finally, some progress on my build...

I have a plan for a diorama for the Gelgoog,  he will probably be at ease. since the pilot will be out side of the mobile suit. More on that later. ;)

I havent painted a very small scale figure in ages and dont know where to begin, so keep putting it off.  :P

Im not sure what you are asking... Are you asking if hairspray will decay under the paint over time? causing all the top layers of paint to fall off?  I dont really know, but i doubt it.

As for Future. I use that all the time for decals, works great. But i always put a flat coat on top of the future. /shrug

yes, i mean this for the hairspray, this tecnique is relatively new i hope you're (and other who use it) right.

What planning for the pose? need to find me too a solution for my equal gelgoog

I read a lot about this tecniques The result is really great but i fear about that; the main thing is to spay a good layer of hairspray ... then no risk the hairspay decadence during years? if they gone i fear all the layers on top will go out, i'm wrong to think that? As the same i never used and never search for future coat, i don't trust this non specific varnish during years will be the same as a normal enamel coat (i'm too old to change mind?)

I tried the salt technique. (which i didnt get pics of due to dead camera) I prepped all the pieces and gave it a primer of silver. Coated the silver with a flat acrylic (im not sure if that was necessary) then gave it a heavy coat of hair spray.

After it dried, i wet down the areas i wanted chipped/weathered with water and salted those areas. I just used a paintbrush, got it wet, dipped it in salt and dabbed it to the area. Once it dries it pretty much stays where you put it.

With the salt still on the plastic i painted the parts insignia red and flat black. I didnt have any problems with the black. After the paint dried and i started to chip off the salt, if the salt was not thick enough, the silver under the salt turned pink. Thats were my plan went awry.

I used Vallejo pigments (powders) brushed into the silver to get the look it has now. I had to go pretty dark to hide the pink tones where it should have been more silver. What you cannot see are the yellows, oranges, greens that are mixed with the black in certain nooks and crannies. I'll go back and do those parts again.

He does not want to stay in any position i put him in. He either leans forward or falls backward.

..

i says about  

Out of the repulsion to keep the position the gelgoog looks really great how was the weathering process?

Waiting for final pictures

DrShrinker - don't know what look you were going for, but the one you GOT was pretty awesome!

Mind filling us in on what techniques you used for all of the chipping? Or even what it was you were trying to do?

That Gelgoog looks so cool! Really like the paint work and the weathering on it. Mr. Gelgoog looks like he means business. 

The camera is recharged and back in action.

He does not want to stay in any position i put him in. He either leans forward or falls backward.

I thought i had started a rifle for him before i had moved and since lost it, but i was going through the instruction sheet again and it appears he doesnt come with a rifle or a shield. No biggy.

Still more to do but much further than the last post. I tried something new and didnt really get the look i was going for, but live and learn.

good gouf progress on gouf badlanguage despite the few work time, i think when i built it did a record for me: finished in the same day (one of few cases i used acrylics)

Have fun no sleep time with your daughter  

Try the share button on the above picture bar in flickr, so you should have the preview here

Dupes this really sounds good some picture of the (i presume) enormous box contents?

add to the GB list?

Uh-oh...I cracked into that Bandai M61A5 - it's REAAAAAALY tempting to crack into - looks superb.

Here are some pics of the Gouf. I'm almost there, I need some more paint on the shield and then some weathering and decals, and we'll see what happens. I think I've made just about every mistake possible on this thing so far! I'm blaming it on my 3 month old daughter and the fact that I don't sleep anymore and have to work on the thing 5 minutes at a time!

Hmmmmm...you're tempting me, man. Massive double barrel tank would look pretty neat on the shelf!

Yes is really count tell me when i must update the list

I am back people!!  From China that is.  Got married and scored two RG kits, RX-78 and Char's Zaku.  Anyways, I gotta really pick up the pace on the Ground Type build.  It's still in pieces right now.  Been busy with other builds for IPMS stuff.  

I DID manage to round up a Bandai EFGF M61A5...why, would that count?

Think I want to build a suit, anyway, but just curious.

Dr make some test on the knees, mine was stand up without the giant shield and after a year (or two) he decided to sit down, fortunately the kit is just snappend and i've no pain .

Nice stencil sheet  Real , also i used some aircraft stencil to cover some ms

Badlanguage waiting for some picture i think this kit is one of best between older kits.

Dupes waiting for your first mobile suit build some news about the 1/35 gunpla tank? agai not get one?

I'm triyng to finish my gannet for my first gb  involved, so i can start the serious gouf
