Nah, Im definately still a noob. I take great care to cover my noob mistakes in my pictures, lol.
As far as my next gundam goes Ive decided im sticking with MG. I just dont want to have different scales or quality levels being displayed next to each other. I think it would make all of them look worse. I was looking on dalong.net, the guy who does the buildups of every gundam, and Im leaning toward the MG zaku II ver2.0. That thing looks like it is superbly engineered, especially compared to the kit I just built, which is a pain to get a decent looking pose out of.
Id love to see some photos of your finished gundams/mechs.
I also thought id post some new pics of my build.
I threw that shield/gun thing together from the GI Joe gun barrel and a piece from the kit. I didn't like that big ugly thing on his arm so I changed it up. Im not done tweaking it yet that is why the barrel is a little crooked and I may change up the decals.
I think this build should look decent once I get that matte finish on there. Oh, and you can see how this waist filled out a little.
