Doing Something For Wing. Starting My Custom Decals. Wing Had The Insignia In White But I Need It In

Doing something for wing. Starting my custom decals. Wing had the insignia in white but I need it in grey to match the others as you’ll see below.

Heavyarms build pt. 2

I haven’t touched this thing in a week due to the flu. Finally did the leg packs. Still waiting on the Micromesh I ordered so I can finally paint the gold titanium.

Painted the tank and going to do the ammo chain in beige too, the Gatling gun will be interesting

Finally matched the orange, Gatling gun is coming along nicely :)

Finally got all the stuff in for the gold titanium starting to throw that on.

Have to redo one part but otherwise gonna throw some decals on and it should be good

Heavyarms pt. 1 Incase you were ever wondering how I color match. I’d assume “the hard way” would be the best answer. This is a new t

Heavyarms build Pt. 1

Saying bye bye to the red but I love the orange I made. So many undertones and adding the clear red to it has such a neat effect.

I was a bit skeptical while painting the limbs but once I put it on with the orange I was so happy! It’s exactly how I wanted it. :} ❤️❤️

The packs on the bottom left are the original color.

The picture doesn’t really do it justice, it’s more of a beige with a hint of green. Maybe when I take “professional” looking photos it will show or when I put it next to the other gundams.

Waiting on some more supplies and paints so this is as far as I can go until I get them in. So I’ll do the decals while I’m waiting. I’m really happy with the results and it’s turning out exactly how I planned it.

Did half the decals and set it in the cabinet with the others for color comparison. Also so our kitty doesn’t get to it. I’m pleased with it.

Swapped hands with my wing gundam. That kit has a lot of issues but I wanted the open hands for wing. Also, painted the chest Gatling guns in alclad 2 gunmetal.

Picked up alclad 2 “white aluminum” to do the pods. Decided to mount all the pod hatches since they don’t need the covers to be on the model.

This fixes the problem I’ve had with this story since I was a kid.

We had to write a Mini Comic for my Illustration Class so I did mine based on The Frog and The Scorpion. Hopefully you all know the story! 

But if you don’t know the story… In the original the scorpion stings the frog in the middle of the river. When the frog asks “why” the scorpion says “it’s in my nature” and they both die. I like my ending more.

Done with watercolor and pen and ink nib.

Since I’ve been working on a new deathscythe I thought I’d give a bit of a call back to the first gundam I have ever painted and take new photos. I was so new to this and extremely impatient. Lots of silvering on the decals, nibs that weren’t properly sanded down, paint defects. I destroyed a few decals and used some of the transfer decals for some parts. I really had no idea what I was doing. I’m still learning but I have learned so much since then. Most of all I’ve learned to take my time. Painting these gundams is a therapy to me. It’s one of my many anchors, so I just wanna thank all of you who compliment or show interest in these as I’m doing them ❤️❤️❤️
