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.

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

Still a work in progress. I haven’t been spending time on any gundams, kinda burnt out. Technically sandrock isn’t done either cause have to make custom decals on the shotels. Heavyarms still has a bit of work but It’s slowly coming along.
Anyway these are probably my favorite builds so far. Made my own custom colors and did a unique color shading thing that I like.

I shouldn’t be allowed to make videos on my phone 😂
Esentially my gundam wing project. Wing gundams blue has changed since.
Finishing up Heavyarms by the weekend. Doing the final painting and decals on the weapons still deciding on how to paint the Gatling gun. Should definitely be done by Saturday
As posted on my IG. The Gatling gun is done. All I need to finish is the tank and some decals.. I took a test shot of Heavyarms before I repainted that shoulder pod cover to see how it looks
I can’t believe I’m done. But!! Lots of photos to take and they’re too big for my construction paper method.... might have to buy a backdrop 🤦🏼♂️
Lots of photos to come (individually and group) as well as some videos which I may upload to YouTube. But until then going to get some Heavyarms photos done and starting next weekend I’m going on vacation! :D
I’m gonna try something. So with this you’re supposed to have your phone about 7-10 inches from your face, adjust accordingly til you see it. So you’re supposed to gently cross your eyes until the two images merge you’ll see 3 images, focus on the one in the middle.
Video coming soon.
Also that second shot won’t be in the video exactly like that, this is just a test shot for lighting purposes. There will be a white backdrop

Heavyarms
This gundam was a learning process. I learned how to use Alclad II High Shines and Aqua Gloss properly. Made my own custom colors, forgot the formula for the orange so had to try and match the Gatling gun and tank to the body orange.
This is another gundam that gives me a great feeling of accomplishment. Making my own colors and executing the paint job how I envisioned. This was how I originally intended to post my other gundams. More dynamic poses and lighting but I didn’t have all the tools. I will be re taking photos of the others to match this style and delete the previous posts. So look forward to more posts like this.
Gunpla builds in my IG stories.
I know I posted a bunch of my build progress on here but I felt it’s a bit to scroll through to find them so I figured id post links to my IG stories in order to show my builds from first to last, so you can see my progress as a builder. I literally learned how to airbrush on these. So here we go!
Got lots of the colors for igel done. Finally finished the tracks today. Gonna start building the frame and such. Soon.
I moved my deltofs around now the light comes in and lights up the highshines on Heavyarms and wing at a certain time of day.
