The Hind End of Space

sophiesgunpla:

I’ve been meaning to paint this kit for a while, so I figured it was time to make an HGUC RGM-79SP GM Sniper II, Lydo Wolf Custom to replace the old one I did with conversion parts. You can see them side by side in the bottom pic. It’s like night and day.

I didn’t do much in the way of modding. I just replaced the head antenna with one from the Builders Parts HD set. It’s much more detailed and just looks better. The decals came from a variety of sources, mostly from the custom sheet SamuelDecal made for my original one.

That’s all for the kits I filmed last spring. More will be coming soon!

Much like the GM Blue Destiny, this HGUC MS-14JG Gelgoog Jaeger has been sitting on my shelf awaiting paint since 2008. I didn’t want to go with the regular not-Char colors, so I used the color scheme seen in that one SD Gundam special where they travel into the “real” Gundam world. I also threw on some decals assigning this unit to the Chimera Corps.

I figured an HGUC RX-75 Guntank would be a great kit to do some weathering practice on. There’s not too much to say here, just lots of silver paint scratches, weathering dust, and black washes. I think it came out pretty well. I gave it a bunch of decals to make it a unit for the Earth Federation Army, not the White Base. My version of the White Base MS complement is going to be a bit different… ;)

I’ve had this HGUC MSM-04G Juaggu kit dry-built for years, but I never decided on a color scheme. After a quick Google search for inspiration, I found someone who chose to color theirs like a Zogok, and bam, it was decided. This little guy is pretty cute, and the articulated snout is probably my favorite part of it. I think I need to refine the weathering a bit more, what with it being an amphibious suit and all. If I recall, this is my first fully-painted amphibious suit in my collection since I “rebooted” my Gunpla shelves back in 2008. How ‘bout that.

Hokay, time to finally upload some of the pics I took last year…

Here’s Ramba Ral’s MS-09 Dom from Gihren’s Greed, made from the HGUC Dom, Specifically, one from the Jet Stream Attack set. A pretty simple build, with decals from one of the HGUC sets and Ramba’s personal emblem that @asheblitzen supplied for me. I did some weathering on this, mostly just some tan drybrushing on the edges and a light black wash. I didn’t want to make it SUPER weathered since I wanted to make it clear that this suit was pretty new.

Unit: MSN-00100A Hyaku Shiki Aurelius
Scale: 1/144 scale High Grade Build Fighters
Series: Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeta Wars

The last kit from the current bunch is the Hyaku Shiki Aurelius, Quattro’s endgame suit for Zeta Wars. This is basically just a Mega Shiki with the Delta’s head (extra in the kit) and the backpack from the EZ-Arms set. I can’t take full credit for the latter, since I was inspired by a work from Model Arena. The pegs on the backpack had to me removed and drilled out to accommodate the ball joint/pegs for the binders. The name was suggested to me by kampfer-amazing, who originally went with “Aurelia”, but I felt that sounded too feminine for a guy named Four Vaginas. :P
