Action Figure ChatterI, uh, "accidentally" ordered a bunch of Gundam 1/144th model kits because they were cheap and cool looking. Ive built 3 of them so far, and while theyre nice as is, I do want to go the extra step and detail one.
Any of you in Los Angeles want to hang out for a few hours and school me on how to make these things pretty? Or should I say weathered and ugly? lol
It's kinda hot to be working on stuff inside, but we can work in your garage or something. I can buy pizza or give you fodder as thanks or whatever, let me know
Also, what other kind of mech kits are out there besides Gundams? I'm also into sci-fi planes
Please wait...

And in the instructions the weathering was not recommended, but me being a customiser I did get some silver panini and drybrushed the black parts and gave some areas a little battle damage, if you look at my profile pic, that's the Gundam, and if you notice his gun was subject to dry rushing by me.
So no panel lines, but weathering.
And it's recommended you use clippers of an exacto knife to cut the nubs off
Good luck
The swords are metal! So awesome!
Getting rid of all the nubs where the parts connected to the sprue tree is driving me crazy lol
