Gunpla!
I've been trying to get back into gunpla recently. Stocking up on tools and paints is all a part of the process!
Last week I built the 1/144 HG Beginning D Gundam. Painting HG kits is a bit of a chore, so many details left out, and the pieces are so small it's hard to not paint over the wrong parts, even with tape. Well, let's just say it didn't turn out too badly. I'm not a big fan of HGs, but my uncle bought me this one from Japan. I need to buy some white and red paint too. I just ordered a pot of cobalt blue for my 00 Seven Sword, might buy some sky blue to mix too. The original colour is a bit too dark.
I also repainted the frame of my MG Mk.II, but ended up breaking a bit of it (cries) but now it looks much better. Inner frame used to be purple, which was idiocy on my part. Ignore ignore. Ah, I need to improve on my decals! I messed up my Mk.II ones ages ago, so I need some others to practice on. I'm afraid of messing it up on my Seven Sword. urk. Well, I shall just have to give it a go. I will build it after the MG AGE-2, which should arrive sometime next week! I'm really looking forward to it- AGE kits are so nice. Then I plan to buy the Wing. KA, so hopefully I shall be building that in two/three weeks time.
