My First Gundam (the making)

It's a long weekend. I had the time to build "my first gundam"


Here's my "semi-documented" step-by-step of how I built the gundam.

Prepare all the parts of the gundam.

 Ready for painting

I used my primer red ('coz this is only the primer I have) if I have a gray or white primer, I'd prefer those.

 Gundam from the junkyard

 

The masking. - my most hated part in painting!

Half body

Looking good in black

 Rusty helmet

My least favorite paint. Glossy white

See the details? :)

Patience.... it's not easy to dry even if the spray can says "quick drying"

Now the detailing part! This is an exciting part :)

These are the tools I used for detailing. (chocolate bar not included)

Thanks to my friend Lia (www.waterproofnotes.blogspot.com visit her blog) for the brush I used.

  

This is a very fine brush... see that tip? :)

Messy...

Wash paint using cotton buds with Tamiya thinner.

Done :)

Awesome...... :)

Yeah!

But not so perfect!

See that shield??? blame that @#@$# paint stripper! or blame me for the ignorance.....

Other than the ruined shield, everything went well.

This is my first Gundam :)
