Been back into model building for about a year now after loving it as a child. Built about 12 kits this year slowing trying to improve my airbrush skills.

This is my latest work. Been a long build and only at about the half way mark but what a crazy fun kit. Massive too.

Hope you enjoy the build pics. Still got a long way to go....

Only just seen this; I like it. The subtle weathering on the large tank contrasts with the finish on the off-white areas and decals really well.

I helped my son build a Gundam figure (Bandai) a few years back. Didn't paint it, but it was fun to build.

Thanks bud. Don't think anyone has seen the thread. Lol. Here's a wee update.

One of those figures would look good in contrasting shades of that metal paint you can polish, or even just Alclad maybe.

If you need to pick up your airbrush skills, then I need to go to beginners class - the gradual fading lots great.

You have had over 200 views of this thread, so keep it going.

I hadn't really looked at this thread till it was mentioned in the lepin thread.
Nice skill with the build. I wish I could get my airbrush skills to that level. tongue out

I've just restarted building sci-fi models after a long break from static modelling.

Since seeing your build I have had a look at a few kits and I am very tempted.
I really hope this isn't the start of another slippery slope rolleyes

Heard alot about this kit lately but haven't seen one in detail.
Building an older Zaku II currently as my first painted kit which takes 10 times longer than just building one normally im finding.

Those hoses around the head and waist look quite strange, guess they're new for this kit?
