Finally got outside to take some pics before the light started to dim.
Finished off using a dark grey Gundam Marker (GM38), grey artist brush pen(with lots of pigment in the ink), black 0.05 pigment pen and flat matt plastic varnish, or more commonly to gunpla makers, topcoat. Of course the dry transfers too, applied before the topcoat was, thougth that’d be best.
I love how clean the dry transfers came off onto the plastic.
In the outside light, you can’t see the ink in between the panels etc very well. Shame. And some more pics, from inside, take yesterday I guess, can’t really remember lol. Only bad thing bout outdoors is it makes figures look shinier than they are normally inside.

Heh nice work! ^^ Love how the red turns out after the flat coat and the grey panel lines. Btw how many coat did you do? I usually coat about twice, should reduce the shine when its outdoors. Got to love the dry transfers, I find them much easier to use then the wet transfers and stickers.

I used 2 coats, maybe 3 on some pieces.
And yussss sooo much easier to use. And they look way better than stickers.

Holy fucking shit, I’m going to have to start asking you for tips on gunplas now 😛
…and also more pictures of Gelgoog riding on cats 😛

lol
I will try my best to get more pics of robots riding cats before I go back to uni.
Would stuffed animals suffice if not?

Stuffed animals are an acceptable substitute, but nothing beats live cats >=D

I have seen your new photos of cat riding figures.
Let it be known that you are now officially my favourite person ever.
Also, can we have cat-riders jousting next? =P

If I could get both cats in the same place, facing each other and sitting still, I would lol.
September 12, 2009 at 9:05 pm |
It looks really good. I’ll be asking you for pointers when I start building my gunplas. 🙂

Great thing about Gunplas is the feeling of accomplishment you get after finishing one. Unlike figures you just unpack out of the box and voila! And frequently I don’t even get that far lol

I think I should start doing Gundam kits too.

It’s a matter of time, Meimi, before you’re struck with Advanced Modellers’ Syndrome.
