Well we are almost there lads just needs a final inspection, a bit more spot weathering, maybe more decals and then a final flat topcoat.

Presenting the RGM-96Xs-D Jesta Shezarr - Desert Type (Unit 08).

For context:

I entered this competition with a personal challenge: at least place in the top 3 using a budget friendly, 100% hand-painted build done entirely with markers. Since kicking this off at the end of February, it’s been three months of painstaking marker work, but this mofo is finally almost done.

To be honest, painting an ENTIRE kit with markers was brutal. If it weren't for the self-imposed challenge, I gladly would have taken the easy route with spray cans! But despite the struggle, there’s still something incredibly rewarding about hand-painting a kit from start to finish. Nearly there!

*used Vallejo's model wash black and brown in order to weather it.

Yeah definitely got some learning to do 😅

What’s next na magandang idagdag dito?

I had to... Pffffftt *cackles* it was right there. *Wheezes* if only i had a smaller towel.

After building the Calibarn yesterday, I got the HG Schwarzette, and built it today (nakahanap ng nagbebenta na taga malapit), and I gotta say, the aura is strong on this kit... The "buster sword"-like configuration of the Guardian weapon unit looks cool, but the Saber + One-Winged mode just looks cooler and more badass for me - it's giving me both Sephiroth and Vergil (from DMC) vibes... Man, WfM kits are so great...!

For once, I got lazy to pose it around as it feels flimsy to move around and missing parts for the Mega Launcher 🤦

Still happy with the outcome tho~

Matte topcoat, added decals (recycled some from previous kits)

Painted details (especially the stripes) with:

-Doloha Markers

-HiRo Paints (drybrushing)

Editted using:

-Ibispaint (for the eyes)

-Photoroom

-Lightroom

Kakatamad pala mag airbrush, pero parang nakakaadik hehe, ang tagal lang ng curing bago pwede galawin, sa mga matagal na nag airbrush, gano katagal patuyuin ang water based acrylic bago pwede mag masking? Ano yung psi pag nag preshading? Thanks

Almost forgot how big 1/100 scales are compared to my usual 1/144 scales. It's been i guess around 15 years since i last built an MG? Also i figured I'd try building it with the frame first and then the armor. The piston movements are so satisfying.

My first HG Kit (not sure if 30MM ACVI kits count as HG) and I'm really surprised with how pretty this kit is, despite being all-white... The combination of clear plastic parts + the iridescent effect of foil stickers for the shell unit, especially when they catch light is really something, even though hindi talaga ako fan ng stickers, but it's worth investing some time to put them on... Di ko na nilagyan ng panel line (skill issue, sorry na... 😅), but she's perfect as is... Simple, solid and stunning build OOB... I think I need to get my hands on the Schwarzette...

Last recent build from Fukuoka haul. Tinatamad pa magWSD dahil walang pang top coat. Hahaha

I have an MG Vidar that my Sister-in-Law bought me for my graduation gift but i haven't really gotten around to building it yet. Probably around this week if I'm not too busy. I really look forward to building it, but also kinda scared because I've heard IBO kits tend to have certain issues. Which is what my zagan is showing being unable to raise its claws now. The reviews I've seen online are quite positive with the only issue being the verniers on the legs having a 50/50 possibility of popping off or staying in place. But oh well wish me luck in building, i probably need it.

Anyone know where I could possibly get these code geass HG kits? Im a beginner to gunpla but I really love Code Geass and want to pick up some of these kits. If possible not scalper prices T - T

Di ko gets kung bakit 1950, just want to watch the movie, may freebies ba ito?

Barbatos can't really hold the mace properly cuz it's polycaps on its shoulder keeps drooping even though I've already use joint tightening.
