GET YOUR OWN GUNDAM ( GUNPLA ) PAINTED AS YOUR FURSONA, TODAY!!
I need to make room for future projects and would like to give these fellas a new home!!!
I'm also like to paint these models like your fursona and ship them to you! (base coat, either clear or matte top coat. optional: panel lining, water decals, accents, battle damage, weathering, armor modifications) I’m also happy to customize another kit, that i dont have, it’ll be added to material costs :>
Please DM me! I'm always down to negotiate💚
Ballpark just for time and resources each project will be about $150-$200+ along with the turn around being a month, while I do my day job :3
HGAC Wing Gundam - the last of the original Gundam Wing quintet.
I'm still not a big fan of Gundam Wing. I still thing those mecha are a little too gimmicky for the "real robot" aesthetic Gundam typically has. And "bird mode" is certainly gimmicky. But, weirdly, this one probably has the most-normal Gundam loadout.
It's not designed purely for melee combat like Sandrock. It's not all guns, all the time like Heavyarms. It doesn't have a dragon arm like Shenlong. It's not cosplaying as the Grim Reaper like Deathscythe. It's got a fairly traditional beam saber, shield, and beam rifle.
I wanted to try building this kit without any of the stickers.
That's a metallic green Gundam Marker behind the lens in the chest. Some Army Painter matte black around the eyes, and metallic yellow/green Gundam Marker for the eyes and camera lens. I think it turned out pretty well. I like how fast the Gundam Markers dry.
That's some more Gundam Marker, metallic black this time, on the knees.
I was kind of surprised by the articulation on the wings. I mean, it's not amazing. But it's more than I expected from a high grade kit.
It's a fun build that really looks pretty good when it's done.
Unfortunately that transformation to "bird mode" is a huge let-down.
Giving this model a transformation means that some of the joints need extra wiggle-room to move around. And this makes those joints a little more fragile. I had issues with things popping off when trying to pose it.
And the transformation itself just isn't very impressive. This isn't really a problem with the model... It doesn't look great in the anime either. It's basically a robot flying around wearing its shield as a hat.
The Gundam Wing novels contain some amazing art work! When I mentioned it on the LS server, I was asked to share, so I took pictures of everything. Might as well share them here!
