MG RX-79(G) WIP

MG RX-79(G)WIP 2

So I basically just wasted a good day and half on a really stupid but annoying problem. When removing the seam lines on the torso, all were taken care of with plastic cement and primer filling, except one. On the left side of the torso where the front and back pieces connect, there was a stress mark and the front pieces didn't match up with the back. This made it so that seam was never properly cemented together all the way. So after filling with primer and and sanding and repeating over and over again I said **** it and used some epoxy putty. Each time the front piece would just flex and bend down breaking the filler during the process of sanding. As a result of all this hoo-ha over one damn seam line there was some over sanding so, I layed the putty down thick and sanded it back into shape. Now I'm back on track.

There will be one more WIP post, and then I'll put up a finished display post after decals, panel lines, and weathering.

As always, thanks for the view!

MG 1/100 RX-79(G) WIP

With the Real Grade Mk-II out of the way I've finally been able to get back to work on other things. This is a kit a received a long time ago as  my commission. I've sold a finished kit and received a few more commissions since. My client let me know from the get go that I could work on this kit very leisurely and take my time, since I don't have much of that anyway. Having said that, it is time to get this done. I'll be removing some seamlines, painting the head, the blue parts, the red parts, the yellow parts, and finally the armory next. All panel lining will be done in brown/grey enamel to account for the owner's style preferences. After all that is taken care of I will be very lightly weathering this kit with some chipping and streaks. It should look pretty decent with the reddish brown shading done to prepare for the other weathering steps. I should have this done in about a week or so, so check back soon!

Colors thus far:

Frame: Alclad Duralumin + Testors Window Tint (smoke)

Armor: Mr. Color Flat White shaded with Mr. Color Red-Brown.

            Mr. Color Flat Red shaded with Mr. Color Red-Brown+ 10% Flat Red

Thanks for viewing as always :)
