My first time brush painting. I may have used too much primer spray on some areas and ended up with some grainy surfaces. Got a bit better when I got to the rifle.

I added some metal etchings painted gold to flair up the details.

The kit is not as un-posable as suggested by some, just have to be a bit more creative within its own limitations. The build itself is a bit dull if you're expecting a modern MG experience, but QC wise it's perfect. No sanding, no loose or tight parts. The final result though, is just the perfect amount of overdesigned that I personally love.

This is also my first mass produced MS and I love the fact that they give you a full set of numbers for the waterslides! Such a simple concept but having the option to have your own chosen number is really cool!

Had fun doing a group build event for 7-11 day with local Gunpla club a few months back. First build event since I got back into Gunpla after a 5 year hiatus so I went all out.

Yes I know it’s not correct scale with the building.

Its nice seeing both of my boys together. 😊

I alwasy liked this Gouf and found my old one in storage from the original Seed Destiny line I made years ago. Love the updated kit but I still have love for the old one too. Here's hoping we get more updates for Seed Destiny's grunt units. I have a whole set of Zaku warriors and Goufs from the Seed Destiny line (including the entry grade Slash Zaku Phantom and Blaze Zaku Phantom Heine's custom) and would love to recreate my little Zaku/Gouf army.

COMMUNITY Building Gunpla has definitely been helping me as someone who was born with a neurofibromatosis. It's a very rare disorder that can affect someone's brain function. My first build i did very struggle on a hg . And now I can do HG , MG , MGSD after getting into his hobby one year ago.

CUSTOMIZING Decay and Rust

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

It’s been about a year from the last full build, paint and detailing. Wanted to push myself a bit past what I’m comfortable doing. This kit was a gift to a graffiti artist hommie.

Painted with the cheapest of Amazon airbrushed, I wanted to create something that looked ruined and abandoned. I hand painted his tag and then whited off a spot on the other shield - so he can add another micro tag if he wants.

I typically struggle with over weathering and I fear I might have fallen victim to it once again. The rust and decay was made with super glue, paint and a good olde weathering kit.

Feedback is welcomed!

Repainted then arms, legs and head to a darker gray because I pooped on the first try. Broke the right grip hand. Just need to finish the hair and shave down the skirts. Hopefully I can be done by Halloween.
