since you don't have an airbrush, these are your best friends for the finished look on gundam models:

for things to simulate metal (like internals, weaponry, etc) i like to use:

Get the spray cans. Best look for internals and weapons are gun metal or dark anodonic gray. Spray in light coats, should only take 2 light coats. Let dry for an hour, then seal with Metalizer sealer (also in cans).

now, when you're finished with your model (panel lining, decals, etc), give it a twice-over with some clear Dullcote Lacquer, once again, spraying a little at a time. Here's the link for that stuff, it's great:

also, see where you cut off the plastic pieces from the sprues? take a sharpie marker of similar color (usually lighter in shade) and just mark over that area. it will blend it together, not showing the little white mark. Gundam markers are also good for this b/c they come in the same exact colors. Grab 'em here:

As for panel lining, I use Micron pens ( .005) for all my lining.

I finally decided to get into the Gundam building hobby. I just bought a Master Grade RX-78-2 version 2.0 and have been reading up and watching videos on building and painting these kits. I hope I don't screw it up too badly.

In the that last posted pic of the Red Frame Gundam, is that a PG or MG?..i built the HG, awesome design..would love to tackle a upgraded kit of this suit.

F'n awesome P!tu! Gouf custom is probably my favorite mech - was so bad-ass in the 'toon.

I just scored a Zaku II MG 2.0, I think I'm gonna follow this guys method for assembly & painting - his tutorial is pretty cool IMO:

An Ashley Wood styled Gundam would look... scary, and deformed .

That's the Master Grade kit that I started with as well, and I screwed it up badly ! Read the instructions carefully, and take it very, very slowly. Make sure that you know what you're doing before actually starting the kit. I'm familiar with this kit, so feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

Oh man! I bought the "MG Strike Freedom Gundam Full Burst Mode" last year, and I haven't even opened up the box! And now, Bandai's releasing the PG . I'll have to Ebay the MG kit soon...

talking to Ash in Beijing he said they were going to do some Gundam stuff, still early stages but keep an eye out. he also mentioned the other day about a big link up that is coming.....

Man this thread makes me want to get all my Gundam kits out of storage. I had a lot of the larger scale kits from the Gundam wing series (and Endless Waltz). They were so much fun to build.
