HGUC RX-78-2 Custom

time to put up the Gallery for my RX-78-2 Custom for the Groupbuild =D


i bet that you guys didn't expect it to be BLACK XD



okay okay, let me explain, actually according to the first WIP, i did said that there will be no painting for this kit as this is my first RX-78 (and i thought it will be the first and only first) but.....

shortly after they announced the RG RX-78....i got some mixed feelings...

and during WIP 3, i ended up repainting some red parts

okay let me get this clear, RX-78-2 G30th got a lighter color scheme compared to the original scheme, so that's why i repaint the feet, head crest and chin but, when i flat-coated it, the lighter shade turned to be too light to my liking..so i gave the torso flat black and the mid-torso the red i used for the rest of the red part and so

turned out to be pretty good ^^ oh yes, the v-fin also, i got it in yellow :D

okay, the photos now ^^ explanation follows XD

Basic Photos

the flat coat really do some pretty good job, the shield turns out to be very nice compared to the not coated one



that's what you get when spraying flat-coat during (very very) cloudy day

see the handle...frosting arrggghh!!!! even so , i didn't clean it all..only some parts since i just go lazy with the frosting ^^;;;

Action Poses

beam cannon~!!!



stupid Bandai...giving swivel-handle but no palm to grip it


still, the bazooka looks nice for me



some might think the saber in the shield as a gun as well XD






pretty nice result by playing with the red spray~ i got pink~ got that by a thin layer followed by lazy-wet-sanding XD





at least the stand is not visible ^^;;; less hammer photos..thanks to limited mobility for this kit itself..it is even hard to make him to have a nice stance (or maybe it is just me ^^;;)


wrapping up this build, all i can say that this kit is pretty good IMO despite the limited mobility even using the PC-OO1 aka HG OO PC. the hammer is a good plus comparing it with the original HGUC release. just cant say much on it since i'm overall are satisfied with the kit and the work i did on it :D

also to say, i decided to paint this one since the RG that i shall be getting will not have any repaint XD

like usual, check the WIPs as well ^^
