No school!

So I don't have school for the next 2 weeks,
that means more time for gunpla :D

Started on the dio for my Dom

(sorry for the bad pic, can't find my camera...)

Some bad news tho: there seems to be something wrong with my compressor...
Air comes out in pulses and I spray blobs of water instead of an even coating :(
Anyone know what's wrong?

Quick update

Hi folks :D
Haven't had much time to do gunpla because I have exams...
But last one is on tuesday,  so you can expect a few updates next week :)

But the reason for this quick post is that i finally got a replacement nozzle for my airbrush!!! :D
Let's hope this one lasts longer than the first one xD

Almost there

Have been working on and off on this...

(had alot of school work lately <_< )

but managed to paint most of it (rush work, so it isn't that good...)

just some detail painting and weathering left :)

(ow, have to finish the weapons too)

i'll try to finish this before december, cause exams are starting on december >.<, have to concentrate on studying :)

How to make rivets

Since I'm making a lot of these for my build I decided to write a little tutorial on how to make these little things.

• Requirements

1:  Lighter, can also be one of those lighters you light sigarets with, but I couldn't find another one.

2:  Aluminium plate, or something else that doesn't melt when heated

3: Knife

4: Electric drill

5: Piece of sprue

• What to do?

First take your electrical drill and drill a hole in your aluminium plate (this hole will have the same diameter as your rivet)



Second, take your piece of sprue and heat it with your lighter.



Then, when your sprue starts to melt, push it through the hole you made in your aluminium plate.



The other side should look something like this:



(It isn't that visible in the pic, but if you look really hard you can see the rivet sticking out of the hole.)

Wait for the plastic to cool down and pull your sprue out.



Next step, take your knife and cut off the little rivet.



Last, collect them in some kind of container.



After a while you'll get enough to actually do something with those lilttle things.

I hope this has been some usefull information to some people :)

Long time no update.....

Okay, so lit's been a while since i updated this.....

Rivets:



Panelline:



and for some reason i wanted to add some height to this foot thingy:

That's all for today :)

Shield - Done

Hi everyone, just finished the shield :)

But not really happy with it...

it looks more like a dirty piece instead of a weathered piece <_<

here's the pic anyway

Improvement :)

New shoulder...



Started riveting the shield, but ran out of rivets and can't find a lighter at the moment, so I'm stuck for a while <_<

That's it :)

Shoulder

Pff did lot's of sanding today...

but i got a little update :D

Decided to scrap the pointy shoulder idea and make something that looks a little more like the DOM Tropen

Still needs alot of work...

Axes!

Small update, nothing special:

Primed the shield, some problmes here...



Detailed the axe:



Dom holding the 2 axes:



Back to work :) (lot's of sanding to do  )

Sword and shield

Haven't been working on this for a while...

School is keeping me busy >.<

and WoW is damn addicting....

So the sword and shield are pretty much done, just some cleaning up left...

The sword:



The shield:



Overall look:



That's all for today :)

Layering

update:

I was trying to achieve some kind of layered armor effect and this is what i've got

Some thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated :)

Mono-eye madness

Haven't worked on this lately,

school is keeping me busy, and when i have some time i play online game with my friends.....

So i could only do some clean-up this week...

And also scratchbuilt mono-eye :D

cause sticker eye is kinda lame...



maybe paint with some mettalic red instead to make it stand out a bit more

without cover:



mono-eye assembly ( noob: ) :

That's it :)

Rivets

Tried some rivet detailing:



opinions?

Shield frame

Lucky stilll have some time for gunpla :D

made this frame for the shield

what do you guys think?

Weathering+Zeon emblem

School won't stop me :D

Decided to re-do the zeon emblem:

better than the first one but still not perfect... but i'm sticking with this one....

Tried weathering the back skirt, maybe overdid it a little?

What do you think?



(dunno why this one looks blu-ish..., should be purple like the first pic)

Pastel shading

I tried some pastel shading

Handpainting

i tried some handpainting on the backskirt

Painted with acrylic for walls and ceilings (it's the cheapest paint around)

I think it looks quite good, not perfect, but OK

(the vents were removed for easier painting)

C&C on the handpainting would be great :)

Color schemes

Color schemes I'm not really good at this...

A



B



C

That's what i have so far

Please vote :D

Suggestions are also very welcome :)
