Finished last night, but wanted to wait til I get some sun to take pictures. Sunlight is really the best lighting. I thought I leave this a clean build bc in the anime/manga Lorenz got a completely new (or refurbished) unit.

The kit does come with their own decals. But most of the decals just say "caution" on them. So I didn't want to have caution decals plastered over everything. The kit also does not come with a guide on where decals are to be placed, so you have to do some research or just go with your imagination. Decals are also clustered very closely on the sheet so you will need an exact knife to get pieces you want.

Overall, this is a pretty ok kit. The end result looks great though.

I put it next to a RG Zaku for scale. I also put glow-in-the-dark stickers in the visor for glow effect. The jewel in the head is not part of the kit, had to buy nail art jewels sticker sheet for that one. I think it turned out ok.

Hi everyone!

This is my first kit that I’m hand-brushing, and I’m currently in the process of applying primer.

I’d really appreciate some feedback from anyone with experience, especially with hand-brushing. I also have a few questions:

1. Did I use the right primer? I’m wondering if I may have used the wrong type of paint for priming. I read that Mecha primers are mainly intended for airbrushing.
2. Do I need another coat of primer? I’ve already applied two coats. Does the coverage look sufficient, or should I add another layer?
3. Any recommendations for a gloss top coat? I’ll be applying it by hand, so I’d appreciate recommendations for a gloss top coat that works well with hand brushing. I'm thinking of using Vallejo - Auxiliary - Gloss Polyurethane Varnish [26.650] but if there are better options, I would appreciate the suggestions.

If it makes any difference, the brush that I'm using is Tamiya flat brush no.3 Item 87014.

Thanks in advance for any advice and feedback. This is my first attempt, so I’m hoping to learn from everyone’s experience.

It’s a little smudged (I assembled without gloves and the paint apparently wasn’t cured) but I can tell it’ll be a fun build

Been having some kit batching ideas using GN-arm and Zeus Silhouette.

But ended up keeping adding new parts, trying different coloring, and then the kit batch project just went wild.

How does it look? Can you identify all the kits used?

I'm in the middle of planning the parts for kitbashing Trailblazer from "Punishing Gray Raven". Until now I figured the Torso and Arms (HG Gundvolva heavily modified with plaplates) and the Legs (IBO Mass Production MS A). But I came to a stop regarding the head and the red secondary arms. For the head I was thinking the Kotobukiya's interchangable head set (Image 4), but I'm still not entirely sure. And the red arms... I don't know. I have a Body-chan at home, maybe I can use its arms...

P.S. For Moderators: This post is the same I posted on another sub. I wanted to crosspost it from there, but when I was going to select this sub, it said "This sub doesn't allow these posts". I checked the rules of the sub, but I don't think I'm breaking any of them... please tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
