At long last, I present the HG Masurao. Released in 2009, I've wanted this kit ever since, can't believe it took me this long to get it. This is one of my top 10 favorite mobile suits, so this is going to be a straight build, and is going to need a lot of painting... Should be really fun though, pretty excited about it!

MG Gundam Age-2 Dark Hound
Well this is long overdue, this is my Master Grade Gundam Age-2 Dark Hound I bought at the local anime convention in August. I'm building this in tandem with my friend who is building the MG Crossbone X2, so I'll probably make separate posts with both kits. Assembly is complete, next we'll be taking them apart and painting them up!

HG Gundam Age FX
Quick side project, this came in yesterday and I opened it up and snapped it all together in about 2 hours. Overall, not too impressed with this build, especially the legs and parts of the arms, but once I paint it that'll probably clear up. There are a couple clear parts that should've been on the clear green runner, like the "A" in the cest....but other than that and the strange use of purple in some spots it has good separation. The main reason I got this was to do a kitbash with the 00 Quanta and 00 Gundam for a future custom suit, I'll probably be working on that this weekend (and hopefully some MG Dark Hound...)

RG Destiny: WIP Part 2
As of tonight I've painted all the red and blue parts, given them a gloss coat, and started panel lining them. I've also got most of the rest or the parts gloss coated and they are curing atm. Should just be one more round of prep glossing to go. I had to paint the blue parts because the nub marks were way too noticeable on this guy, plus I made a stress fracture in the plastic on the chest so that needed fixed. I painted the red with a mixture of Mr. Color reds, because I found the standard red too bland. I used Mr. Color on both and this was my first time using that brand. I must say I really liked it, being a lacquer based paint it should bond better with the plastic. Not much else to say about it this time other than I got some decals for the kit from SamuelDecal, all water slides do looking forward to trying those out. At this point I'm very pleased with the kit, albeit a bit nervous about how well it will fit together with all these layers on it, we shall see.
RG Destiny: WIP Part 1
Well this post is about a week late...anyways Destiny was completely assembled (no paint except the eyes) and had since been taken apart. I painted the frame parts using a mixture of Tamiya silver and gun metal, was pretty nervous about painting the preassembled frame of the real grade but it came out perfectly. As I said in the opening part, trying to simulate the silver frame from the MG Extreme Blast but toned a lot darker (expecting a RG I Justice that will need a silver frame). After that I gave it a light coat of Aqua Gloss Alclad to help protect the paint.
