MG Tallgeese EW: WIP Part 4 [Updated 08/13/13]

Ok so, the torso is now roughly 95% done, just waiting on the back armor piece, and now I'm working on the waist.  Sprayed the last pieces in dark grey that still needed it yesterday and tonight they'll get a gloss coat applied to them.

Meanwhile the head parts...have been nothing but a pain.  For some reason on what was to have been the final spray of flat coat on those parts, it ended up dulling the white and making it look horrible.  So now it's been completely stripped and tonight I'll start reapplying top coats.  Haven't decided if they're going to get a layer of gloss again, may just run a flat or two over it and call it good.

RG Freedom: WIP Part 3

Ok, so obviously that is not the Freedom but rather the MG Epyon, there'll be a review for that soon so look at this as a teaser.  The freedom had a couple more setbacks that prevented it's completion, however it will be fine today, just waiting for the party's of the right wing to dry.  Tonight I plan to finish it's assembly and take some pictures of the kit, and then resume work on the MG tallgeese.

RG Freedom: WIP Part 2

Today I came home to find my topcoat had arrived, which means I can finally finish the Real Grade Freedom!  Originally I should've been able to finish this guy up last week however I ran out of the top coat I was using, Alclad II Klear Kote, and yes that's how it's spelled.  It's a really good airbrush top coat that I've been using on my MG Epyon and RX-78-2, and then on the RG Freedom.  With only the right wing and the shield left I could've just finished it up last week in Testors brand, but I have a thing about doing a kit with just 1 product rather than mixing it up.  So I'll be soaring this tonight and hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to finish this guy up and post some pictures!

MG Tallgeese EW: WIP Part 3

No pictures today, and not a lot of progress for that matter.  Instead of painting more grey parts what I was able to get done was put down the gloss coat on the parts painted yesterday, and put a layer of flat coat on the head.  This would've completed the head however I accidently knocked down the stem with the head crest on it and got fingerprints in the finish, so I'll have to work on fixing that up this week while I continue work on the torso that I also started today.  Unfortunately vacation is over now so work is going to slow down this week, but I will be continuing work on this (thus far) exceptional Master Grade of a suit I never thought would get the treatment, the Tallgeese!

MG Tallgeese EW: WIP Part 2

Finished up all the yellow pieces yesterday, began work on the grey parts this morning.  There's a lotta grey parts that need painted so this is gonna take awhile.  Just like with the yellow, I started by painting all the parts that needed masking and recolored, now I'm going to recolor the ones that don't need masked on a sectional basis, starting with the arms.  Tonight I also painted the pilot/standing figures of Zechs Marquise, not the easiest I've painted but at least both both figures had the same attire.  The rest of tonight/tomorrow I'll be spraying more and more grey and cleaning up the over spray on my already painted parts.

RG Freedom - WIP

This is my RG Freedom, as you can see it's almost done, just waiting on the wings to finish flat coat and assembly.  Should have it completed by next weekend, look for more pics then!

MG Tallgeese EW: WIP Part 1

Starting the MG Tallgeese ver. EW!  As you may know the EW version of the Tallgeese changes the color scheme slightly, focusing more on a white overall look and removing a lot of the dark grey from the TV version while adding some yellow.  I'm going for a modified version of this look adding in even more yellow and putting in some of the dark grey found on the TV version.  Got the first round of painting done last night, here's some pics of what's been done so far.
