I just finished painting / weathering my old MG Wing Gundam Zero Custom today and I am pretty happy with the outcome. I gave this kit some battle damage effects days ago with Hasegawa U type and flat type chisels and also with an ordinary art knife.
I then gave it the sponge paint chipping effects that I also did with the AC White Glint build, however unlike the brown and flat earth enamel washes of the White Glint, I gave this one an ordinary black mixed with flat earth enamel wash. Thus it does not have the rusted old and battered look that I achieved with the AC kit. I will never weather with neutral colors ( black and gray ) next time and will stick to my rust colored weathering. hihi
The concept is to make it look like it is rising from it's grave thus I gave the kit a simple seemingly rising from the dead pose with its arms tucked on the sides and wings still pointing towards the ground...I think the pose gives the overall impression that it just rose from the ground and has just awaken from the dead. sort of Wing Gundam Zero Custom reborn.
The main reason why I wanted to finish this today is because after looking at my AC White Glint build for some time, I realized that the finishing is too flat and that the rubber wires at the back of the shoulders is a bit frosted so I needed to put a nice semi gloss, semi flat top coat to it. BUT, I am lazy to set up my airbrush just to topcoat one kit, so I finished this and gave both a semi flat / semi glossy finish. Anyways, here are some pics of the build...
Thanks for dropping by! til next post! ;D

I think the battle damage is a little bit overdone... just my 2 cents...
It is actually, I wanted a rising from the dead look...personally I think I should have done more. ;)

That art in plastic, have you consider taking some pic of the gundam with other pose and not on action base.
Thanks bro! hmmm, I have not... can't think of a different pose bro. :)
This work is amazing! You're a true inspiration. I've been researching online before making my custom, came across yours, and DYAM, it's totally off to another level.
here's the one I made recently after browsing and researching online:

Please let me know what you think, thanks!
your take on this model has fueled my inspiration meter for when i do my own spin on this model. which will take a different spin on the title "Fallen Zero".
Glad you liked it bro! :D
fantastic detail!!! I could imagine the pain of sacrificing a MG gundam for the photographs. Kudos. ^_^
Not really sacrificing it bro... The paint job of my MG Wing is not good... I did it way back 2008 as my second MG?... Bad painting so decided to damage it eventually to make it look better. thanks! :)
It looks realy great!
I have a question, hope you can help me because i want to start painting.
My mg d-hell is not painted yet but i want to weather it and make it battle damaged.
Do you recommend painting the whole gundam first before doing this, or is this possible to weather the parts without painting the whole gundam.
I would like to know this because i don't have a airbrush or proper equipment to do this.
thanks alot:)
Answered your email bro. Hope it helps. :)

I've been browsing on-line more than 3 hours nowadays, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty value enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the internet will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.
