Custom Bases Primed!

The title of my post is correct. I manage to finish and prime a couple of custom bases for my ongoing builds. I primed the custom base of my 1/144 Gaddess and my FA 78 1 Gundam resin kit.

I wanted to slap more pla plates on both bases as I was having fun cutting them. It has been a long while since I cut small friggin pla plates and almost forgot how fun they are.

I was working to achieve the super textured and detailed look of Star Wars ships but decided to prime the bases already as I think I could produce more textures through painting. Besides they are just bases. :)

I think the FA 78 1 Gundam resin kit looks better with his custom base than the base that came with the kit. Not really sure if I want to paint these bases tomorrow as I have other backlogs to revisit or resume work.

Anyways here are more photos of my usual custom bases primed!

Thanks for dropping by! Until next post guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

Full Armor 78 1 Gundam WIP - Pinned

I manage to pin some of the major parts of this beautiful GSB Masterwork resin kit today. This is actually my first resin kit ever and this was a gift from good friend Omar aka Aor_or_die of Italy. 

As this is a precious gift from a friend, I am taking extra careful steps in the pinning and cleaning process. The clean up was pretty easy except for a few very minor vent details that were covered by resin goo. The pinning is a bit challenging at first but is kinda fun.

I am thinking of adding a little bit more details on the kit but I am wary as I have not detailed a resin kit before. Will try to add a bit more panel lines and plates and a bit of battle damage effects specially on the shields before painting.

I plan to fully handpaint this with Vallejos and weather it with vallejo washes and pigments. Stay tuned guys as I slowly work on this project. Below are more photos of the kit on my workbench.
