Dry Brushing Tutorial, finally done!

Behold, the legs of my MG Victory Gundam... JDW_7258 What a fucking nightmare this kit has become. A full review should be coming soon. Bah. In the meantime, I finally finished the dry brushing tutorial for the Guide. It only took so long to post because I've been faaar to lazy. Also, enjoy the typos and bad grammar while it lasts. I'm bound to properly proof read sometime this week...

MG Exia Ignition Mode Reivew

JDW_3473 Bandai did a few crafty things with this kit that they haven’t done before. The first is really hard to see in most pictures of the kit. All of the green circles have letters and lines molded on the inside which match the stickers underneath. It’s a nice little detail that is best appreciated up close. This is also the first, and probably last kit, to have rubber strips coated in a rainbow reflective surface. To my knowledge this is the only suit from Gundam 00 to have this design feature, hence why we won’t be seeing it again. Over all it’s a nice feature, but under most lighting conditions you don’t see any of the reflective goodness.

Gouf Custom - Soviet Reprise Examined

Where to start... I originally built this MG Gouf Custom way back in the day, pre 2002, and pre me learning to clip the pieces from the runners and sand down the nubs. It was a shame to let such a beautiful model collect dust in such a sad state. I'm not sure which came first, the decal purchase or the idea for this guy. When I built my RX-78-4/5 I saw the nifty Soviet decals from Microscale. So, after finishing the other projects I was working on at the time, I got to work on this guy. I started by taking the kit apart piece by piece. I'm sure a lot of people looking to spruce up an old kit would much rather just leave it alone and work from the outside.
