Unfortunately I gave up on the MGs after the Hazel Custom. They need way too much work and it kind of burned me out with all the masking. I am going to build the Advanced Hazel but that will be it, only because that design is so good. I got an Owsla and Primrose from US P-Bandai but sold it after I snapped the Hazel Custom. SO far I have built the HG Woundwort and Hazel Custom.
Your combo there looks very very good!

The drying needle point happens to me too and only with white (most of the time)! I thought I was doing some wrong the the damn paint. Every other piece I had to clean the tip and it doubles the time to airbrush the white pieces. Plus I am getting small flecks of dried paint shoot with the wet paint and messes with my paint job. It is driving me nuts. I keep increasing my thinner to paint ratio but then the paint runs, ripples, or pools. So lose lose situation so far. I have to do a very thin layer, dry the paint with the airbrush, and repeat four or five times before I get the opacity right.
The Mecha color is 'pre-thinned' but you have to add more thinner or it will gum up the airbrush. Unless you are using a 0.5 needle, but I have a 0.3 and 0.2 needle. Plus it is an acrylic which I find harder to work with than lacquers.
Yup we are running into the same issue then, to clean the needle I spray for a few seconds on full blast but I also get the small flecks whenever I forget to do it.

That looks soooo good! I love the shading you are able to do, subtle and not over done but noticeable. And the red fingers came out perfect.
I am working on painting my MG F90 gundam and it is taking longer than expected because of the white pieces. I am using Vallejo Mecha color off-white but having to do a lot of thin coats to get good covered without the paint running. Do you run into the same problem when painting white kits?
Good luck in the competition!
Thanks! Yes I usually go for a very subtle shading although sometimes I think its too subtle
but I'm happy with how it came out. The red fingers I had to hand paint a silver layer first and then went over that with metallic red. The silver helped a lot with the dark base of the frame.
I cant remember but is mecha color pre-thinned? I've only used it to hand paint details, never airbrushed it. I use lacquers but yes white paint is my nemesis. I have troubles with it because no matter what it starts drying at the tip of the needle and its the only color that I have that issue with. So my problem is not that it runs, its that its drying too fast but if I thin it any more then I can easily get some pooling. I had to spray multiple coats to get the shading right. Just when I thought I was done I looked at the pieces and they were too dark around the edges and needed more white.

MG Hazel custom is complete! This was my first experience with the Mk-II frame and from the waist down I have to say its pretty bad. The mechanism to move the legs forward engages too easy and if you use the thigh swivel too much the legs will come off
Also the hips on ball joints are the worst, this is the first ball jointed MG I've built in a good 15 years and I had forgotten how bad this design was. Once built there is no denying the kit looks good but it needs a lot of work to get it close to the artwork. Lots and lots of masking needed on the shields and the little yellow cylinder on top of the head were also a pain to paint. I missed a few of the red details but I was just sick of masking that I gave up on them. The Advanced Hazel is the last one I really want to do but I will probably wait until next year to work on it. Painting 3 shield boosters is enough for me for 1 year I'm entering this kit into a contest so wish me luck!

Something about the Damashii New Eva-02 looks off to me. It looks a little bit more blocky than the Revoltech. Im still buying it though because the fit and finish as usual will be better than any Revoltech. Here are some pics of the revo that has zero revoltech joints.

On Gundam related items, what is the pulse on okini.land? I pre-ordered the metal structure londo bell engineers option parts, which were released in Feb.
They are not replying to ticket requests or emails first sent about a week ago....paypal protection is fixing to expire.
Do these guys ignore tickets (NY style)? Or do they usually come through?
Last few orders I had to send them an email about a week after the release date asking them why my stuff had not shipped. They promptly shipped out after the email though.

I just took the easy route and used the "official" Hyaku Shiki gold paint from Mr. Hobby. Personally, I don't like the gold/chrome plating so to me the HS has always been a flat or semi-gloss.

woooooooooooo. Really liking the finish!!!
It was an accidental finish
I sprayed a "premium" semi-gloss and it came out more flat than anything.

Looking forward on your MG Hazel.
Thanks! The MG Hazel so far is a kit that looks good but it sucks. Doesnt stay together well and it has ball joints at the hips
Its also got some really weird seam lines. Bandai put the least effort into it and it shows. Still I will try to make it look good

do you recall when? was it during the last 2 months?
Their last response was 10/26.

Last time I had a problem with them (didn't send a figure) it took a good 3-4 emails for them to respond. I think they asked me for the paypal transaction emails and just refunded me.

@anubis20 nice finish on the Blitz. Did you paint the kit? or just topcoat it? Are the decals 3rd party or the set from the Providence special edition?
Thanks! Yes it all painted and top coated with Mr Color GX-114. Decals are 3rd party from Delpi Decal. I have that special providence and completely forgot about the decals
Didn't remember until I was done with the Aegis but by then I had already ordered 3P decals for the entire team

Finished MG Blitz! Only one more to go to complete the team

So according to Arcadia the Garland re-issue doesnt come with the book and has tighter joints(?). Don't remember the joints on my Garland being bad enough for me to get the reissue.

Mafex Miles turned out pretty good. No QC issues on my copy to speak of. Only gripe is the belt. Needs a magnet or something to hold it in place.

Hey @anubis20. Looks like somebody photoshopped the Metal Build logo in there.
From Tamashii site, it's under Metal Robot Damashii.
Hmmm thats interesting. I got the pics from their instagram, looks like somebody was too excited about a MB Impulse like I was

DHL goes by volumetric weight, I had an 8 pound package that was charged as a 22 pound package because of the size... the shipping cost was almost $200 back in April.
