Mommar Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I kinda like the gloss on that. The Q-Rau is armor after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yeah, I don't know if I'd want to change the gloss coat, it looks so pretty that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Update time! Been back at work and what not - so progress on this has been slow... Everything you see here is at different stages of production, from only primed and needing more sanding (hubs), to partially clear coated, or decals or not clear coated... ANYWAYS, enjoy - I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurisama Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just waiting to find a place in Brisbane to buy Mr.Hobby UV Super Clear Coat Flat... the Tamiya clear sprays available to me are either gloss or flat with a warning not to use on decals or stickers - the previous tamiya i used was a different TS number, and was ok on decals - but no one sells it any more.... Jinnai has provided me with a site he uses to import sprays - or i can ebay? Anyways... almost there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurisama Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 GENTLEMEN... FAP FORMATION! Couldn't resist a test fit - please ignore the missing fingers, missing visor and varying gloss/matte finishes - will be smoothed over with a few coats of flat clear in the end - just wanted to seal the decals in. What do you guys reckon? Also - thank you all really, for the comments - this project feels like a real drag and easily shits me off as I'm an inexperienced painter/decalist/overall hobby guy. This is only my second custom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsain Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Dude! Yep, gonna have to do this, but I'll have to order in increments. 2 questions: A) it's hard to tell looking at the renders: what exactly is different about the shoulder missile packs? B) have you had a chance to write down the disassembly instructions? Ooh, what about decal sheets? Too awesome, Kurisama! (null) Edited August 30, 2012 by Kelsain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 In answer to your questions Kelsain; A) The DYRL missile pack has the DYRL missile placement and TV hubs and the TV missile pack has both TV missile placement and hubs. B) No, but I plan to photograph and do a step by step of dissambly of the torso - but the arms, legs and backpack are all pretty straight-forward and don't require step-by-steps, no? Decal sheets used are some from the 1/100 Glaug kit, a couple from the 1/144 Nousjadeul Ger kit and the rest were from the 1/144 Queadluun kit - about 1 and a half sheets (I have 3 kits). And thanks! Glad you dig! I made the ball joints in the fingers a little smaller than they should be to allow for paint and clear coats - but even with 4 or 5 coats of nail varnish, they're still a little too loose for my liking - keep this in mind, but if ppl want - I can make them bigger.
