SentaiSan's Adventures in Minipla (large images)
Hey guys,
Recently got into minipla (had seen it before, but was unaware of the awesomeness it contained). Inspired by folks like kun2522, I ordered my first kit (bragigas) and set to work. I'm fairly used to these types of kits having done the pokemon ones, but since I planned to paint these, it was still new territory. Easing into things, I built the first one and used stickers on it for the most part. I used matte clear coat, and didn't like the results: The matte clear coat dulled the paint, and, probably because it was left to dry in a cold area, caused the stickers to peel up. Here's some pics of some of the parts painted and then matte-coated (stickers on the body) http://i.imgur.com/v8MiXKm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Y2DOL3r.jpg Here's the first guy half painted, half stickered. I ended up liking the front legs which were painted and gloss coated, so I reused those in my second kit. http://i.imgur.com/QWTYNQY.jpg Decided going forward I would do all paint, here's the stickered head vs painted: http://i.imgur.com/jodEUn7.jpg Stickered vs Painted bottom (I cut the sticker and did use part of it): http://i.imgur.com/oGwXXi5.jpg And here's the final guy with his DX brother: http://i.imgur.com/wuoZXC7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ijLL2HK.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8GCW6hx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Y8faFlg.jpg http://i.imgur.com/CMfwiG9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KxG9lCu.jpg In the end, not great, but I'm satisfied for my first outing. Just bought Bunpachy from a member here so he'll be my next project. Hopefully I can take what I've learned here and make him better. |
wow, incredible.

Got some more kits in the other day and decided to try doing up Zakutor. Not a fan of how small he is, but I guess to keep things in scale he sorta has to be.
I went with a metallic green paint as a base, and then mixed it with olive green to darken it for the second layer. http://i.imgur.com/MgXWVfvl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/drQhOZml.jpg http://i.imgur.com/hPHv466l.jpg He still needs some touch up, silver on his "pipes" and a clear coat. I'll try to grab better pics with my wife's camera once he's done. |
