Finished! G-System 1/100 The-O

After about 2 and a half months of work, I have finally finished this kit! This is my first large resin kit I've ever done, and it really is quite tall at 12 inches (and HEAVY!).

I tried to go with a desert camo feel with some minor, minor pre-shading. Most of the pre-shading has all but vanished because I wanted to get the shade just to my liking. I posed him in a semi-aggressive pose, but it kind of makes the back look funny. Also, regarding decals, I know you can still kind of see some, but I was having difficulty with my Future coat interacting with the decals for some reason.

Majority of paints are Tamiya acrylics (custom mixes with most colors except white), and I also used some Model Master Metallic paints, Humbrol metallics and Model Master enamels for some details. The wash is with Testor's enamel. and all coats are done with Future. Decals are OOB and samuel decals.

All other WIP details can be found on my blog. Onto the pics!



Warning: Lots of images!












And a size comparison to my first 1/144 resin kit



I sincerely appreciate all of your support during my WIP and would love feedback!

1/100 PMX-003 The-O Resin kit: Part 2

Began pinning a bunch of parts together


Added a joint to the neck piece (the piece is upside down here)


An exploded view of the larger parts of the foot


Because of how lighting can greatly affect how the colors look, I'll just put up a bunch of pictures of how the desert yellow is coming along. You can judge for yourself if you like it or not. I personally think it looks awesome - like blasted sand. I have pre-shaded the parts with dark yellow, then filled in with a desert yellow mixed with white - all are Tamiya paints.





I'll be making another Gundam building 101 - this time for pre-shading. As usual, it will be for noobs like myself.

Up next is taping and more painting!

1/100 PMX-003 The-O Resin kit: Part 1

So I got this kit from g-system-best.com. Not a bad price (cheaper than the MG haha), and I am amazed at the casting quality.


I have to do almost no cleanup - just removal of the molding nubs.











This kit is pretty big for 1/100 scale.

I finished cleaning up the nubs and ran it through some degreaser.


And began priming everything.


Now I'm just working on pinning and adding joints. The resin is very heavy.



More updates soon!
