Thanks, Dash! I also get to a point where I wonder, "Should I stop here?"😅 But that Leynos diorama you did is wonderful! 🤘🙂

Thank you thank you. Yeah, the thing is weathering is to find the right amount (and scale). It can be very tricky.

Album info

First serious build in... decades!
Interest re-sparked when, on a lark, my wife & I picked up 2 HGUC kits at our local Target (RX-78-02 & Char's Zaku II), simply because she had never built a model and decided she wanted to. 🙂

After that I began stalking this kit from Char's Counterattack, because I liked the design. I finally found it in stock and for a reasonable price in the fall of 2021. Begun September 23rd as an off-and-off project and applied top-coat on May 3rd.

Not only a reintroduction and renewed joy in assembly, it was also a reeducation! Nippers were new to me (I was taught to use X-acto knives by my father over 4 decades ago! LOL) and paints were always applied from a small glass jar (or dad's airbrush).

Touches of paints were applied for details and weathering effects via Gundam Markers (GM20, GM152 from the Metallic Set, GM401; GM402, GM404 from the Real Touch Set 1; Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color Dark Gray ) either directly, by brush from pools extracted from the marker. GM400 (also from the Real Touch set), cotton swabs and small torn sponge pieces were used for blending.

Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the results (and very glad I opted for water-slide decals instead of these packaged stickers for the armor's markings (I had applied a few of the silver ones to the frame during the early stages of the build). Pardon the multitude of photos. I've been trying to capture the details as well as the spirit of the kit and feel like my camera isn't presenting everything that I see. 😛
