Gundam 00 "Trust You" Diorama
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A little diorama I have idealized for a long time and I finally finished recently.
The base kit is MG 00 Raiser.
"Trust You", the 4th ending theme of Gundam 00, means a lot to me for many reasons - be it the lyrics that make me think of my relationship with Setsuna or the beautiful imagery. So I poured all my heart into this project.
Diorama progress stages and explanation under the cut
After sanding all pieces, I applied Mr. Surfacer primer. Gray for the light pieces (white and yellow) and black for everything else.
I built the whole kit in order to apply the highlight with the White Mr. Surfacer. This way I wouldn't accidentally mess up the shading position.

Then I unbuilt everything once again and painted with the normal 00 Gundam colors. Mostly Tamiya acrylics on airbrush. I applied a gloss varnish to seal the paint and start working on the weathering.
After everything was done, I applied Mr. Hobby Super Smooth flat top coat.

The diorama base was made out of styrofoam and painted with Tamiya acrylics using a brush.

I got some diorama flowers from WJDG Model and carefully placed it on the base and on top of the gunpla using PVA glue.
Then I added the diorama water texture effect by Ammo Mig.

Painting the water with Tamiya Clear Blue, German Gray, and some white for the highlights.

I know the whole diorama isn't really accurate for the original image, but I really wanted it to be Soran there. I find it especially meaningful that the ending has Soran all content appreciating the accomplishments of his adult self. If 00 Gundam is destroyed then it isn't needed anymore and peace is achieved. He gets to see for himself that flowers can indeed bloom in weapons. Good things came after his life of destruction.
But ok, I'd have to heavily modify one of the 1/100 Setsuna pilot figures.
I stole the pilot figure from MG Exia because I had a spare one. I didn't want to sacrifice the cozy and precious Setsuna in casual outfit that comes with MG 00 Raiser.
Sanded off some details. I made his jacket with Tamiya Putty. Glued the figure back together. Applied gray primer and wash.

As a bonus, the painted casual outfit Setsuna.

I’ve built a few HG gundam kits since last year but I’ve only just now found a shelf suitable for displaying them

My brother in law gave me this kit over the weekend, explaining that he found it too intimidating
I also find it intimidating

HGBF 1/144 Shin Burning Gundam
I saw this kit for pretty cheap online, and decided to pick it up just for fun, as the colours looked pretty cool. I'm really glad I did, as it was a super fun build.
The kit has really good color separation, with only a few detail stickers. I was a little disappointed with the sword, however, which had no color separation at all and needed to be painted.

The kit more than makes up for it with in terms of poseability. The joints are super flexible yet stiff enough to hold each limb up by itself, which is impressive given the use of polycaps. The kit also comes with 4 different pre-posed hands for each arm, and a really cool variety of flame effect pieces, including one for the sword and a few for the wings.

I've never watched any of Gundam Build Fighters, and probably won't, but the kit design and build experience definitely makes me want to pick up a few more of the HGBF line of gunpla.
