As it turned out, I       wound up taking much more interest in the Zaku project, and so       the HGUC Gundam kit I bought wound up being used as a painting       and decaling excercise.  As with most of the kits I&#8217;d done       before, my aim with the Gundam was to devise a more subdued       color scheme for the paintjob, favoring low-contrast color       combinations rather thank the bright, almost pastel-like colors       seen in the anime.  The Gundam was also the first project I completed       with my airbrush.  For various reasons, the end results really       weren&#8217;t all that great, but the project was a great excercise in       the use of all my new supplies and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>One of the nice things about the HGUC Gundam is that it builds       to a nice representation when built unmodified.  That made it a       good quick project.  Notable details of this build are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Subdued color scheme: light gray, navy blue, my latest         attempt at a low-intensity red, and silver in place of         yellow.  It looks kind of real-type ish.<\/li>\n<li>First kit finished with my airbrush, first kit finished with         Mr. Color.<\/li>\n<li>Crappy masking edges, sloppy dry-brushing, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of option decals and dry transfers.  I had a lot of         trouble with these.  It&#8217;s Tetsujin&#8217;s unit 28&#8230;  get it?<\/li>\n<li>Half-hearted, ill-conceived attempt at shading with black         over white.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Mobile Suit Bubba<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/front1.jpeg\" title=\"front 1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/front1_thumb.png\" \/><\/a>         <a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/front2.jpeg\" title=\"front 2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/front2_thumb.png\" alt=\"front 2\" \/><\/a>         <a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/front3.jpeg\" title=\"front 3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/front3_thumb.png\" alt=\"front 3\" \/><\/a>         <a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/back1.jpeg\" title=\"back\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/back1_thumb.png\" alt=\"back\" \/><\/a>         <a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/kick1.jpeg\" title=\"kick\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/kick1_thumb.png\" alt=\"kick\" \/><\/a>         <a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/shot1.jpeg\" title=\"last shot 1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/shot1_thumb.png\" alt=\"last shot 1\" \/><\/a>         <a href=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/shot2.jpeg\" title=\"last shot 2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_144_Gundam\/shot2_thumb.png\" alt=\"last shot 2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Mobile Suit Gundam was to air on US television, I decided I wanted to put some of my Gundam Wing projects on hold so I could build a Gundam and Zaku.
