now's a fun time to share the little simple mockup i edited months and months ago from some kampfer lineart for how i wanted to modify it. please ignore the fact that the vulcans would fire directly into the fin antenna

lineart of the kampfer from gundam 0080 war in the pocket. only the head has been edited here, replacing the single monoeye with a gundam's eyes, and replacing the command horn with two fin antenna

good glob the new frankenstein movie kills. god. fuck i love art

they don't understand how cute you really are
(poorly dry fit, i may or may not snip off a bit of the 'chin' on the helmet piece)

since my airbrush project is on hold i've spent my time doing unspeakable things to my MG kampfer (federation-ifying it and turning it into a stolen zeon MS that was repurposed into a training unit, like the gelgoog at the end of stardust memory)

the head of the MG Kampfer, with the eyes and mask of the MG EZ8 Gundam glued onto it

update to say the airbrush doesn't even work because there's some weird defect in it that instead mashes the paint bottle's needle up into the nozzle .. lmao. been waiting a nice cozy week on a proper response from dspiae. guh

Hm, yeah, colored pencils seem to be the way to go for cracks on this pavement. Not sure if it's in-scale exactly, but looks pretty good anyway (to me at least). #diorama #gunpla #gundam

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · 7d

looks so good. you ever try those AK weathering pencils? have a few and they work wonders, just gotta use caution cause they're soluble in water

hopefully i made even half of this make Some Cents, but i was really happy with not being scared of butchering my model kits anymore, understanding how the insides of them work, and modifying them to make painting a lot easier 🤍

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · 8d

the head, i just glued the snout on and snipped the pipes so i could paint them w/out obstructing the head and just fit them back on

the chest, i cut the inside of it that holds the sides' pegs in, meaning i could assemble and glue everything together once it's all painted with ease

the zaku half-cannon's head, very slightly modified by cutting the power pipes in half so i can just slide them in and out as i need them!

the zaku half-cannon's chest, with the left side of the chest disconnected from the model. the chest is complicated and a bunch of parts sandwiched together

originally the pegs on the sides of the chest are to facilitate a gimmick of the torso deforming on itself so it can be posed and oriented better, like when the zaku is holding the supporting handle on their machine guns. but i don't give a whole care about Any of That! so i cut the inside of the chest to just let me slide it off and on for painting, after which i'll glue everything together so it can never deform ever again. goodbye gimmick ..

the chest, assembled, dry fit together

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · 8d

the arms were tough to figure out, they're a bunch of parts sandwiches over an innerframe, so i cut the connecting peg between the joint and the arm in half so i could glue it all together and, like the leg, slide it on and off!

the armor has the benefit of covering up my horrific surgery

the zaku half-cannon's arm, with its elbow joint snipped to allow me to completely assemble and glue the lower arm for painting

the joint dry fit into the arm, completely hides my modification

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · 8d

tamiya glue fixes it all together, but origin kits have an innerframe it all fits together over, making assemblies difficult! so i hollowed out the inside of the leg armor n sliced up the innerframe, so i can just slide it and out as i need. once the armor is done being painted, it slides right on

the inner frame of the zaku half-cannon's legs, the lower part of the inner frame has been modified, excess plastic cut away to allow me to slide it inside of the leg's armor

zaku half cannon's leg armor, it's been glued together and prepped for painting, with excess plastic sliced and sanded out on the inside, modified to allow me to simply slide the leg's innerframe down into it to make painting it easier!

assembled! it's dry fit, and can easily be taken back off of the leg

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · 8d

now that i have an airbrush i can post about what my devious plots with it are atm and what i did to butcher this origin zaku to prep for it. i wanted to get everything broken down into assemblies, so the first hurdle to get over was seamlines

the ghastly skeletal remains of a zaku half-cannon model kit broken down into assemblies for painting!

the last time i had an airbrush it was a lil portable-powered airbrush a friend got me that i managed to get clogged and then i think potentially broke in the process of tryna fix it. this should be way easier to mess with since there's minimal cleaning involved 💜

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · 8d

finally have an airbrush 💜🤍 i mostly just plan on using it for base coating my models, so i didn't wanna get any super crazy expensive setup (at least for right now)

a hobby desk with dspiae products scattered on the top of it. the dspiae wash free airbrush, 50 count 0.5 and 0.3 mm needles, super corgi butts, sprue racks, and paint spray bottles

super corgi butts! an arrangement of dogass, some of them even have little balls. they're just used for testing your airbrush and paints on!

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · 8d

maybe now i can stop flopping between projects like a lil fisch

every time i don't see it my tiny little heart breaks. i've been scribbling down what runners it wants on the first steps of each part in my manuals lately!

that's no gundam! looks like it's the winzert from mado king granzort

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · Sep 24

majority of the ones on the right are high grades, so $15-30 each (give or take)

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · Sep 22

this was my first time trying to use a gloss topcoat before applying an oil wash and it's helped a lot, made the oil wash a lot easier to apply and kept the lines nice n sharp

naliev 🌙 @naliev.bsky.social · Sep 22

life's been stupid hectic but i've been keeping my hands busy finally getting around to my gundam artifact miniatures, starting with the GM from thunderbolt 💜 been tryna base the color scheme off the HG gunpla's box art!

the torso and head of the Gundam Artifact GM (Thunderbolt), held up on a pterodactyl clip. painted in citadel the fang, corax white, and monument hobbies golden brown, before being topcoated with tamiya clear gloss, then given an oil wash with abteilung 502 starship filth

as someone who frequently assists people in steam account recovery/security, this is not considered proof for recovery in any way. valve would want information such as card/bank info, simply going "hey i purchased x/y thing" won't help at all
