Ok this is an MG RX 93 Nu Gundam kit that I redid.
It was originally built in original colors using tamyia spray paints and
the like. Needless to say, it was a piece of crap in comparison
to some of my other kits. Since this is a relatively big kit and
more expensive than other MGs I felt that it was time to redo this kit.
One of my friends also told me that I really needed to redo this kit.
I've been thinking about doing a desert theme Gundam
suit. This paint scheme was originally for the PG MKII, but I figured
that redoing the Nu would be less work than starting a PG. For this
kit, I did not do too much in terms of modifications. I added a
few panels using styrene and a hand drill for making little rivet holes.
I only added a few waterside decals just for the Amuro territorial mark
because this is his MS. The paints are tamyia acrylics, desert yellow,
khaki drab, and dark gray. The V-fin was originally painted in yellow,
then I realized that yellow would not match the overall theme too well,
so I painted it gray. The typical dry brushing techniques and pastels
finish up the suit. Finally I coated it with future floor wax.
It was still in the process of curing when I put the suit together, I
could not wait to see what it looked like when completed. The base
is cheap particle board, stained and coated with polyurethane. On
top of that is a secondary base made with styrofoam and plaster cloth.
Desert scenics were then added. I added a couple of palm trees just
add some color to the base, it was really too plain with just sand and
the suit. I think this is my best work to date. Click on the
