Nice brushwork! He looks all battle-scarred which is exceedingly cool.

Joining James, Zaku Zaku Zaku!  :D

Superb work. I always liked the FZs autocannon (pictured) better than the old model.

Wow that looks great. How come my attempts at paint chipping just look like a series of mistakes generally? Are you actually removing paint or painting the chips on? I've seen some neat techniques online where people undercoat and then scrape off chips strategically or using a masking fluid. What's your method if you don't mind spilling the beans? And while I have you, how would I search for one of the Gundam pre-paints? What's the advertised scale on the box. That would give me a leg up on an ebay search. Thanks!

thanks guys, i always paint the chips on using a nice small thin brush, mix codex grey, black and dark flesh together and that should work! i bought the model in Bangkok when i lived there for a while, im not sure of the make, but if your in bangkok, they are in a store called central world just down the road from nana soi! ;)
