Completed » MG Astray Copper Frame 2nd Revise »

Posted on Saturday, March 6, 2010, 1:43 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Completed Models, Modeling.

The 2nd completed build in my MGX4 challenge is a customization of the Astray Blue Frame 2nd Revise. Instead of blue, I went with copper (anti-beam-spam coating or perhaps anti-steampunk coating) which turned out beautifully, if I do say so myself. I wasn’t sure how it would look with the black and white as I [...]

Completed » MG Victory Gundam »

Posted on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 5:34 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Completed Models, Modeling.

Coming full-circle from my 1994 ‘false start’ is the new Master Grade Victory Gundam. My first ever Gundam model kit was the 1/144 V-Dash built soon after graduation from the Art Institute in 1994 and purchased mail-order from someplace called the “JAM Group”. About 7-8 years later I picked up where I left off and [...]

So I have proposed an interesting challenge for myself and perhaps one of you would like to try it as well. I am attempting to complete four modern Master Grade kits by sometime in April. (partially to reduce the footprint on my shelves) The kits I hope to complete are the following:

In Progress » HH-1N ‘Abandon Chute’ » Interior Nearly Complete »

Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010, 12:13 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Models In-Progress.

Here’s the near-completed interior. All I’ve left to do is to dirty-up the floor a bit with a little dust in the corners via a thin oil-paint wash.Seatbelts and consoles were the pre-painted PE that came with the kit. I just had to paint the backs of the seatbelts as some parts of those were [...]
