So this concludes most of the progress. I have to cast a new foot, hunt down water decals, find "piping" for the hoses I lost and lastly add a rust like wash to the kit to call it complete. Oh and I guess look for a nice wooden platform and shaft to display the piece.
Overall, I will say that I had a great time de-stressing while working on this kit. I will be purchasing an airbrush for the next kit, as I realize I am too impatient for hand-painting.

So I started hand painting and may I see its quiet frustrating haha. So many coats I have to complete and I become OCD to try an obtain the smoothest finish.
Here's the resin laser beam I purchased many years ago haha.
Also patching up the empty backside of the front skirts.

To be completely honest, Im not 100% set, but preferably a clean look, but since its hand brushed, I may incorporate weathered elements to cover up any mistakes haha.
At the moment, I'm fleshing out a Diorama between the Refined Barzam and Advanced Hazel (something about them being mono eye suits held by Titans, but never actually being in the same Manga or OVA.)
I started painting the internals with Tamiya X-12 Gold Leaf.
I love it so far. I think the Mr. Color Red #3 will definitely make the leg internals pop on the pistons.
The suit armor will be the standard Titans Mk.II color scheme.

True, there's always something that goes wrong. I've been away the past few days on vacation, but returned to a nice delivery of paints. I also have started building the Advanced Hazel as I just couldnt resist.
Added some fresh Light Gun Metal to the frame
And lastly, I am planning on hand paintng this kit, as my partner is not big on me having a spray booth in the house, but maybe I can persuade her into letting me get an airbrush around Christmas.
Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Hello! Glad to see this forum still up and running.
It has been such a long time since I've visited the FichtenFoo Forums, but I'm glad that I am able to necro-bump an old thread of mine.
With working from home, I've somewhat renewed my interest in finishing this kit (something nice to add to my desk); as well as keep me from going insane with boredom.
Here you can see most of the kit primed and ready for primer.

Certain parts I'm slightly cleaning up and will paint separately. I also had to rebuild the pistons as I lost those
, but the new pistons worked out a lot better.

You can also see in the previous picture, I ruined one of the feet, so there's some recasting in my future haha.
Lastly, I bought an MG Advanced Hazel to be the brother kit to this. Will create a new thread once this is 80% painted.

There's also a Tallgeese III floating around next to all of the MG Wing kits that have been released recently.

I like Katokis iteration of the Epyon. Would have liked broader shoulders at 45 degree angle, but I can live with this. Now, bring on the Tallgeese so I can squeal to the heavens.

Just saw pics of new Epyon Line Art with MG next to it. Should be popping up soon. Sorry for not posting pics, but they belong to someone else and I didn't want to steal.

Thats so amazingly massive, I wouldn't know what to do with myself or that kit haha. I wonder if G-System would ever create a 1/35 Deepstriker. Good luck on the kit.

The way things are going I'd say: Nataku sometime in the summer. Heavyarms in Fall/Winter. EW Heavyarms sometime early next year (2012). And Tallgeese/Leos mid 2012. Hopefully, they do the opposite and release a new Wing kit every month in 2011 that way we'll have the Tallgeese by sept.

Model Talk / Ngee Khiong closed his blog

I know this is probably a week or so old, but just a heads up Ngee's blog is done for.

I feel like with BAKAUC using FB to update new products we won't feel the pain of his blog being gone too bad, but its sad to see it go.

Minor Update, Finished most of the internals. I still want to handbrush some copper onto the leg internals but that can wait till later. I still need to pick up more primer/paint to continue.
