Improving My Gunpla Display

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

#Gundam #Gunpla #Diorama
This week, I decided to give Gunpla a try. I've been asked many times to use Gundam or Zaku in a diorama, but never have until now. I'm super happy with how this one turned out and I am excited do more. The articulation of the kits lends itself to some dynamic and exciting composition possibilities!

    Excellent work; especially the way you finished the models without painting any major parts! Those Bandai Gundam and Star Wars kits are marvels of engineering. It's remarkable how they're able to produce parts of different colors on a single parts tree. (I'm still amazed at the Darth Vader TIE Fighter with the solar panels being a single piece molded in TWO colors.) As a sidebar, when I was in Junior High School in the early 1970's, Bandai was famous for their detailed 1/48 scale World War 2 tank kits, complete with engines and interiors. I wish they'd bring some of those back . . . .

    The neon filaments really take the project to the next level. Even small additions of weathering to the Gundam improve the presentation so much. And now that you've started tapping into the Gundam model-building, I hope to see you possibly look at Transformers figures as well and see how creative you can get with that. With Transformers, there's so many different versions of every character (G1, Cybertron, Animated, etc) that the possibilities are endless. Like different versions of Optimus Prime fighting different versions of Megatron in a massive battle or something.

    I love it. The only criticism I have is that I wish you'd lit up the monoeye on the MS-06S and the eyes on the RX-78-2; I think it would've been a great extra detail that would've drawn the eye to three separate points, between the weapons, thrusters, and eyes, and lit up the fronts of the suits a bit better so they weren't silhouetted quite as much. But all that said, amazing work!

    Awesome Gundam diorama sir!! I love the LEDs and smoke trails, they really help to sell the action going on. I was kind of surprised when you choose not to paint the figures, but decided to just detail them instead. The end result was very impressive and I was amazed at how much believability you achieved with just a wash and some light weathering. Simply masterful job!

    Beautiful scene, the resin on the base of the saber was perfect. The diorama Boylei found on Pinterest was very well-executed, but his own 'rendition' is stunning. The nerd in me noted of the finished work: Ray-san must be very confident on this day, for he has positioned his shield to absorb the incoming explosive projectile, rather than using a shallow angle to deflect the round.
