Painted An Old Friends Frame For A Video Project Im Trying To Finish. This Was The First Gundam I Ever

Painted an old friends frame for a video project I’m trying to finish. This was the first gundam I ever airbrushed. I did it about a year ago now. Definitely a novice job done here but it will always have a special place in my heart. Anyway.. Wanted to update it to match wing and Heavyarms. Going to do Shenlong and sandrock next.

P.S. pardon the mess behind him, I’ve halted all projects to focus on one.

‪ I wanna address something that’s been really bugging me about this Tallgeese 2 that’s a fkn PBANDAI. Here’s what I posted on my IG

Finally got all of deathscythes thrusters done.. the alclad high shines can be a pain. It feels weird updating the frame and thrusters while the paint job is super old and damaged. Anyway. I should be able to finish the fins tonight then I can finally say it’s done even a year after I did it 😂

So, I upgraded deathscythes frame and thrusters. Thrusters take a little while longer because of the specific paint I use is a bit of a process. I also did a few parts like the tabs on the shoulders and the inner skirt armor. For some reason I never painted the fins on the pack and I can’t remember why. I think I might have been debating painting them white or copper. Either way I’ve gotta do them before it’s gonna be done. I also have to do the rest of the decals in the scythe as well as MAKE one of them because it comes in white and I need it in red.

This was the first gundam I ever painted. I did it about a year ago. There are lots of flaws, silvering in the decals, improper sanding/lack of sanding nubs, and chips in the paint, even the shading I’m not very fond of. It honestly should be repainted. However, this was my first so I don’t plan to change anything I have already painted. I just wanted to update the frame to match what I’ve done with the others for a project I’m trying to finish. Once I’m done I will take photos of it like I did with my Heavyarms.

Deathscythe

Deathscythe update is done. Finally have some decent pictures of it! Done for now!

For those of you who don’t know, this was the first gundam I ever airbrushed and my 5th-6th gunpla all together. I did it almost a year ago and I never painted the frame or thrusters.

There are a lot of paint issues. Damage from handling it or poorly painting, but I didn’t want to repaint anything because I want to show my improvement of airbrushing as I went along doing each gundam.

I do wanna say, deathscythe has some issues with posing 😂 the bottom toe parts, the front skirt tabs and side skirts like to pop off a lot. The head likes to start opening at the seam after moving it around a bit and they scythe is only really designed to sit one way in the hands.

Regardless I still love this gundam and I will be doing another in the future! I still got a little to do with deathscythe but next up for frame painting is shenlong!

his gundam was a learning process. I learned how to use Alclad II High Shines and Aqua Gloss properly. Made my own custom colors, forgot the
