My entry for RockLee RX-78 Group Build is starting its progress 😀
What I wanna do with this kit is only a minor modification in the color scheme. There are several reason why I only plan to change the color scheme:
1. RX-78 has a very classic shape. I want to make it stay that way. I think the best way to preserve that condition, is by not changing it. Still, at the same time, I feel like there should be something different for this one, therefore, a change in the color scheme is the best option.
2. I don’t really have sufficient skills in doing pla-plate modification T.T better not swallow those thing I can’t chew right? And I have an excess number of paint that I never even use, so this is the the perfect moment.
3. Speed built and basic skill. I wanna see how fast I can do this 😀 at the same time, I want to improve basic skills like shading, smooth surface paint, and decal application 😀
And here’s what the RX-78 might look like:
Thanks to BMecha for the Gundam Line Art colouring tutorial 😀
I’ve paintedsome of the parts using Tamiya XF-63 German Grey:
That’s it for now 😀
The Hobby Heaven 
😀 Nice! Purple is the colour of the year.
I shall post mine soon… but haven’t take the photos yet @___@
Really? I didn’t know if there was such colour of the year LoL
Looking forward to see yours dude 😀
One thing, the German gray makes the parts looks, more solid.
Purple RX-78… yet another variant appears… v_v
those parts still needs more detailing, I just realize that there is this pistons that should go with a different color 😀
Purple *_* me likes
Me too, purple is my favorite color 😀
Woah cool color variation ^^ Can’t wait to see what you can come up with!! I love german grey! One of my favorite color for joints!
You think so too? I plan to finish this in a week 😀
Purple and white is a good peaceful choice of color. I am sure it look great. The shield in purple too? What about the laser saber? Purple like mace windu? 😛
The red color on the shield would be replaced with purple, the star is gonna stay yellow, and the outer frame of the shield is white. I dunno about the laser beam, but painting it Windu style would look nice 😀
ah purple, will see a new color variation now.
you’ll finish this week? that’s fast.
one week is the plan 😀
Hopefully there is no other important thing that intervene this project 😀
not using a WWII concept eh?
nope, I think a WWII concept could not match the classic feel of RX-78 😀
woot hoot! i wasnt expecting purple, very awesome color scheme dude! ^_^
you have decals for him? and im positive you will catch up and finish before me 😛 i think i require a few more months Lol have fun with the painting!
Well, it’s not actually an RX-78 decals, but yeah, I do have some leftover gunpla decal that I use in my previous project. I’m still searching for decals that are meant for RX-78 though 😀
Judging from the amount of modification that we apply, then yeah, I think yours would take a longer time to finish, but that’s the point why there is no time limit right? so we can really enjoy doing this 😀
Purple!!!
Yup, purple 😀
ohoho, interesting bro
warna ungu 😀
sy mau warna ijo….
kalo saya punya warna pink mah ini bakal dicat pink bro (serius :D) LoL
Can’t wait yours to start bos 😀
