A collection of my Gunpla builds, painting experiments, and weathering projects. Follow along as I explore new techniques, tackle different grades and mobile suits, and share the successes and occasional mistakes that help me improve with every build.
Preparing for my first online mecha painting competition means stepping well outside my comfort zone. After building the Necrosknight, the real challenge begins, planning a fully painted finish and creating a dramatic diorama depicting a battle against a Rosan Lancer. Join me as I turn a straight forward build into my most ambitious display piece yet.
After deciding the stock colours on Guel's Dilanza HG felt a little flat, I set out to create a mobile suit that looked battle-worn but meticulously maintained. In this tutorial, I walk through my simple weathering process, from subtle colour variation and layered metallic scratches to panel lining, scratch-built details, and the finishing touches that brought the model to life.
Building Guel's Dilanza HG reminded me that not every hobby session needs to be about pushing my skills. Sometimes the best projects are the simplest ones, relaxing builds, a small repair, and the chance to share the hobby with someone special. That's what this hobby is really about.
After building the Rosan Lancer and experimenting with the composition, I've completely changed the story I want the finished piece to tell. With the Lancer's spear through the Necrosknight and the scythe caught in the Lancer's shield, both warriors are locked in a brutal final exchange. Now it's time to bring the scene to life with paint, battle damage — and possibly a very villainous red cape.
