I love my new badger 155 anthem it does well on gundams and tanks

Darkearth74

That is a pretty sick Gundam
I got a pretty sweet limited edition one though, you gotta admit this one is pretty sweet.... Never been opened and it was the last one we had. It was a misprint from a long time ago but people LOVED them as you can probably guess. I gave them as stocking stuffers to all my good buddies this past year.

An epic video can be had with this... Wing riding the Leo into battle....

A walking tank driving a tank? Go for it

Got any left Eric???? Wow!!! Here is a photo of my Mega 1/48 Zaku II I am working on for a change of pace. It is walking armor right?!!!

Well for those of you wanting to make the move to a double action internal mix airbrush i would say its worth it,the qaulity of my work has improved and im still learning the ropes,i will tell you to pay close attention to the quality of your paint,as i had some nato green(tamy) that was kinda old,well when i got to the bottom of the jar i noticed small clumps,i thought my airbrush had been acting wierd and it seemed like i couldnt get a good clean line anymore,so i starting backflushing with cleaner and different pressures and low and behold a litte clump of paint backflushed into my pot,after that it began working properly again,i much prefer an articulate camo pattern over the broad grainy stroke that my old single action external mix provided and clean up is much easier after an process is developed,i think it was billipe and airbrushlers work that really motivated this move and thank you guys for posting your work

Darkearth74

Well this is what a noob can do with a decent airbrush not as nice as some of the other guys on here but im still learning,im tempted to stop and have the nato brown delete option,then start the weathering process,i dont know ....

Looks good! I'd say you're on a roll and should add the NATO brown.

Imex-Erik

I'll check around, a hobby store found out about them and I'm pretty sure he bought the last bit up. I have just one left sitting on my shelf, I'll go upstairs and look later.

I think it looks great as is actually! Much softer lines than stock colors. Great job!

Darkearth74

Oh,stock,you mean the prepainted heng long version of this tank Erik?they look so much alike i cant tell a hl leo from a tam. Leo ,lol.well eric this was an unpainted kit,that assembled with the metal chassis liner,i could imagine tighter lines with masking tape maybee...

Dude.... that's epic. Just epic. Always thought of the baddies I the original Gundam as kind of a Nazi army.

MAUS45

Yes, I used Wittman's "007" on the shield. I used a Iwata HP-CH dual action airbrush to paint it. Real nice dual action nad on sale at amazon for $162, free shipping right now. Hail Zeon, makes ya think NAZI, right?

Darkearth74

Is that a siphon feed or gravity feed,what type of compreesor do you like?

MAUS45

It is a gravity feed and I use an Iwata Smart Jet compressor. Got it on sale at Hobby Lobby.

Darkearth74

Nice

Darkearth74

Wow seems like ive been working this forever

Darkearth74

The sharpness of my work is somewhat distorted by the grainy picture quality

Darkearth74

I may repaint this in 5 years when my skills have sharpened

Darkearth74

I took a pic with my iphone 6 and it looked alottttttt better,but it exceeds my file limit,so oh well....

MAUS45

Looks Great!!!

mizuinu

My original gundam heavyarms on my JP. Never painted it

Darkearth74

Jp looks good with the dustdown ,heavyarms would look great with some weathering

mizuinu

On the JP, I let nature do the weathering. Ran it on dusty ground & then let it run while it is raining. Thinking of running it on ash next time. Heavyarms was built a more than decade ago, bought it with me when I came to the US
