BT was pretty much the inspiration for this color scheme.

Thanks! The ERA on the legs and pauldrons are part of the kit itself. I haven't watched any Build Fighters, but the pilot (?) of the Zaku Amazing uses tank parts to kitbash his Char's Zaku.

I'm really loving the Build Fighters series though, as I feel more inclined to kitbash and customize compared to more mainline universes (though my Gquuuuuux kits will all have custom colors).

It is in fact from the Ez-SR, though making an articulating arm for it took a bit of digging through the parts bin.

Thank you!

I bought some of that panel liner as well, and was really pleased with the results. I'm curious if using it over Tamiya Black PL would let me get the best of both worlds, as I feel like the Stedi PL dries somewhat transparent? I could be misremembering tho.

I wish I had a smaller decal for it, but it worked out nevertheless.

Thanks! The minute I saw it, I couldn't shake that impression. I originally wanted to use the cannons from the Amazing Kampfer, but I was late on pulling the trigger on the only remaining one at my local hobby shop.

Worked out OK tho 😁

Thanks man! I was burned out for a while, but this build got me going again.

The orange piping was particularly satisfying, and while I wish I'd added some gray to the blue to desaturate it some, as well as redo some of the decals, I'm nevertheless very satisfied with the results.

I'm sure Max would love the color scheme.

That said, the effect under UV light is fricken AWESOME! I definitely need to get some sort of stand or attachment for it so I can free up a hand for a spot light.

That said, feeling a bit burnt out, with my current backlog of 4 filled with ambitious builds.

So next up is a simple Moon Gundam

Lastly, the pics in the same order as above. Snapseed is doing a lot of heavy lifting, and the end result isn't too different.

Ultimately I'll go with the new set up as I'm sure more advantages will reveal themselves as I take pictures at more varied angles.

More Vidar pics soon.

2/3

The new set up, using 2x 5⅜ wooden dowels, 5⅜ copper t-connector, parts of a dollar store tripod, and black spandex.

Resulting pics. Note the darker background and continuous gradient.

So far all pics haven't had amy post processing.

The Origins GC has better waist articulation, as all the Origins kits do, but I was surprised at how thiccer the Origins GC is compared to the HGUC.

He chonky!

Both were fun in their simplicity!
