So what is Phase 3/Stage 3/Wave 3?

I must admit that I'm a very poor blogger because I don't really remember what I wrote before and I don't really like to refer back to my previous entries for reference. As a result of that, I forgot most of the terms that I planned to use back from the past.

Anyway, phase 3/stage 3/wave 3 is another stage where I tried to improve on my modeling technique. The following is a list of things that happened during this phase/stage/wave.
  1. Acquire an airbrush compressor set from Venus Art.
  2. Learning how to airbrush the model.
  3. Applying water slide decal.
  4. Minor modification (on Strike Freedom, Hi-Nu Gundam, Strike Noir, and RX-78 Gundam).
  5. Color mixing.
  6. Highlighting (RX-78 Gundam only).
  7. Using enamel color to fill the panel line (Strike Noir, Infinite Justice, all VF-25 Messiah, and RX-79 Gundam only).
  8. Dry brushing (on 2 of the VF-25 Messiah Valkyrie, but does not succeed).
And to end this stage, here are some pictures of some of the kits that I did.

Next, I'll be going to work on my latest PG kit. Currently I'm working on the PG 1/60 Astray Red Frame, and then I'll be working on the PG 1/60 Double O Raiser. Stay tune.
