Custom Model practice images « Thread Started on Nov 5, 2009, 5:43pm »
Well I tried my hand at the extra Freedom Gundam model I had lying around and came out with this for the head. All of it was painted except for the eyes which is the sticker. The only issue is that my camera has issues of getting a good picture of something this small.

Dude......
Holy sh*t dude...
That is AMAZING for a first timer like yourself. Even though the photos are blurry a bit, it looks great! The panel lining you did looks so much better than being done in Gundam Marker. Though it does look a bit uneven on the right side (a bit too thick), but can be adjusted just by using a design knife and scratching it away. As for the eye sticker, it kinda looks a bit lop sided but from far away the eyes are alright. I recommend painting the whole eye section (minus the chin part!) flat black, then painting the eyes in a green/yellow/etc color you want.
Just do some minor touch up work, and it'll look even better! Congrats on your first custom, even if its a trial run with some parts. The next one you go in store is gonna look great!
