Guide for Beginners: Shading

Image
Its been a while since i've done one of these and i dont want to ramble so let's jump right into it. What is Shading/Highlighting? Simply put shading is a paint technique that simulates Shadows , which can make an object look three dimensional. Technically speaking Shading and Highlighting refer to the same thing, when working off your base coat a darker color will be a shade and a brighter one will be a highlight. There are several different styles of shading/ highlighting, each with their own pros and cons. Panel Highlighting - The most prevalent style used in Gundam painting. Each part or subsection is treated as its own "shade area". This style creates a great amount of contrast and so is very visually interesting . Its down side is that is does not convey a sense of realism . Positional Highlighting - The "Miniature Painting" style. The artist visualizes a point of light and highlights the entire model as a single "s...

A Gundam builder's guide to IPMS

Image
I've been building models for over 10 years now and competing for close to 5. In that time I've learned some hard, painful lessons but I've also made some of the best friends of my life. Competing in model building is a very unique and rewarding experience and I hope to better equip you for what is to come! I want to take a moment to say thank you to those of you support me on  Patreon ! If you're not subscribed yet, go check it out and consider signing up for as little as 1$ per month. I raffle off some of my completed works once per year and take tutorial requests from all patrons!

But walk around the sci-fi sectiont at an IPMS show and you’ll almost certainly hear someone complaining that “these IPMS guys just don’t know what they’re doing whe...

Guide for beginners: Gunpla build process

Image
If you are a total beginner in this hobby you may have trouble visualizing the build process in total. The amount of steps and the order that you must do them in can be overwhelming. Let's take a deeper look into each of the steps and why they are done in the order that they are. I made a handy flow chart to help you see where you are in your own build process. If you're lost just think about what you did last and follow the arrow! Black arrows denote the next step, blue arrows denote a choice, green arrows denote do this if you haven't already. Whether you decide to do a fully painted build or just a casual snap, the first step is always to inspect the kit. Are all the parts present and in good condition? Is the manual undamaged? A cursory glance over your components may save you the trouble of having to return an opened and partially started kit. Reputable hobby shops will always take returns on kits missing parts but they may not take something half b...
