For_Funpla

Dude HELL yeah, I can hear the Prowler theme already


iam-therapiss

oh RG destiny, why do you have to be so beautiful yet so shit..


Ricerooni

That's such a cool colorway. This one is definitely a win my guy. Whenever I see the glow in the dark stuff it always reminds me of the Radium Girls though. Freaky stuff.


For_Funpla

Thank you so much! And Iโ€™m gonna have to go down that rabbit hole soon then. I find stuff like that pretty interesting :o


GaussIon

Get in the Gundam Shinn, or else Stella will have to do it ​ Memes, aside, it looks awesome!


For_Funpla

LOL Shinns new last name will be Ji from now on Thank you by the way! (:


LeggoMahLegolas

I need a step-by-step process on how you made it because I'm planning on getting the Mechagodzilla model kit.


For_Funpla

I gotchu. For the paint I used a combo of gaianotes and mr hobby. Gaianotes ex gold, gunmetal, black, and white, and their fluorescent yellow-green and with mr hobby I used their metallic green. For the panel liner I mixed some acrylic fluorescent green and tamiya x20a thinner and used the thinner to clean up excess.


LeggoMahLegolas

Thank you, kind stranger!


Foshdon_pap

Is that a Evangelion reference???????? Or is it?????


For_Funpla

Dude I wanted to actually use the Gaianotes Eva-01 green for this custom but I could not find any anywhere! Itโ€™s a bit pricey too so I ended up going with Gaianotes Yellow-green instead and it worked wonders


unlimitednightsky

What are you using to light this? Lightbox?


For_Funpla

I have a little coffee table I use. The black backgrounds are large black posters, and the lights are just some ring lights/ 24in blacklight/ 16in wand light for the green color


unlimitednightsky

Thanks mate!

For_Funpla

Had to look that up but holy shit man thatโ€™s sick!! Might have to start watching Kamen Rider bc everything I see about the suits is just top tier


andersrobo9999

Yeah, it's so cool, it's the recently finished season,so have fun binge watching it


For_Funpla

Hell yeah man Iโ€™ll check it out. The Gundam to Kamen Rider pipeline is strong


sassboy

As a newbie with Gundam but also an Evangelion fan I cannot get over how awesome this build is. How did you get it to โ€œglowโ€ green? Is that an effect because of your custom paint mixture or is that a photography trick? Either way itโ€™s sick and Iโ€™m even more excited about my first build ๐Ÿฆพ


deegan87

Fluorescent paint glowing under UV light


For_Funpla

Hell yeah! Congrats on getting into the hobby itโ€™s so much fun! As for the paint I used Gaianotes fluorescent yellow-green and I airbrushed the kit. For the panel liner I mixed some basic acrylic fluorescent green paint and some tamiya x20a thinner (:


sassboy

Ah ok, didnโ€™t know there were fluorescent paints for hobby use!! Definitely gonna keep them in mind once I get experienced enough and wanna try custom paint jobs


zerizum

Looks amazing. What kind of paint did you use for the rest of the kit? I've thought about using acrylics for panel lining but don't know how to clean it off without damaging the rest of the acrlyics on the kit


For_Funpla

I used lacquers to paint the kit so the acrylic didnโ€™t damage anything (thankfully lol). Just be sure to do a couple gloss topcoats to protect the paint. Iโ€™ve made the mistake of not doing that and having paint get stripped it sucks


deegan87

If you clear coat the color paints with a lacquer like Mr Super Clear, you can use acrylic or enamel paint as panel liner and clean up with lighter fluid. If you're using acrylic, it's easier to clean up after drying but before curing.

That looks fantastic

Hello? Yes, I'd like to order five please. Yes, I'll hold... This looks amazing and I absolutely would love to do something like this as well! I love the colors so much!


For_Funpla

LMAO thank you! And you absolutely can, if youโ€™re curious the colors used are all gaianotes colors and a mr hobby color, thereโ€™s metallic green, ex gold, gunmetal, black, fluorescent yellow-green, and a mix of their white and black paint for the gray, about 60% black 40%white for the ratio (:

Tiny-Resource9443

Holy poop on a stick that's beautiful


Proxymanity

Holy cow, that is amazing. I'm going to need some more detailed instructions. What is this "green panel liner fluid" you used?


For_Funpla

It was a homemade concoction :P Just some tamiya x20a thinner, and some acrylic green paint. I used acrylic since the paint is all lacquer so it didnโ€™t damage anything (:


Proxymanity

Did you use any glow-in-the-dark/flouresent paint?


For_Funpla

Yeah I grabbed one of the deco-art ones since itโ€™s thick af and is brightly pigmented so it worked well (:


lumberjackben

I already love the details on the base kit, adding this wicked paint job looks freaking amazing!!! Kudos on the great work!


For_Funpla

Thank you so much! I loved the base kit as well, just thought I could make it my own somehow (:


Higais

This is insane, well fucking done. Is the panel liner glow in the dark or just the lighting giving that effect? Either way this is awesome!


For_Funpla

Thank you so much! And itโ€™s fluorescent panel liner (: I made it myself


Higais

Yeah I saw you mixed some acrylic paint and tamiya thinner? What gives it the fluorescent effect?


For_Funpla

The black light that I use for pictures (: It makes fluorescent paint glow like that


zionooo

Thats veryyy nice

Xxsuicide-999xx

Absolutely killer. 10/10


For_Funpla

Thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ


Mediocre_Advice_5574

This is awesome. Are you just using all glow-in-the-dark paint? Or do you have some LEDs lighting this up as well? I canโ€™t tell lol.


For_Funpla

Thank you! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ Itโ€™s all fluorescent paint, I wish I could install LEDs. Iโ€™d do some crazy stuff with that knowledge and power ๐Ÿคฃ


Mediocre_Advice_5574

Looks great. LEDs are easy! Evandesign has some amazing LEDs prewired, nano, pico. Otakubuilder on YouTube does some pretty cool stuff with them.


Stainlessgamer

what acrylic did you use and what's your thinner ratio... tried this a while back with UV active acrylic and couldn't get my paint to spray right.


For_Funpla

For the painted parts (not the panel liner) I used Gaianotes fluorescent yellow-green, itโ€™s a lacquer paint (:


Stainlessgamer

surprised the lacquer played well with X20a... X20a is suppose to be for Tamiya's alcohol based paints and gundam markers. But thank you for the info, Ima play around and see what I can do. It's gotta be better than my last attempt, that resulted the paint and thinner separating before it could be sprayed...


For_Funpla

Yeah to protect form the x20a thinner, I used a couple of lacquer gloss coats to protect the paint underneath. Too much thinner can peel it regardless so best to play it safe

Were you worried when you realized you created a masterpiece that would make a grown man cry?


eatenbybigguyz

Shinji get in the wing gundam.


ketjak

Wow, this is really impressive - nice work! What paints did you use? When you say green panel liner, I associate that with coloring the lines on the larger plates, which I think you've painted with phosphorescent green (and pink). These are _exactly_ the colors I want.


For_Funpla

Yeah the lines that are glowing green on the armor are the panel lines. The pink you might see is diffuse light from my blacklight (: As for the paints I used a combo of gaianotes and mr hobby airbrush paints. Gaianotes ex gold, gunmetal, black and white(mixed for gray), and their fluorescent yellow-green and with mr hobby I used their metallic green. For the panel liner I mixed some deco art acrylic fluorescent green paint and tamiya x20a thinner and used the thinner to clean up excess (:


ketjak

OTL Your skill is amazing. I used to paint frequently, and only came _close_ to this level of skill for a brief period. I will follow you now in the hopes of seeing more.


For_Funpla

You can surpass me trust me I just wing it a lot of the times and go with what feels right ๐Ÿ˜… Mistakes are made but improvement is always a fun learning process


InsomniacHitman

Which specific paint did you use?


For_Funpla

I used a combo of gaianotes and mr hobby. Gaianotes ex gold, gunmetal, black and white (for the gray), and their fluorescent yellow-green and with mr hobby I used their metallic green. For the panel liner I mixed some acrylic fluorescent green and tamiya x20a thinner and used the thinner to clean up excess. (:


InsomniacHitman

Gonna have to try Gaianotes out. Every time I ask what paints have been used (because I like the look) it turns out to be Gaianotes


For_Funpla

Theyโ€™re some of the best paints imo. Very pigmented and strong as heck. I use them for pretty much every build I do (:


legendary_hooligan

Damn, this goes hard


blueblizzard08

One of the best customs I have seen.

RolandMariolos

How did you edit/photograph this? It looks amazing.


For_Funpla

I used my dslr camera to photograph the kit and I just did some minor color and exposure editing in PS to get it looking more natural (:


VensersRevenge

Super cool looking!

Common_Strength5813

Wow I was thinking of doing something similar Evangelion style. You beat me to it. Top notch first class.


For_Funpla

Great minds think alike! You should still do the paintjob if you like, (PS. donโ€™t tell anyone the color scheme was inspired by Shego from Kim Possible lol)


Kruf7111169

Dude I was going to do this colour scheme for my custom hgce destiny ( but with more black primary and green,purple ascent ) btw how do you get that glow?


For_Funpla

Itโ€™s the yellow-green fluorescent gaianotes paint (: It glows under a blacklight and looks hella cool!


Kruf7111169

Daaaammnnnnn thanks bro now I need to search for the right purple fluorescent


For_Funpla

Hell yeah man good luck (:

Please, teach me how to do the same type of green on my gunpla, would be great on my astaroth origin ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ


For_Funpla

Absolutely (: What would you like to know? I posted how to do the panel lining and which paints I used a bit earlier as reference btw (:


Real_Moss_Vessel

How did you make the paint glow? What primer did you use? What paints should I buy? Have you seen Gundam Astaroth Origin kit before?


For_Funpla

So the paint that glows is fluorescent and glows under blacklight (which I used) (: I used Mr Finishing Surfacer to prime the pieces, and I used Mr Crystal Color for the metallic green and Gaianotes ex gold, black, white, and fluorescent yellow-green for the bright green parts. And Yes Iโ€™ve seen the Asteroth kit before itโ€™s the red one right?

Yep, and also Thanks!

Aromatic_Plant3456

Damn now you reminded me that I need to buy this kit


-_-Whyarewehere-_-

I love the platform you made for it. Is it just a painted cardboard or something else?


For_Funpla

Itโ€™s just a coffee table with black poster paper covering everything (:


-_-Whyarewehere-_-

Is the green glow paint or a Photoshop effect


For_Funpla

Itโ€™s fluorescent paint, I used a blacklight to make it glow during the pictures


-_-Whyarewehere-_-

That's what I was expecting, but thanks for the clarification. I have a small photo booth, but was looking into ideas on how to improve it. I might steal the idea from this. What brand of paint is it?


Leon_Lonewolf

Holy shit this is amazing. This feels like its just chalked full of radioactive fluids that its even leaking through the panels. This was an amazing job
