1/100 Gundam Astray Green Frame Custom  Discussions »
I started this kit almost 1 year ago, and stopped....just recently picked it up to finally finish it.

I almost never finished this kit because of a mishap with a Testors airbrush that led me to never use said airbrush again.

What I did was take the 1/100 scale Astray Red frame kit, and painted all of the parts using testors sprays. I decided to add some kind of custom weapon, so I made forearm mounted beam sabers, connected by wires. I also removed the backpack and connected the shield to its back. I know that the Astray Manga has apparently created their own Green frame suit, but I wasn't aware until recently, so I'll pretend that this is an alternate suit or another wepaons set up...

aside from the huge airbrush mishap, I think it came out ok, and I learned a lot, which is all that matters...

Besides the odd seam line or painting mistake its really nice. Its very nice to look at and love the colour and finish. Good work...

yeah, that was unfortunately the paint incident that caused the uneven paint.

It looks a little sloppy in a couple areas, but it looks good overall. I really like how you got the highlights on the green armour. It really helps it stand out.

I can't really judge this model due to the photo but quite interested in whats in front of me now. This looks like a really interesting kit bash and custom paint job. Reguardless of the problems you have out lined I am sure it is a fine model. Let us know when the good photos are in...

I like you stealing Lucas's idea and rubbing vaseline over the lens of the camera before shooting! LOL, seriously, cool idea. I don't think the green is as bad as you think it is and I really like the Baraka / Epyon-esqe beam weapons!
