SD BB Senshi 00 Gundam

December 21, 2008 | by Jacques | Finish Line

Phew, finally completed the SD BB Senshi 00 Gundam after weeks of toiling. Below are the photos of my fruits of labour. Enjoy!

SD 00 Gundam BB Senshi No.316

After the entire project, I can finally answer that all the time and effort spent on sanding, priming, etc are definitely worth it. Yes, it’s painstaking and time-consuming journey but at the end of the day when I see the finished article and think back about; I can give myself a pat on the shoulder & tell myself; it’s a job well-done. Never mind the inadequacies & flaws that are showing right, they are lessons to be learn & reminders to myself on what should be done and avoided in future. By the way, the lighting at the moment is inadequate but will have to make do for now. I plan to do a re-shoot when I get the light tent done when I have time. Also, I may have to temporarily suspend my airbrushing activities till I find an acceptable solution to the dust & paint issues. I just didn’t work out right, even after shifting the equipment to the bathroom. It was with the bright sun that I was able to see the extent of the fumes covering the entire kitchen o.O”..

@Vaye.

congrats on your completion, did you post photos of your completed work online?

The legs were the toughtest for me, had to do lots of masking. :s

00 MSs tend to grow on you as time passes. Yeah, if masking can't be done neatly, it's better to leave it and just do the panel lines.

Vaye

I just finished BB 00 Gundam too
The hardest parts for me were the legs and the swords
because it was the first time i had to draw lines on paint
i am really happy with the end product tho

now i am starting exia, which i think is going to be even more of a pain in the ass
for the drawing lines on paint

I didn't paint the entire gundam like you tho, like leaving the blue as blue, white as white, looks cleaner imo

@Blade,
thank you! :)
I wouldn't say it's flawless though; the shots just happen not to feature them in super close-ups, where they all start showing up.
Nonetheless, really appreciate your continued support and encouragement.

@Gordon,
As Blade has mentioned the twin GN-Drives are mounted on the shoulder, and pivot to the front, side, and back of the shoulder in this instance of SD version. Really odd coming from Bandai's side; did they omit the joints to save themselves some trouble?

@evolution,
I see, thanks for the suggestion. my room unfortunately is facing the common corridor/walkway that is shared with my neighbours. Trying to get a spray booth to solve the problem, till then I'll have to temporarily suspend my airbrushing session unless I succumb to temptation of course :)

@lelangir,
thank you. :) So you have stopped doing them anymore?

Blade

Told you it would turn out nice!

Overall, it looks like you never screwed up.

Flawless.

@gordon
The twin GN-Drives are mounted on the shoulder, and pivot to the front, side, and back of the shoulder.

gordon

looks good. but why is the 2 GN drives on the shoulder? shouldn't it be on the back?

evolution

Good job! I gotta haul my lazy bum and continue with mine. My solution to the fume issue is to paint right at my window outwards. I happen to have a fan several metres away blowing in the same direction which might help a bit.

lelangir

Very cool, good job! I remember seeing some Gundam model commercials on TV a loonggg time ago and they were cool, but I never really got into models (a few airplanes here and there but nothing much).
