Description A little something which I have been working on since mid Mar. And finally finished it when I was on a photography haitus. Glad for the break from photography which actually allowed me to finished it.
This is my first model kit using airbrushing. And after many trials and errors. I guess I must say that I am very happy with this first.
More to come soon.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Probably my favorite custom. The camo colors look so sharp. This is wicked man, love it.

Very nice! Airbrushing can be tricky at first. You entered this into Zoids Poison's custom contest right? I thought I saw it over there.

Yes I did. And airbrushing is a real pain when doing it for the first time. Thanks.

You definitely did a great job for it being the first. I'm still working on my entry to the contest. Completely repainted my HMM Blade Liger Mirage. HMMs in general are a pain to paint!

Ya I can totally understand the feeling actually. I actually intended to repaint the HMM Mirage actually cos dun really like the colors. I have actually build one already. But it would take a really long time. So shall leave that for another time and did the HMM CW AC instead. They are not only pain to paint but also to fix. LOL

Yeah that's the reason I repainted Mirage. I didn't like the color scheme either. I reduced the amount of colors to only white, red, black, brown, and gold. I think I really hated that light blue the most, lol. I just made the colors a lot more unified looking. They are a pain to fix! I super glued so many pieces on my Mirage so he doesn't fall apart too bad anymore. Except the legs, I don't think you can really do anything to stop those from popping off the pegs D:

haha...glue is our next best friend when fixing a HMM. I think I broke a number of pieces of the Mirage when I first fixed it. That was why I got another.

haha...the fins, parts of the head and some other parts in the body. Yeah, I have very rough fingers. Nothing that glue can't fix & also screwed up the panel lining. So in my frustration, got another one. I actually buy 2 of each kit. Now I think I will need 3 of each. LOL
