1/144 RGM-79 "GM" One last standing

[eugene]

I start this project in April for joining a fb 1/144 competition, i was thinking, if i never join any competition i will never learn something new. so i was like, why not(even i don't have any idea on fully painting and making a diorama.)

 
I do this to most of my model b4 snapfit as i want to remove it more easily.

 
I also buy a kotobukiya gun for my diorama


by using Photoshop..I create a guild-line for me for the modify part



start to cut line



the compare



for the head part, as i want to do the seamless.i cut the mask shield into half so i can re-install back after the paint

leg part

the b4 and after

the tutorial i made

as time goes by and i very busy with my work. i have no time to complete the whole model.I only get to finish the base




After Two-three month been place it in my box,i finally bring it out and continue it after my FA-78 gundam. (by the way i get the last place of the competitionas i dint finish it.)



using photoshop. i create a colour skim tryout

paint paint


after apply waterdecal



B4 and After

kotobukiya gun



after this.i go shopping some material for the diorama

cant find any tree to use. so i buy this one to replace

can't find any tree material, the one i buy b4 not suitable. so i buy the flower use sponge. it come out kind nice

repaint the base

Think I seen this a week ago if my memory serve me right....You really spend quite an effort in producing this dio, I really like the overall weaterhing on both the GM and the one with the gattling gun really caught my attention....

Only a few pointer

1) The greenery, its a bit too monotone, I saw your WIP have a few color variation for the green, should have use all to create different color of greeneries.

2) The exposed cables on the fallen GM is a bit too clean and new...might have to touch up abit

3) The separation of the armor (placement of plaplates) needs more references ....good try thou

Looking forward to see more kis from you , Good Luck for the compy and enjoy your hobby!!!

Dear Neosigma,
ya. the greenly thing is only monotone. when i try to add the lighter color it look kinder fake(cos the light green i have is like neo green. and other green i have the texture is bigger then the one i use)so i leave it like that, need to go buy some diorama materiel to made it more realism. thanks for the comment. i will keep it going XD

Nice Diorama!
I like the photoshop method you used!I shall try using your method too!

Some comment solely on my personal reference as follow:-
1. Entire dio composition looks pretty decent except missing couples of details like irregular foliage and trees. Random natural colors would be an advantage.
2. Battle damage area ought to be pay more a little attention such as adding burnt marks to amputated torso, legs and etc. Bullet holes seems a little over done and too consistent which giving audience some doubtfulness.
3. Damage GM lying on the floor posture can be improvise further as the moment it's kinda stiff and unnatural. It's more like putting it on the dio base rather than a laying pose.
4. Drybrush need to be more subtle and it could give you a 'very rough finishing' results. Spotted some finger-prints too! Need to be more careful.

All the above is just my nitpick and hope you don't mind for my direct criticism. On the bright side, you got alot of potential and room of improvement in your hardwork! Keep it up and hope to see your next diorama project.

Whoa! I like it very much!

Especially your patience to make the brass rod into hollow. Probably the battle damage a lil too symmetrical.

Other than that, I think this diorama is full of fun!

hope to see more from you
