HGM Neue Ziel WIP 05
Yesterday as i was packing away most of my Gundams, i looked at my Neue Ziel and decided to try and finish the battle damage i intended for him before putting it away. I spent about an hour quickly experimenting a new technique i thought of.
Gato vs Solar System II
Step one; Paint Effects
Wanted a damaged and burnt look, dabbed some Silver followed by Real Touch Brown. Then dabbed some Grey followed by Real Touch Black.
Not perfect but i am working fast at this point.
Covered a nice area with same effect.
Step two; Meltdown
Heres my thinking in this process, best way to get melted armor effect is to melt the armor(plastic) lol
What i did was use a lighter to heat the area a few seconds at a time, then i quickly used a small screwdriver to tap and mold the heated plastic. It turned out pretty good!
Each other area acted differently under heat. The back melted quickly while the side and base were harder to reshape.
I think this was a successful experiment. Neue Ziel survived this attack from the Solar System II and advanced right into the gunpla box for storage ^^;
At a later date, I plan to eventually refine this technique and possible give him a bit more damage as well as a touch up in paint effects ^_^

Rock Lee's Lotus 
Wow, nice damages! But using lighter to burn the plastic directly emits lots of toxic fumes… Not good for health^^
precautions were taken! ^^ in this case i was able to slowly heat the plastic without burning. modding gunpla can be so dangerous to health lol
nice effects~!
thanks dude!
Feels like the MA just popped out from the anime to your desk, with those effects. Impressive.
😀
Gato was able to escape critical damage by popping out of the anime at the right time! 😛
the battle damage is good.
maybe a need for diorama next time.
hello, dropping by again to let you know, I’m running a new website. hope you don’t mind to update my link in blogroll, thanks.
thanks! very tempted to make an attempt at a diorama with this guy, will sketch out some ideas in the future ^^
Holy smokes!! I’m very impressed by the effect. XD But yeah, like Marzz said, it’s best to do it in a very well-ventilated area and not too much at one go. xD But really, it looks awesome! *_*
thanks! ^_^ yup, i always have to work in well ventilated area with my type of battle damages lol XD
im surprised how well this worked out though, controlling the heat is the hardest part.
I like the paint effect!!! Very nicely done. Looks damaged.. cool!
thanks, was testing out a random blotting idea lol aiming for chipped paint effects which i love but hard to create without real paints ^^;
you should post your whole collection ^^”
it looks good, nice detailed =)
had a lot of success trying new stuff with this kit ^^
i have all my recent gunpla works in the Gundam link under Pages, check em out if you like!
man.. you’re getting better and better!! i’ve learnt alot from you.. wad we can find in our house has so much gunpla property! lolx.. love the new look.. =)
always good to have successful experiments! are you ready to do some weathering to your kits? 😛
think outside the box with household items, never know what other things they can be useful for lol
badass you need GPO3dendrobium now 😛
Lol still not a fan of the dendrobium but i would gladly accept donations for a possible diorama!! XD
whoa, cool burnt effects bro!
so you are also using heat and metal gaia memory 😀
yes! kamen rider w skills in action 😀
Lol that means my other bullet hole damage was with trigger gaia memory haha
woah nice effect… btw what is the HGM scale rocklee? 1/400?
thanks! for this particular MA its 1/550~! he is massive.
Great job! You’re really good with this technique. That looks really cool!
thanks! im glad it worked out well, it was a do or die kinda experiment like with most of the battle damage i try out lol
Regarding Battle damage, i was intending some to be added to Ms Seto over at my side, what do you think of using a Hot Screw Driver to poke and recreate Bullet marks?
cool! i havent tried that technique personally but i hear it works well.
first i would suggest to mark out the areas you want the damage to go, then start poking a small area little by little to see how it turns out.
and maybe adding some grey or black with markers if needed after that.
good luck, i look forward to seeing your results! ^^
Okay!! Protip absorbed!
did you ever attempt that battle damage zh3us?
Omg… I dont watch gundam anymore, but Neue Ziel was my fav ms of all time (0083 ftw >_<). Quite nostalgic. Awesome battle damage.
thanks K, Neue Ziel is my fav too but a while back i saw an image of the mobile armor from the unicorn series and i was blown away! so there might be a contender for that top spot now lol
I like the way you think man, to make a melted armor, the easiest way is indeed by melting the plastic
real damage! lol it is the easiest but like the others mention gotta be careful of the fumes ^^;
(late comment~)
Woah, that’s nice! It looks really well done too. =)
Too bad I wouldn’t dare do that to my Gunpla except maybe those ‘cheaper’ ones… unless I accidentally released the plastic fumes which might end up poisoning me instead. XP
super late reply!
thanks rndm! lol thats one type of poisoning you wanna stay away from 😛
At first look I think it is Kshatriya.
ya the are similar, big, green and menacing lol
