RG Gundam Epyon (with decals)

I finally finished putting the decals on my RG Gundam Epyon. Even with the matte top coat I've flaked off two of them, but I'm still happy with the result. I love this kit.

    RG Epyon is a great RG kit and certainly underrated. I see online shops trying to get rid of them for 30% off or more periodically. The only thing to be wary of that I can remember when building it, is it has quite a few very small pieces.

    Not sure if the bridge is working, so here's my quoted comment:

    @wirelesswire@lemmy.zip Yeah I lost one of those very small pieces for a few hours. Fantastic kit. I would have been ecstatic to find one for 30% off; it's one of the first kits I put on my "wishlist".

    In addition to the very small pieces advice, I would also recommend putting decals and stickers on the wings even if one did not intend to put them anywhere else. They can look kinda boring without the color variation.

    This looks sick, I like that matte look. What kind of paint and top coat do you use? I'm actually excited for winter so that I can hibernate and do some building

    The bridge may be acting up, so here's my quoted reply:

    @jodanlime@midwest.social No paint except panel lining. For the top coat I used two airbrushed coats of Vallejo Matt Varnish.

    Looks like there was about an hour delay, at least for it to be publicly visible. Not sure when you got the notification, but I originally responded with my Mastodon account within 5 minutes of receiving your comment.

    I've been looking for a red one for my first try maybe this is it. Even if I do it poorly least I was looking forward to a nice red one.
