Amazing work! Can't believe the shine on that finish

[@themodellermatt2309]

Thank you very much!

[@FallyingHigh]

I keep replaying your video for the tips hahaha. The end result looks so good! The attention to details with the putty, masking tape and decals!! I have a Gurren lagann Moderoid and I'm scared of touching it and screwing it up so I bought a couple of gunplas, wego and tamotu to practice on and get comfortable first, still have a long way to go hahah.

[@themodellermatt2309]

Thanks! Gunplas are a good place to start, especially the more recent ones. Just enjoy!

Is that Asuka made out of resin? I am planning on painting one soon but I don't know what material was used for her

[@themodellermatt2309]

Yes it is. Have fun with the build!

[@MyJamjar]

From start to finish how long did this build take?

[@themodellermatt2309]

It took me about 3 months, roughly 4 to 5 hours each week. The Asuka resin alone took 2 weeks.
