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.

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:
I think I got both replies?
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 don't actually have notifications on, I just check my app a few times a day. Notifications stress me out.
@jodanlime No paint except panel lining. For the top coat I used two airbrushed coats of Vallejo Matt Varnish.
I usually only build UC kits, but I might have to make an exception for a few Gundam Wing models.
@jodanlime The RG Wing Gundam (TV) is pretty highly regarded from what I understand, and in addition to this Epyon I've also built the RG Wing Gundam Zero EW and had a lot of fun despite the issues inherent in early Real Grade kits.
I have an RG Sazabi and Nu Gundam that I want to build this winter so I can do some painting in the spring. After that I have an MG RX78 that I won in a drawing at the local shop that needs some love.
@jodanlime I think the RG Sazabi will be the next kit I hunt down, since I already managed to find a discounted RG Zeong. I hope you have fun with each of those kits!
