MG Jegan

Full paint. Only the clear pieces didn’t change color. G-rework waterslides. The decal sheet is on par with ver. Ka kits I’ve built. So many waterslides in hard places. On compound curved surfaces. Over corners. Across panel gaps. Decals everywhere.

I feel like it could be piloted by someone with a name now and it’s no longer destined to be beam saber fodder.

Looks good! I have MG Jegan in the backlog that I'll get to at some point.

The decals made a night and day difference. I'm not usually a Jegan fan but you done made it respectable lol. Great work!

Thanks. Just shy of 10 hours on decals. I never exactly “liked” the Jegan. I bought it on impulse when it was on sale. After building the kit, I thought the design was cool but I hated the color. And to be 100% transparent, this is not my original design. I found it online and changed the colors a little bit.

Jeeeeeeebus. I commend your patience! I've got my RG Zeta standing by, ready for decals... the base stickers look like trash though, and I'm not sure I have the willpower to follow through on waterslides. Hell, I barely want to touch it because of the frame inconsistency.

Same lol. Never built mine though. >_>

I hated the color

From the start for me. I guess it follows with GMs originally being a light mint color but... yeah no. Mine was also intended for a redeco. Never made it past getting packed up to move, and then getting hopelessly backlogged.

Ain't nothing wrong with that. Everyone gets their inspiration from somewhere. My current dream custom is a G3-inspired Unicorn, with lavender/purple psychoframe. Someone else posted it as line art a few years back, but it was love at first sight.
