My First Painted Gunpla

MG RX-78-2 Version Ka is my first painted gunpla using airbrush at May 2007. I painted the custom colour by following a sample in Denggeki Hobby magazine. Everything look nice until the final steps. I tried to make a special effect by washed it with a sand colour. However, I didn't know I should use enamel colour with Zippo oil but I use Mr. Hobby colour with too much thinner instead. This make some original paint peeled and even the hand parts broken. :( And then, I tried to cover the defects by making some weathering effect; but make it uglier instead

If I did not apply the final effect, everything look fine to me. This final step really put all my hard works in ruin. Anyway, I had learned, learned something...
