Gunpla TV – Episode 40 – Ryan Joins the Show & Boss Builds is Back!

We decided to shake things up a little bit with Gunpla TV with the introduction of a new segment on the show and just as we were sitting down to film it we were interrupted and things took an unexpected turn. Leave a comment below, what do you want HLJ’s President Scott to build? In this episode: – It’s a secret.  We cannot tell you which one just yet. You’ll have to watch ...

Gunpla TV – Episode 34 – Building a Kotobukiya Armored Core kit!

Giant fighting robots that aren’t Gundam? Yes, they exist and Kotobukiya makes a lot of them. In this episode we take a kit from one of Kotobukiya’s more popular mecha lines, Armored Core, and show you what it is all about. Being a snap-fit plastic model kit there are lots of similarities between Armored Core and Gundam kits but there are some aspect unique to Kotobukiya that we though...

Gunpla TV – Episode 28 – PG Strike Freedom WIP Part 5

In this episode of Gunpla TV we look at not one, but two sections.  Not only do we show the PG Strike Freedom’s head complete with LED, but also the unique design and assembly of the hands right down to the individual finger sections which reminds us, once again, why this is a Perfect Grade.

As we approach the end of the 2010 we thought we would take a look back at the year that was for Gundam model kits. Bandai was true to form and unleashed a large amount of product this past year, even more than normal as part of their Gunpla 30th Anniversary so, while we can’t show you every Gundam model kit Bandai brought out in 2010 we can definitely show you some highlights.   This video ...

RG RX-78-2 Build Part 6

The decals took a long time. There are so many and they are so small it is a battle of attrition. Some of them need to be modified if you want your RG to look like the Shizuoka Gundam. As that is what I wanted my RG RX-78-2 to look like I would need to put the Real Grade onto a base.  Luckily for me, I picked up an SD Real Gundam project kit at the Shizuoka Gundam site which meant I already had a ...

RG RX-78-2 Build Part 5

With all sections of the Real Grade RX 78 2 completed I turned my attention to the panel lining phase.  If you haven’t seen the Real Grade up close you might not know the amount of panel lines this thing comes molded with.  It’s amazing that Bandai could put this many lines of this size on this kit.  But how to bring them out?  I turned to the September issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine ...

RG RX-78-2 Build Part 4

When starting on the arms the first thing you have to do is take the flexible frame apart. But don’t throw anything away! What you have to do is pull the top part of the frame off. This part is actually going to be used in the assembly of the shield later on so keep that piece handy. Very ingenious of Bandai if you ask me. This will leave you with the arm frame which, much like the leg frame...
