All right, it was a long-long way 😀 . Finally I can say that my Jigabachi AV model is finished. I added a few modifications to the model and quite glad how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it. And you can see more photos in my profile.
Thanks @Nick, funny you should mention that since i really didn’t think about it before i chose the paint scheme, lucky for me it worked out. But you got me thinking about the color scheme im debating about for my nu-gundam Ver Ka and if the water slides will get lost in the color. Since there are 2 color water slides for that kit im going to have…[Read more]
Need a little advice.. I started working on my Zaku II red comet.. I’ve lined all the panels.. here it is.. is it better to flat coat the parts before assembly or after? I’ve never gone this far with a gunpla model before. My hyaku shiki was the first one I panel lined (what a panel lines it has). Thanks in advance!
If you’re not concerned about the time and more paint issue, I would go for the individual parts. Then you get the best cover and no parts will be left uncovered. It will also help stiffen the joints.
If paint and time is an issue, you could do them limb by limb. So take off the legs and arms, spray them when they are straight and all bent. This…[Read more]
Time is not an issue. The longer it takes the better the results. I’m just a bit scared to attempt weathering and dry brushing. Maybe on a cheaper kit. Or better yet one of my old ones.
Thanks for the advice and letting me know about the Q&A section.. I’ll look there from now on.
Made my first gunpla kit a few days ago it was the rg strike freedom I painted to red parts a metallic enamel black and positioned the skirts in the back and the detachable guns in the style of v2 gundam anyway here’s the final product mind the screw ups xD
For your 1st Gundam a RG, and the Strike Freedom… You did a great job, regardless of the screw ups.
It’s probably the hardest grade to begin with!
Anyway welcome to the world of Gunpla
Just finished my ZZ/Unicorn Ver. of the Capule. Comparison with my Turn A Kapool. These kits are great for the 4$ price tag and the best 8$ I have spent in a long time! Hope to see a HG of this kit in the future but till then this is a great addition to my collection.
Just started building gundam again.. here is my first finished kit.. ms-06s is next. Any suggestions are gladly welcome.. I’m getting further into it with panel lining and such.. thanks for looking!
Gold…. Nice….
Glad you took up building gunpla again. Never can have enough “brothers in arms” LOL
One tip when you’re going to do panel lines and or painting, do some research on which paints and clear coats to use. Need any help, just post some questions, we’re here to help.
Enjoy your builds
not gunna lie i very much dislike the victory build on that the articulation was just baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad no offense to anyone whos luvs the kit including you
The kit looks great once assembled and the gimmick is great, but in terms of poseability its lacking greatly.
which part of the Articulation did you find bad? I found the joints to be really loose when I assembled it for the first time ,but a few coats of paint on the inner frame fixed most of that problem. the part I am most annoyed about is…[Read more]
I really like the MG Victory, we wanted a fully transforming victory and we got it.
The build is really complex and interesting as well.
Do you plan on getting the core booster set for all the extra weapons and dash pack?
The hips are weak because of the damn polycap ball joints but if you leave them in one pose they’ll stay. You have to use the ankles a lot more on this kit to keep it stable, similar to the Delta Plus.
Getting back onto the Sazabi build. getting the backpack done before i move back onto the body. funnel pods are done and just need a final top coat. nice to be working on a 1/100 scale again
indeed i am. I’m hoping to have it finished soon so i can get to work on my next ver ka kit, the nu-gundam. I’m doing a full color swap on that kit and looking to track down the double fin funnel kit for it as well. Im also planning on getting the Hi-nu ver ka but i waited a bit too long and now HLJ has them on order stop 🙁 so i will have to wait…[Read more]
