Does anyone have any idea why I cant snap together the two halves of a ZOIDS RZ-028 Blade Liger Mirage? It looks like everything is in but at the nose there’s a small space and ive used some force to try to close it.
I haven’t built the Mirage but I’ve done the Ab version. Try not to use force, that’s how parts are broken and will happen when you least expect it. Try rebuilding the head. I had some difficulty with it but I made sure everything was is and It worked.
I just looked it up – Estimated height is about 32 cm and as long as 50+ cm long. It is considerably bigger than the Iron Kong (already a huge kit). Beside, HLJ listed the kit as Skill Level 5. I repeat Level 5 (OMG), I both excited and scared of it.
He’s a must… he’s HUUUGGE. If he wasn’t so expensive I would buy 2 and paint one in Trypticon colours slap a few Decepticon stickers and put him in with my transformers!! 🙂
I’ll be copy-pasting this to the other group as well.
Does anyone have any advices on how to make a vacuum spray booth? Like the one that can be seen here http://www.hlj.com/product/ATXSPB-02/Sup
Or at the very least some more affordable ones. Thanks in advance guys!
Travelling to another country is a lot of effort to get some parts just coz they’re chromed… if i cant find them online in a week or so ill just Alclad them or maybe order some mgm chrome powder 🙂
This is a sad time for UK model makers. Model zone is closing. It wasn’t the cheapest place but it was great place to go and be inspired and talk with some great guys, staff members who knew everything about this hobby and were always good for a chat.
Anyway I got some really good things for 50% off.
I do know what you mean. I had to send away to Australia for Tamiya 400 sandpaper, this was two weeks ago and i’m still waiting. I buy all my model kits online but I very rarely buy anything online unless I have to.
For me it’s really nice to go into a hobby shop and be inspired. Both my local hobby shop don’t have an online presence. They both…[Read more]
I agree completely with your first paragraph. A race to the bottom with prices inevitably ends with a race to the bottom in quality. I don’t know how things are in the US but in the UK the high street (main street) is dying. Shops are becoming generic, and niche shops don’t last long. Where I am there are few discount craft shops where I can pick…[Read more]
I suppose you’re right, but at least people in their 50’s and 60’s aren’t worried so much about the future. They’ll be retiring soon and bad economies affect the young more than the the old.
My local hobby shop are expensive, but then again this is an expensive hobby. They sell military kits, tanks planes etc. Which is fine but it’s not for me. I…[Read more]
