Hi everyone, this is my first real post, I guess 🙂 I’ve been building the HMM Shield Liger Bang Ver. I watched Zoids back when it was on TV when I was younger but haven’t really kept up on it since. But recently I’ve started looking at them in shops and realised how awesome they look, so I decided to give one a go.
No difficulties so far, lots of parts though so it’s comparable to a Master Grade I guess. I guess the thing that has tripped me up is that it has a very ‘raw’ industrial/mechanical look so you have layers of parts, it can be a bit difficult to picture what will be visible (so which part to detail) and what will be hidden. The manual only has…[Read more]
my advice, is to detail it all, even if your pretty sure it wont be seen once built, the hmm kits have a great habit of building the layers up so the details is very organic looking but in any one static pose alot is hidden, however once you move this and that into a new pose a large swarm of detail layers deep pops out, the iron kong is great for…[Read more]
you havent missed much in the zoids anime world haha everything passed NC and CC arent worth the time it takes to read the terrible subtitles. liger is looking good though, still need to get me a liger!
HELP!!!!
Can someone please make or show me a video on how to properly take gunpla off its runners? I use my gunpla side cutters but I’m not sure if I’m doing it right
Lol that’s way to basic on cutting the gatemarks, I take my side cutters and nip off almost all of the nub then take my blade and slice off the rest is that right?
Basically. I do it like Syd does and cut it fairly close instead of leaving a huge nub. Then I take some Tamiya finishing abrasive (sandpaper works too) and remove the remainder. You can use say a 400 grit sandpaper to remove the nub and then clean up most of the scratches with 1000 grit.
You’ll want a white primer to get the paint to stick, then the black coat like Fox williamson suggested, then your red then white. The black should make everything shine a bit more.
My small Zoids collection. I decided that my new years resolution was to get more Zoids, I still have a few months to make up for it. All of it was purchased this year except the Shadow Fox, I am glad I purchased the Shadow fox when I did I haven’t seen him come back in stock with kotabukyias odd track record.
Well I have been thinking of getting a 1/72 liger zero panzer or a blade liger. But they are a bit more expensive compared to regular gunpla. And also I don’t know if it’s for other people but for me the shipping cost is almost the same as the kit itself. So for me is one kit for around 80€ a bit to much. Whenever I get a job I am definitely p…[Read more]
The price of the panzer liger is almost the same as most US seller. Keep in mind that the standard of living is lower in US in generally lower than Europe. It is much cheaper to buy from HLJ and pay the shipping.
I have had a spanner thrown into the works. the Lighting Saix has come back into stock and I think its a must get. I think after that a Geno-saurer (is that right? I don’t know) is in order either Raven or psycho.
I’m still new to building models so I am not too confident on building one of these. I figure once I get a couple MGs under my belt I will do a Zoids kit. Would love a Blade or Shield Liger.
I recently bought Gun Sniper, Saber Tooth Tiger, and the Command Wolf. They are all sitting in the HLJ private warehouse. Waiting for the Gundam MG Ver. 3, so I can ship the whole lot to save cost.
Hi all I was at my desk earlier on having a pop at test fitting some metal thrusters to some parts of my Nu Gundam. Even though there a nice touch they still look a little plane. I wish to paint the inside of them with some Tamiya clear red. So do I have to prime them and if so what with, I’ve seen Mr Hobby metal primer out there but its a rattle…[Read more]
So Nice LIke Like 😀
Thanks!!!
the effect on the blades came out great !
