Welcome to the hobby! Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as i do.
Myself, I use the hobbyknife”s point to peal off the sticker, insuring the blunt side of the knife is facing up, so I don’t cut in the actual sticker itself. I make sure the knife is placed on the long side of the sticker and as most in the middle of this side as possible. The knife is…[Read more]
Hi @teetee580, thanks alot for your detailed and informative tips, much appreciated. As i always line up my stricker from the side way of the eyes part of the kit and hope for the best, yours techniques makes more sense and minimize the chance of ruining the eye sticker.
I had no idea you can paint the eyes, especially on the 1/144 scale kit, it…[Read more]
hai its been a super long time but since ive been on break but im back so i recently bought the gundam barbatos at barnes and nobles (noted theres a 15% coupon plus membership so i it was 24$) but anyways i wanted to make the mace for him but idk the dimensions so i was hoping if there was anyone that would no the dimensions of the 1/144…[Read more]
Can’t believe no one has a 1/144 scale Barbatos here on this site……. Wait! The answer doesn’t obtain one a free Gunpla!!!
Anyways, looked it up for you, as I recalled Henry A.K.A. vegeta8259 made his own mace and shows a picture of the dimensions:
Hope this helps you out. Good luck and happy building!
There is speculation that the 1/100 Gundam Barbatos 6th form will include parts for the 5th from Barabatos as well as the mace which features and extending lance gimmick (and doesn’t have the point rounded off like the 1/144 version), but HLJ do not appear to have any official photos to confirm this.
Now that the 1/100 Gundam Gusion / Gundam Gusion Rebake is In Stock at HLJ will you be able to disclode the contents of the kit, specifically whether both versions can be built at the same time.
Its hard to tell at the moment as the description only says that “This item is a posable, high-grade or better injection-plastic kit of an item from the…[Read more]
Actually no, a standart NG release from the line is ~ 2500-700 yen ( so far ) so this costs almost 2x , but you get 1.5 models, so it`s basically a scam from bandai`s part … 🙁
Hey guys love the news on the Winter wonder festival 2016 I am excited to see kotobukiya announce their new products! it looks like 2016 will be another awesome year for us modellers 😀 cant wait to get my hand on that beast of a mecha for FA.girls!
Hi all I really wasn’t to where else to post this on here, what I’m wondering is does anyone at all who is a member on this site possibly have a built PG Strike Rouge that they would be willing to part with for a reasonable price ?
Looks like lots of PGs are getting restocked by Bandai on the 24th (including the Strike Rouge), so if there’s one site you’re looking at getting it from then they may be getting some more soon. http://bandai-hobby.net/site/schedule_images/nouhin.pdf
Hi, just two questions here regarding the PG Banshee Norn
1. If i want to preserve the shine of the plated gold parts from degrading due to direct/indirect sunlight, do i spray on gloss topcoat over it or leave it as it is
2. How do i resolve the weight distribution issue of the shield without using any cement and able to pose it like shown on the…[Read more]
Hi there,
1 I have got a 1/100 HG Wing Gundam from I believe 2001. It had “mechie” plated gold parts and those are as pristine as the day they came out of the box. So you don’t need to put anything on it. There is however a product from Model Master which is designed for putting over metalizers without ruining the sheen, which most clear coats…[Read more]
1: as Teetee said, the way that Bandai painted the gold parts they will survive fine as is. Although if you want to protect it from scratches then a gloss coat will be fine.
2: There aren’t really any “fixes” for the shield, so I can only really offer posing advise sorry.
For my Banshee I made sure that the shield peg is as close to the centre of…[Read more]
