I’d love to see a regular release Banshee-Norn (Bandai please), Jesta Cannon or a Jegan, they’re pretty realistic as well. Other than that I’d say a G-Self, RX-78-2 (origin version) or a ZZ 2.0 would be awesome.
Anything you’re wishing for?
Hello everyone ^^
I want to paint a kit mettalic red,and i dnt have airbrush…can i achieve good results with tamiya metallic red spray paint,or should i buy clear red instead and spray it over the allready red kit?
there are a few ways to paint metallic color.
mainly in two ways: (let’s take red and let’s use spray)
1) metallic red spray can (doh~, I know)
2) spray a silver coat, let it dry up, then a clear red on top
Ty,i will try it in my Astrays,im thinking about buying the Sengoku Astray while waiting for the blue and red frame to restock,and might paint it metallic purple
sorry I haven’t been checking into hlj for a bit but to add to that you should put down a gloss black coat before the silver, most silver paints tell you this on the can, metallic paints have a bit of transparency to them and the black makes the silver just a bit more vibrant.
Also I’d probably go for a mica/pearl over a metallic if you can find…[Read more]
ahh I see well can’t really do much about the selection you have, but since you asked about metallic red I assume you have that available atleast. if you can then get a blue, silver/white, gold/yellow, and black/grey then you’re pretty much set for most things kits with Gundam in the name.
Also don’t feel that having metallic paints on the kit…[Read more]
hey guys, long time listener, first time caller, just wanted to let you all know how much i love the show and what you guys do in giving us older collectors/gunpla modelers a voice! thanks again!
Hello everyone ^^
If i get the MG Astray Blue Frame do i also get the backpack adapters? … i want them alot,especially that striker pack adapter,i would even buy it separately if i could or know where lol
Adding to what @bluecomet said, here’s a list of them. As of this comment the only kits are the MG Sengoku Astray, MG Build Gundam MK-II, MG Build Strike Gundam and the MG Universe Booster.
Oh right, I completely forgot that those existed sorry :P. I think that was only available on release. That’s the only way I know of for 1/100 backpack adapters sorry but you could always use modify pegs yourself to kitbash backpacks if you don’t like the Build Fighter one.
Hi guys. I want to ask for a tips about hand brushing and some techniques of how to paint brush without brush marks on the kit and etc. I want to master hand brushing before going to spraycans and airbrushing.suggestions or links for a guide will do thanks!
For no brush marks: Really soft brushes. Instead of painting a big area at time, go small, line per line, little per little, but key point is soft. (would usually spray for no mark)
You can always thin the paint a bit first.
Dry brushing is a technique you should try if you didn’t already. You can find many tutorials online.
Yes we can buy it from HLJ. It’s not a P-Bandai exclusive. Although I’m not really excited for this one because I don’t know anything about this version of the Blue Frame.
I love the Astray design so its a must have for me,and i read the manga so i know somethings about it…sadly the Astray Noir was a P-Bandai exclusive,they would look nice together ^^
My guess is that they are only getting enough with each restock to fill the existing orders. If you can put it in your cart and you don’t mind a little wait, just buy it even if it says restock. If you are waiting for it to become in stock, it could be a long wait hoping that the number of kits they get is larger than the number of existing orders…[Read more]
it did help,and i agree that HLJ has amazing customer service,i just wanted to know cuz i love the astrays and im thinking about buying the Sengoku Astray even tho i like the Red Frame Kai more…ty very much for your reply ^^
Its normal. They need to add the kit dimensions to their shipping system before they start sending invoices.
other possibility is that they run out of kits (its set to backordered on the site)
i have the same problem, i hope they didn´t run out of kits before covering all the preorders … 🙁
i just received my payment request 😀
