It’s been a while, while my foray into warhammer and miniature painting has been satisfying, I find big stompin’ robots draw me back.
But why does HLJ not have anything in stock? All good kits are back ordered! View
PayPal has always converted yen into the Aussie dollar for me. Whether I’m getting a good conversion or it’s paypals own interpretation of the current value, is something I’m not sure about.
As for PO Boxes I cannot help you.
Thanks for the info mate!
But alas it is of no help 🙁 I’ve done a thorough searching of the internet and the main sticking point is sparks and solvents being highly flammable .. But wait I hear someone say! Brushless motors , while only marginally more expensive, don’t spark! But also solvents have this fantastic ability to disolve the insulative…[Read more]
Hi,
I use only acrylic paints, so not experienced with solvents.
However, a simple spray booth should also get rid of the solvents fumes (unless your spray without pauses for long periods).
The one I’m using is the one reviewed here:
it should be also solvent proof due to filter and material used for the…[Read more]

well I’ve been painting with mr.color lacours for a couple of years using a normal spray booth and haven’t blown myself up yet. The one I’m using has the fan in the back and blows the fumes to the sides, and as far as I know the fumes aren’t getting to the engine but could be wrong on that part.
anyways the one I use is Mr. Super Booth, it’s…[Read more]
Looking good. Always wanted to build the HG Banshee and RX-1 (just give me a sec – i’ll pop over to HLJ now….and….yep, ordered :D). I built the Unicorn a while back, lots of fun. Look forward to seeing your FA completed 🙂
Sorry for the late reply. You just do it free hand with an airbrush. It doesn’t have to be exact so you don’t need mad airbrush skills to achieve it. Just do very light coats and blend the colors into each other.
Ah,welcome!
I started a mere 7 months ago, but since I’ve gone from out-of-the-box builds to owning my first airbrush set and having a dedicated modeling area. So be warned, you may go further down the rabbit hole then you expected.
I’m in Queensland, Australia, and there is no such thing as gundam in a brick and morter store. So everything comes…[Read more]
Thanks very much, I’ll take a look at the shipping costs and decide where to get myself started. I won’t be painting or recoloring unless it’s by hand since I don’t have a place to spray anything, but I’m definitely going to start assembling properly, panel lining, and maybe some damage effects (starting on cheaper kits until I know what I’m…[Read more]
Another company you could use ( Syd from hobby link tv uses it too) for bandai online exclusives is “gentei kits”, guy is based in japan (looks flash but it seems to be all done by one guy XD) so the prices aren’t so bad with only a slight mark up from bandai directly, but do look into the shipping prices as its an odd set up…
Thanks, I checked out Gentei and GG Infinite and found a couple good deals on the Rebawoo, I’m thinking that and a couple HGUC MP Bawoos from HLJ to make up a little squadron/strike force to start with, start with trying out some panel lining and handpainting, should be a nice re-start for me and I’m looking forward to it.
I’d just found out that FedEX will not ship to PO boxes, but the other two options given by HLJ will
