Fellas i have some bad news: Due to some financial snags as of late, I was forced last night to cancel my order ive had with HLJ, which included my Kampfer Amazing. Which means it looks like I wont be able to participate in that group build. Sorry guys but money has gotten tight. just thought I should tell you this fellas
I know, but hey, that money will go to the necessities that I need for now. hopefully once I get me and my cohorts messes in order will I get back into kits. as for kits as a whole: im thinking about taking a break from them for a while, now does that mean ill give up on gundam and gunplay? Hell no lol. but for now im not interested in buying…[Read more]
Sorry to hear that man. I hope that you’re able to get everything in order. And I know how you feel about taking a break. I’m think that I might take a small break once my backlog is finally finished. But I do hope that you stick around man!
With the holidays officially over starting tomorrow, hopefully there will be more progress towards getting the forum up. Meanwhile, I’m using all the time I have available to continue working on my three HG kits. Pretty much done with the G-Bouncer so now I’m just practicing handpainting.
I’ve been working to get my HG DX done before the release of the Kampfer Amazing. So far I’ve got the head, chest, and both arms done. I’ve also been working on getting the solar panels painted up.
Yeah, it’s been a good chunk of time. Luckily we still have this place. It’s not the same thing, but at least it’s a reminder of what we’re waiting on, haha.
Once I start building another Gunpla kit, I’ll be sure to post in here more often. Assuming this is the correct place for that crap; or is there a Gunpla-specific group someplace? After the Playing with Plamo contest ended, I find myself adrift. 😉
Feel free to keep posting here. Anything gunpla-related is welcome. However, activity will dwindle once our actual forum gets resurrected, hopefully by the end of the month.
Gunpla aficionados, what are your thoughts and impressions on 1/35 Gundam Head Bust Resin Kits? Would you consider getting it at some point in time? I just recently came across about it while browsing and instantly became stoked of acquiring one.
I’d love to try my hand at one, but resin kits take a ton of time to work on. I already have limited time as is so I think I’ll stay with plastic for now, haha.
If you’re looking for a HI Nu, my friend has an extra SMS HI Nu bust, but he’s still on vacation to HK. I could pass along any interest. SMS is a great resin company.
As for the resin heads, i have an Original G System GP03 bust. They’re really fun builds, but like Dlinker said, the prep work is the key. I still haven’t finished mine… 3 years…[Read more]
This is the first I’ve ever heard of them, but man, I want one now, haha. Squee and Dlinker are right. That would take a long time to finish, but it would definitely be an awesome display piece if you put in the hours.
LOL, me too, just a few days ago that I discovered them. It was from a member on reddit.com’s Gunpla community. I quickly added it on the kit list after I saw it LOL. No doubt, it’s definitely an awesome display piece; an instant eye catcher. And all the invested effort will be worth it in the end.
Thnx for sharing Squee. Definitely diggin that Stamen Bust… and wow, still in progress 3 years later. Goodness, resin kits will definitely kick my ass. I checked G-System’s store before my post. I really wanted their RX-78-2 Head Bust, but unfortunately sold out.
Well i have gunpla ocd, so the three years is more because i started other projects. You should also check out GSM http://www.g-system-models.com/index+.html
You can buy them prepainted/built. You can also search Ebay, there are sellers selling finished kits.
Hi guys. This has to do with the Kampfer Group Build. I don’t think I’ll be able to join. I’m going to Arizona in February for a month, and after I get back the build will be pretty much over. I could always straight build it, but i really wanted to paint it. Not sure what to do now.
Late submission for the Group Build? Pretty sure no one will mind. The end date was just a formality. I might not be able to finish mine on time (due to the office move happening Feb-March) so I’m expecting a late submission as well.
Dlinker is right man. The group build is just for fun. Not like anyone is going to be declared a winner. It’s all in the name of fun. So if you want to paint the kit, then by all means man. Paint it.
Hmm. Thank you. I’m still not entirely sure what to do with it.
Also, this is totally unrelated to the group build, but does anybody here have experience with the reverse wash technique for the Sleeves and Testors enamel sprays? I would go to the forum to see what Thwalker did, but alas, it is down. I know the basic concept of it and what needs…[Read more]
Hey just wanting to ask for an update on the fourms fellas.
on another note, if any of you recall, me and my brother have been working on something called “Project Loftwing” AKA Loftwing Gundam. Well, the paints have finally come in and well begin working on that and the custom weapons loadout soon, but before we do that, well be posting here…[Read more]
Hey Guys, bad news, and no it has nothing to do with any problems with the kit lol. but the news is that I had been working all day running errands and what not I forgot to take the pics, lol. Good news is im freed up tomorrow so ill be able to take and post the pics. so thank you for your patience and see you tomorrow lol.
Hey guys! Busy holiday was so busy, I didn’t even realize that the forum was on the fritz again, lol! Given the format of this board, I’ll keep it brief, but I wanted to share some updates on the Strike-E and recent acquisitions 😀
The winter season is quickly becoming the winter of 0080. Picked up the HGUC Hy-Gogg and GM Sniper II, and the…[Read more]
Nice to see the Strike-E is moving forward properly now. Curious to see what you got lined up for the GM Sniper. You got yourself a healthy set of kits to look forward to, also. Only thing I got is the Kampfer Amazing, haha.
Thanks, D! I appreciate the interest in the Sniper, but I might wind up disappointing with that one, especially with the K9 so close to release. I’m incredibly torn since I love the stock colors so much, so I might not deviate from the course all that much. The Hy-Gogg’s a bit more ambitious. I wasn’t happy with how the pontoons were…[Read more]
Haha, yeah, the K9 might steal the show from Sniper II. Nothing wrong with minor changes to the stock colors. I would have done the same thing to the one I’m working on. Your plans for the Hy-Gogg sound very interesting. Looking forward to the paint job and the mod work.
Funny enough, about an hour after saying I couldn’t decide on a color scheme for the Sniper II, the perfect inspiration struck. Gonna go with a Patlabor-esque police homage.
Nice kits. I want to get the GM Sniper II and Zaku kai at some point in the future. The hy-gogg has like a million seam lines. Hope you deal with them better than I did.
I was so stoked to get the Hy-Gogg, but the seam lines are a real letdown. I don’t much like the idea of having to choose between losing the submersible mode or not because of the hands, and the way the shoulder pads were designed just baffles me. Here’s to hoping Build Fighters paves the way for a Master Grade version that does this unit some…[Read more]
Ooh, that stinks, man. At least you’ll have your SBS, though. Did I mention that they’re making an MG version of the Star Build Strike?
You don’t understand…I had to cancel ALL of them including the SBS. 🙁
Nooo! I’m sorry, man. That’s gotta hit hard.
I know, but hey, that money will go to the necessities that I need for now. hopefully once I get me and my cohorts messes in order will I get back into kits. as for kits as a whole: im thinking about taking a break from them for a while, now does that mean ill give up on gundam and gunplay?

Good. Glad you’re at ease.
Sorry to hear that man. I hope that you’re able to get everything in order. And I know how you feel about taking a break. I’m think that I might take a small break once my backlog is finally finished. But I do hope that you stick around man!
