Also, to answer your question: Are you looking to build it stock colors, or custom? If it’s the latter, the sky’s the limit. If it’s stock colors, that’s a crap shoot. Some spray paints MIGHT come close, but the only real way to get it down exactly is to mix your own colors and use an airbrush or hand paint.
Did i talk to you yesterday at the shop??? I brought my kits to the counter and the person i spoke to told me that i had “good taste”. Was that you? The blue is such a cool color on this kit but i doubt there is a color that matches up in spray form. I may end up doing some type of purple/gold custom scheme. I won’t be purchasing an airbrush…[Read more]
So, I think I might be over-extending myself here just a TINY bit:
– Working on the KA build
– Joined a Build Fighter Cosplay group for MegaCon 2014. Have to put together a Julio Renato costume and build/paint a K9 before March 21st
– Have to build/paint a Star Build Strike for a friend in the same groupwho’s going as Sei
– Stupidly agreed to…[Read more]
Damn man. You’ve taken on a lot of stuff. The fact that you haven’t already snapped, means you have made it farther than I would. I would have already of had a mental break down.
I’m betting on you snapping while you’re working on the Renato costume or the K9. Events with deadlines are usually pretty stressful, haha.
On a serious note, that’s a ton of work you’re burdening yourself with. If you manage to pull through for each one, I’m not surprised if you’re going to take time off from anything related to Gundam or model kits.
the KA can be put on the back burner since the group deadline was just for the sake of having a deadline. same goes for the Ecto-1 kit, if shes not into you put it on the back burner LOL! i’ve never done a cosplay or any costume creation before so my bet is for snapping point sometime between the k9 and star build strike haha.
I’m definitely slowing down on the KA to make sure the Build Fighter kits are ready. As for the Ecto-1, that may very well be the one I go crazy with. You build Japanese kits for so long, you forget how meticulous they can be in comparison to other companies. I have to scratch-build some parts to…[Read more]
Oh man, I cosplayed once as Kirito, creating the Elucidator before people picked up on SAO & Before the release on Western TV/Cartoon Network and it was a blast. (Sword Creation; http://imgur.com/a/Eot89/#0) & (Actual Cosplay; Sad since you can’t see the full thing 😐 http://i.imgur.com/tOlLP.jpg)

Wow, your timing was perfect. They just restocked there yesterday! I actually had the Quess Jagd Doga in my hand yesterday before grabbing another kit.

Love the idea! Very Thunderbolt/Armored Core-ish. My one qualm with this approach is the way the shoulder looks without the shoulder plating. You may want to bring that element back in to better cover the awkwardness of the shoulder’s design. If you’ve got any other parts from that Jagd Doga(s?) you frankenstein’d to do this, I’d use those.
the guns came off the Full armor gundam kit, sold unicorn to my buddy and i kept all the weapons and the base jaber. i was thinking of maybe making a cloak or pla-plate to cover up the shoulders a little.
I’ve never actually dealt with GGInfinite, but I know your pain. My MG Astray Noir has been en route to me since the end of last month, and despite having a tracking number, I have no shipping status updates on the tracking info. If I don’t see a progress report by the end of the week, I’m going to write to the seller
I think the episode overall would’ve been a lot better if Sei had punched Nils at the meeting. It would’ve gone a long way to building up the dramatic tension a bit more.
Yes. The battle was shorter than the Bloodhound fight, less intense, and it didn’t flow as well in my opinion. The break for repairs messed up the mood for the battle.
I also felt the momentum was completely derailed with the battle stoppage and emergency repairs. You really expect me to believe that after all the time you’ve shown doing rebuilds, that they have emergency backup limbs on hand???
Char kicks till the end! But yeah that really killed the already dull moment for me. I find it kind of shameful that gave us a glorious fight last week followed by essentially shining fist vs shining palm for a whole match

I’m still waiting on ggifinite to ship my kampfer, I’m starting to get a little ticked. They where supposed to start shopping them Friday,I’ve yet to get a shipping notice.+ the only shipping option was 2-3 day priority so I’m out 15$ on shipping. Going to call tommorow and see what’s up if I don’t get a tracking number by 5:00 today this is bs IMO

I’ve heard plenty a bad experience regarding GGInfinite though I personally haven’t ordered from them.
Though ModelGrade has been phenomenal and I’ve ordered twice from them but both over $150 for the Free Shipping. Customer Service is A+, I had to do a couple of item switches and was short a couple dollars but the owner was very helpful and…[Read more]
I have two of those catalogs lol. I love gundam planet, every issue I’ve had has been corrected immediately. I”m pretty much just going to order from them. I’m not too impressed with ggifinite right now.
I’ve bought multiple high-price items from GGInfinite and they always pulled through, no damaged goods or BS with shipping. However, they love to not include the tracking number on the shipping confirmation so I always have to hunt it down myself.
I’ve ordered from GGinfinite before and hadn’t had a problem. They did take their sweet time shipping out my Stein when I had it pre-ordered. But that was about it.
Last summer, GGI’s mail system went down which caused all sorts of problems, other than that they’ve usually been pretty good. HLJ and Gundam Planet are still the best though.
We’ll I just got off the phone with them and I’m actually impressed,nice guy on the phone, the preorders came in late Friday and he said that there working on getting them all out. Said there were three different models they had to deal with but my order should be shipped late today or early tomorrow. Lot of hateful reviews out there about them…[Read more]
Got to play the beta on my friend’s XBone (good to see I’m not the only one calling it that), and I’m completely sold on adding it to my PC library. The moment where I ripped a Titan pilot clean out of his cockpit and threw him through a building = PURE BLISS
I patiently await the inevitable anime skin mods for this game on PC, lol
i did that too! it feels so good to rip the pilot out! i have the beta for the xbone as well but, i think i’ll have to get it for both since my friends are split between console and PC… although the feel of the game makes me feel it might be more at home on a PC. i didn’t even think of the mod possibility… oh a titan that looks like a gundam…[Read more]
Agreed. The whole thing was just living in the shadow of last week. I was really expecting an intense fight, but once all the mystery to Nils’ moves was gone, it all just fell short of my expectations

Blargh, If I had known you could only attach images in your initial post, I wouldn’t have posted earlier. The sooner the forums are back up, the better. Anyhoo, here’s the revised knife. Shortened and re-shaped the grip and gave the blade a point.
I took that pic last night after I applied two layers of Alclad AGC on it. I was so disappointed with how weak the Future coat was that I made darn sure it’s got something tougher on top. I seriously don’t know why I didn’t do that before. For cryin’ out loud, I could handle the thing within 20 minutes without finger…[Read more]
Small update on the K.A., pics will follow in a bit. Chopped up the Zaku Amazing knifes and with a little sanding, got them to fit the Kukhri holsters included. Not feeling the look the holsters mounted the chest creates, so they’ll be migrating either to a shield or to the arm mounts. Haven’t decided yet. Also made a frustrating discovery…[Read more]
I know I’m getting a little bit ahead of myself, but I have an idea for another group build that might prove rather interesting if enough people participate. I wanna test this out though first to work out the kinks, so I am looking for either a moderator or veteran member of the forum with an open schedule to take on this endeavor with me. If…[Read more]
Haha, unfortunately, I can only borrow the color scheme from him. I was checking the knuckle parts from the Amazing Booster to see if I can use them, but it wasn’t meant to be.
The U.S. Reveal the Shield colors will be the one I’m using. Has a more realistic feel overall.
Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to. the polycaps the binders mount to are the only thing that go onto it, and then it’s supposed to mount to the back on the same mounts the original thrusters did. It holds fine until you attach the actual weapons pack, at which point the fit is so snug that when you position the packs, the polycaps want to move…[Read more]
Oh okay. I really like that shop. Has alot of good stock. Maybe we will run into eachother there someday…
