    Hey, welcome back to the Galbaldy build series!

    Last time, we did all the basic work needed to get the model ready for the next step: making it our own. Today, we will start adding details to the bottom half […]

    Hey, everyone!My name is Enrico Arezo, I’m a Gunpla modeler from Uruguay, and this is my first time posting on hobbylink.tv.

    In this series of articles we’re going to build the HGUC Galbaldy Beta, a 1/144 […]

    • Thanks, Guthem! 😉
      Yeah, that’s a usual problem with darker parts. I’d suggest sanding carefully going from lower grit to higher, but of course, painting is the best solution; since it gives the parts a uniform color.

  • My HGUC Zaku II slightly modified and painted in the Uruguayan flag colors. Built for Facebook group “Mecha Swat”‘s “Raise your flag” build-off, where the idea was to paint a…

  • Who did you root for in advanced? My list:

    Java – creativity. you owe me a beer.
    Moldrunner – for trying new things, not another gunpla.
    Ronin – for mod skills.
    Enrico Asa no Hoshi – if the build was finished in time.
    eil doelz – weathered and rusted truck diorama.
    Beork – Kitbashing.
    Lambo & Minarto – amazing car building & modding skills
    One or…[Read more]

    • Beork replied 7 years ago

      I rooted for Java, because I really liked the work.
      Other than that… all the same to me ^_^

    • I was sincerely expecting to see your Flanker among the top winners.

    • Some of em are really a supprise to me.. Where for exapmple is fluffys 3 2 1 Zero … ? Or your Jet?
      sure I am kinda disapointed and it is not up to me and I won´t hurt someone, but what on earth makes the Mosquito topping them? Ok its brushwork, but .. don’t get it.
      And sadly the announcement was not even worth a show? I think without Sid…[Read more]

      • Thank you, Moldrunner. You made my day. An I’m going to call it my “3 2 1 Zero” from now on 😀

        • Hehe see.. I like Anna, and the other girl.. sorry, I cant remember the name.. from Toy Tengoku. I saw almost every episode of them, but If the where taken in charge for judging the entries, I feel sorry for them. Scott, Luke and Brian,should be able to judge the quality of a build. Yeah Tod und Sid for sure. Even if they might be not the pro…[Read more]

          • Rest assured, I didn’t judge — and didn’t want to 😛 Syd, Ryan, and Todd judged the contest. Luke and Brian haven’t been with us for a while now.

        • Hehe sorry,for rantingn I appreciate your comment. Java and Beork really deserve it to win. But than I see bare plastik weathered with Tamiya weathering makeup as a winner.. really…. come on..

      • I actually really like the Mosquito, was expecting It to score as the best of intermediate instead of a Bradley. It’s a nice looking, elegant plane and the kit is nice to look at. I am quite surprised it got bumped to advanced tho, mostly due to the category guides.

        • The Breadly is amazing. All detailed and a nice finish. It is a worthy winner. Compare it to the finish of the tank dio at the advanced category…..

          • Yeah gotta agree with that, the Bradley is a superb build. And the dioramas, well I really enjoyed seeing a French tank in there, it’s so rarely to see them being appreciated, even more a diorama of those years, found it interesting, but I see where you are going.

    • Haha this thing is driving me crazy. The more I look at that build, the more angry I become…. Is this really a big gun? You know it, when you see it? Take the framework of the canapee.. nothing is masked.. nothing is clean.. That covers not the best of their entries. It is like….,lits so many, lets come to an end. Very very sad. People put…[Read more]

      • Moldrunner I couldn’t agree with you more!
        I’m trying to hold my tongue but come-on!!!!!

    • I was rooting for Java, the amount of imagine and vision you had to have to take a pile of junk and make it into the Mecha that he did was amazing. Everyone did great and the posting activity was great from all. Can’t wait for the next one.

    • Your Flanker was very good. 🙂 There was so much going on with it!

    • otaku replied 7 years ago

      Thank you for all the replies and support.

      It’s refreshing to see that some people are still objective, un-business-oriented and un-political. I know very well what is going on with Russia & USA. But what does that have to do with me? I’m not even Russian. lol. I don’t even know what the Russian words on the Flanker D mean.

      It’s art. Judge it…[Read more]

      • otaku replied 7 years ago

        Beork deserved a win as well. The other incredible gunpla builds didn’t get a mention. They were clean, but modded and painted a different color scheme.

        The kitbashed hybrid bike in intermediate someone did might have won if he submitted his work. Don’t think he did.

        The biggest surprise is the #1 Advanced PG build. Yes, it’s very detailed, but…[Read more]

        • I tried to stay put, but i have to agree with this rant.

          I was not expecting to be on the top 3 by any means, but seeing the winners it kind of annoyed me. When i submitted my entry i thought about putting it on intermediate, but according to the rules, they can change the category if needed…for a second i thought “well, my entry doesnt even…[Read more]

      • Anna replied 7 years ago

        Though Syd isn’t physically present, he was a preliminary judge on this. We’re sorry you feel this way, though. 🙁

      • Hmm otaku, what makes you think it is a matter of the origin of its original?
        Hehe then the Zero would be the winner ^^

    • My main complain is that both the category rules and the of judging criteria seems to be all over the place, and the lack of video really does not help on that behave. Are they looking for a clean build, an interesting one, a complex one? Does scale matters? Does realism matters or just artistic sense?

      • I understand how hard it must be to judge, after all we have both gundams, land vehicles, planes and ships all competing with each other, and most of the winners rightfully deserve their place, man there are some amazing kits in there, did you see that metal gear? an what to say about Beork’s uh (is it a gundam? looks amazing tho), but yeah some…[Read more]

      • Anna replied 7 years ago

        We’ll have a video a bit later. Because of the volume of entries, judging alone took longer than expected. We focused on judging first to have the results to everyone by Wednesday. Unfortunately, if we had added the video at the same time, results would have been further delayed.

        • That’s great, looking forward for it. Thanks.

        • I think everybody would gladly understand a further delay. Looking st the circumstances. And patience is one of a modellers strength. I really thought Syd would leave after the contest. Never expected him to leaving everything behind and this task to his unprepared colleagues…

          • We had many modellers eager to post their photos online, and didn’t want to keep them waiting any longer, but we will have a video — hopefully within a few days. Though Syd isn’t physically present, he was a preliminary judge for this competition, with Ryan and Todd’s help.

    • Thanks for including my name in your list! I really wanted to compete with you, Beork, Java…
      I’m also not satisfied with the results, there are some winners that I don’t get why they are there and some great entries that surprisingly didn’t place. I was not expecting much from my entry, after all, I made just about 70% of what I was planning (I…[Read more]

    • Syd might have put a lot of trust in his second man or third man being the judge, since he’s not present at the office. He might have skimped over the winner list and photos, but he may not have seen all the WIPs. If he has, he would not be happy with the results. Because we LIVED the competition. Literally. We know every nook and cranny.

      I could…[Read more]

    • I haven’t been able to sign in on here for a few days that’s why I’m a bit late but I do think that Moldrunner should have won a place and also kaminoan.

      Great job as always.

    • Thanks. Otaku San

    • nice kits dude but you have posted multiple cars. did you actually submit one? if so which car was the best?

    • Yes, he is right, what model did you choose to present?

      Nice purple !

    • otaku replied 7 years ago

      Yeah, I’d like to know. Post your submission here.

    • thanks for your positive comment, I have same Model, but I didn’t know which one is best, therefore I share to all of this member to assess

    • otaku replied 7 years ago

      No, not all of your works, but the one you submitted to HLJ for 2017 competition. We’d like to know.

    • Exactly !

  • Hey everyone!
    Just wanted to post the last WIP photos of my (not completed) entry.
    I won’t do very detailed descriptions, because there are a lot of photos this time.
    Also,…

    [Read more]

    • Damn, they are in the wrong order again -.- Just start from the end :))

    • Also, in the photos where it’s all assembled, there are parts that I didn’t put on the model because it would be a bit risky. For example: armor for the back of the legs and armor for the feet.

    • otaku replied 7 years ago

      Incredible mods. It wouldn’t fit any regular Gundam series except Gundam Build Fighters Try.

      Finish the build.

    • Thanks, man! My idea was to make it look like an MS from UC 0088/0093-ish; maybe a combination of elements from Zeta, ZZ, AOZ and maybe UC. Also, the backstory is that this MS was a mix of Jupitris design elements and regular EFF MS elements.

      Thanks again for encouraging me to finishing this build!

    • Hey, that looks great!

      I’m glad that you didn’t quit the build.

    • THAT is custom!! Hard work! When is the painting? 😉

    • otaku replied 7 years ago

      It does look like something out of Zeta or maybe Thunderbolt-ish.

    • Thank you very much, ArchFluffy! 😀

    • Thanks, Orchidia! 😀
      I did paint it but not completely, besides main painting I just did some minor detail painting (15 minutes before the deadline) and submitted the photos, but I plan on finishing the model properly after the competition is over.
      Thanks again for your interest 😉

    • Thanks, it’s good to know there are at least some UC aspects on the design.

    • I’m still watching for things like this! Nice!

    • Thanks! It’s good to know :))

    • 15 minutes before the deadline !!!!
      You love danger! XD
      Looking forward to seeing the pictures!

    • Haha, yeah. I wanted to get it as close as possible to being finished, then I had to use the time I had left. BTW, I slept only one hour that night 😛

    • We modelers don’t sleep much. Our lives are too exciting! 😛

    • Yes you’re right ! ^^

    • Haha, yeah! 😛 😛 😛

  • I couldn’t complete my entry, but I submitted it anyway. But why couldn’t you complete it if you had a ton of time? Well, for three reasons:
    1 – My hobby knife broke a few weeks ago, and that made scratchbuilding and detailing spectacularly slower.
    2 – My airbrush broke a few days ago when I was starting painting. I had to order a new one and wait…[Read more]

      It’s always incredible to see the amount of payload the SU can carry.

    • Ace work!

    • Love the thousands of details and colorshadings.

    • Hrhr and give them wheels some drybrush with a neutral grey, or so… much too shiny..

    • otaku replied 7 years ago

      Much appreciated, guys.

      The wheels were repainted and resealed. Didn’t mask them. So oversprayed. I did over-flat the tires to the point it whited out a bit, so I semi-glossed them. Think about it. It’s carrier-based. So water is unavoidable. Even the carrier deck is watery sometimes.

      The canopy was repainted cuz the blue didn’t match the…[Read more]
