The next badge. Still a GM RX-78-2 2.0(Every Gundam collection needs the grand daddy IMO) and the MG Aile Strike R.M. in private warehouse at HLJ. Damn those restocks LOL. Thanks to HLJ for creating me a backlog 😀
Oh, and why not the Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode? Going to do ‘Mechie Plating’ myself. With the FBM there are a lot of parts that need to be plated anyways and this way I don’t have to strip the Bandai plated parts….
@tehbanshee13, well, that’s rather simple. First a gloss black enamel in preparation for the Alclad chrome. Then a mix of 85% clear yellow with 15% orange. Used it in the past for the yellow parts on my MG Destiny and MG Nu Ver.Ka. (on the latter it was hand painted, didn’t have an airbrush at the time). The only tricky thing is not to spray too…[Read more]
thanks but i had the idea of what u meant i meant was i was curious to see if u were using that metal powder stuff for the strike freedom because that would be even nicer lol 🙂 but happy building
As a formal injection mold engineer and according to Bandai’s history on Unicorn MG, it’s almost guarantee to see a PG Banshee. Most engineering and tooling are done. If they decide to release a novel version, they’ll just need to provide the forehead pieces, for OVA regular version, the different are the armed VN and BS, and the forehead and…[Read more]
Hey guys! Im new to this group, though i wanted to ask which rgs are recommended. I have built the exia and the mk II, but i would like to try the zgok…
If you like the suit, go for it. Zgok is definitely unique in design and articulation. I think you can never go wrong as long as you’re a fan of the suit.
The Z’Gok is one of my favorite RGs, you won’t go wrong with it.
Aside from that I really enjoyed the Zeta, Strike Freedom and Destiny. (Not everyone likes the Zeta as it’s quite fiddly and delicate).
At last, my first Gunpla since the PG Unicorn last X-mas. Have to finish a commission before I can start building this beast. Not going to be Red or Yellow ( 😉 @Syd). Keeping it a surprise LOL
Also ordered some builder parts Verniers and some action bases
Thanks guys!
@daverb Yeah, like the Stein too, and that riffle sets me off a little too! @thebanshee13 I was contemplating it, ordered decals from Samuel a month ago for a commission I was working on, but wasn’t too pleased about the quality. When cutting them, one needs to be really careful not to touch them as the ink smudges really fast. Looked…[Read more]
I’m looking forward to that new RG frame, it looks like a fun build. Hopefully we’ll see a Blue Frame Second L and Gold frame Amatsu as regular releases, though I feel like we’re going to see plenty of P-Bandai variations coming out.
Over all; looking forward to it 😀
As I love the Astray Red Frame (First Gunpla was the PG version), it might be my first RG. Always looking through the RG line-up and never can’t decide which one to pic as my first one, this might be the one for me
I can’t wait. I’ve never built a red frame, but my favorite HG is my gold frame Amatsu. So I’m excited, I love RGs and am interested in working with the new unique frame mold
I’m super excited, I have to say that, that mobile suit is what made me really fall in love with gundam. Lol plus it will be my first rg, I’ve built the no grade red frame so I’m excited to see the difference.
Would anyone happen to know what metallic paints could be used to achieve this finish? I have been researching and I seem to cannot find any concrete information on achieving…
You should look into doing a silver coat of paint and then going over it with a clear color paint like clear blue I’ve done it with tamiya paints and it works ok there’s a video on gunplay tv about it too a early episode
I’ve seen that! That is a titanium finish. What I want is the metallic finish. The one with the metallic flakes in the paint that make it look glittery. Thank you for your suggestion though. I love the titanium finish too!! 😀
What ive done is base coat silver then clear blue for the blue parts and clear red for the red parts then i put a clear pearl coat ive used tamiya ts-65 on everything and that gives u those sparkly bits
