ok folks i got a wacky idea that bounced into my head and ive been giving it some serious thought. I want to take the RG Zaku and bash it with the HG Gouf custom, http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN965503/Gun I don’t know if i would call it a bash per se. im just looking to make a highly detailed RG quality Gouf so i will be trying to mod the HG armor…[Read more]
Its a interesting project. You could call it a sneak peak into the RG that is yet to come. Legs should be a fairy simple job. From the looks you could leave the RG feet. Hands should be a little more tricky. The way the Gouf are made it hard for me to figure out how to make sliding armor effect.
I wish you luck with the project. Just remember…[Read more]
You may end up having to sacrifice sone of the sliding panels but it should be doable for the most part, especially if you’re planning to keep the same arms used on the HG.
good luck with the project. keep in mind that the torso of the zaku & the gouf custom is different. might have a hard time connecting the leg of the other to the hips & torso of the other since the RG has its own inner frame. keep us posted with your project. 🙂
An airbrush will be more professional but paint it whichever way you like! All that matters is that you have fun with it and get the results that please you. I paint all my kits by hand personally. May not be the Pro choice but it produces the look and feel I am going for with my kits.
I have to agree with wldeyoung on this one. Whether the model is hand painted, airbrushed or sprayed using a rattle can, as long as you are having fun doing it. There in only one wrong way making a model, and that is when you’re not having fun doing it.
And in my humble opinion, hand painting is far more difficult and time consuming than spraying…[Read more]
wide young and teetee580 tell it like it is. You can do whatever you want with Gunpla but be sure you enjoy whatever it is you choose to do. It is a hobby and the purpose of hobbies is to create enjoyment for yourself.
Just got My new 1/72 Blade Liger AB Leon Renewal from HLJ. I built one when I was young back in 2002ish so i had to get the new :). Going to start right after this post. (cant post photo as i lack a camera or phone)
Good question. Bandai usually only gives restock schedules a couple months ahead of time. If we know the month it’s coming back we put that in the item status on the webpage. If you see something listed as Backordered on the site without any date it means Bandai hasn’t given us a date on that item yet.
Put it through google translate. Some translations are way off but you can figure out what kit it is. Also its grouped by genre (in one place all HGUC, other HGBF, RG, MG, PG and other bandai kits from diffrent series) so its easy to look at.
