@Cthulhu i took your advise on the brown color for the panel lines on the gold frame. Thnx for the idea cause i think it looks much better now that its not so prominent. lemme know what you think
You’re welcome. It looks better now. With more brighter brown colors you can achieve an even subtle shading of the panel lines. You are on the right way.
@cthulhu It does not help that my wife is also into this hobby so… unlike most wives who frown upon such things, she actually asks me for things that she likes lol.
Thanks buddies @cthulhu@ghostquanta and @mightycol 🙂 lol, yeah 295 for now…. thanks to Bandai and HLJ/Badforthewallet.com and the 2014 new releases I’m gonna pass 300 with just 2 more preorders (alrdy have 3 more on preorder lol)
Yeah, @cthulhu , not only is she supportive, she’s into this as well, so half the blame is on her. We keep telling ourselves, enough! And the next day, she goes and looks at Nendo pics online and there we go, another preorder. LOL… Hopeless.
@cthulhu, lol yeah, how did you ever guess? Saber was what got me into watching anime. Someone was giving away a free Revoltech Saber and we managed to get it from her… then we found out abt Fate stay/night, watched it and bam! Tons of Sabers followed…
I started my collection late. Built my first Gundam in July 2011 so just a little above 2…[Read more]
Impressive. I guess it’s due to your understanding and supporting wife that made this collection possible?
The anime of Fate Stay/night, doesn’t do justice to the original media. The small Nendo lion saber looks really cute.

@Cthulhu , @enamelhands , @WingZeroHQ , thanks the paint is not as good as tamyia paints so i had to try different ways to even out the paint.
@tetsujin no top coat was used, iv never used a topcoat before only after, i havent had any problems so far, i will add a gloss coat when i get some decent weather because winter is starting to set in here.
Hi guys, these are some work in progress video I made for my M9 Gernsback ‘Chrome Boy’ custom (thanks for the name @cthulhu .) If you lie what you see please feel free to comment and or subscribe. I’ll have the finished kit video posted in a few days, probably next…[Read more]
@big-rich Yeah, Robocop junior is making progress! Chrome Boy looks really different now. I like it. In your place I would use the blue metalic only on details for panel linig (visor, shoulder armor) or small notches (legs, ankle piece, armguard) but not for complete pieces. I think it would interfere with the chrome. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s my opinion.
The clear blue is for another project, I just show’d you out of curiosity. The gun, knee guards and anything that is supposed to be a different color will be metallic black. Acrylic spray and enamel brush paint metallic black so it shouldn’t dissolve the chrome. I already did the gun, knee guards and they look nice! Enamel paint takes ages to dry…[Read more]
@big-rich Of course I don’t mind. Thanks for the video! Nice color scheme, now i want to see it completed. Maybe I should buy another one and fill the gaps too. I think it really looks better that way. By the way I broke the balljoint of the hand of the rifle because some of the topcoat got in there. So be careful with it. I can’t glue on this…[Read more]
Thanks for the warning. HLJ started a new sale last night. This guy’s in it. So if you want another one now’s the time. Everything but the arms and feet are getting painted gloss black today, the feet need securecing on a crocodile clip and the arms need more sanding. The kit should be completed in a few days. Keep an eye on my channel or i’ll…[Read more]
LOL. I just did some touch up work with the gloss black. I’ll start chroming it in about an hour. Then I’ll have the feet and arms to do later. I’ll keep you posted.
