the white gold highlights are hard to see with pictures too. i thought the kit was too garish with bright gold. also the blue tint silver on the piping and underframe doesnt really pop out in the photos…..ah well its been posted enough.
onto the next kit, cant say that im enthusiastic.
that was a fun build and i dont think there will be many…[Read more]
It is not that massive, but sure same in style. If you like complex mechanics in a build, you really should have a look at a HMM Zoid. The details of those Koto-kits always blow my mind.
the sinanju’s were sold out when i did my last order and the postage to Australia is horrendous. i was hoping for a re-release of the yamato 2199 kit but its been over a year and even with the new series nothings come up. maybe i can sneak another order when the missus is away. zoids are interesting but not really my thing but i have a bootleg…[Read more]
well got the hang of the airbrush now and my 3rd painted kit is finished. thinking i should have done this kit for the plamo comp but it’s not very original-
Really nice finish of one of the most awesome kits. With a Sazabi on the workbench you have to go all out. And people went crazy on it. It is still something that is not crossed ony todo list. I like your dark shiny interpretation of the red.
cheers guys. yup otaku its a ver ka (200+ fiddly decals)….. and it was over 50 spoons its just that i stopped counting after i used a whole pack.
trying to mix auto and hobby paints had some issues. clogged airbrush and some of the thinners for the top coat ate the test decals.
you cant really see the different reds so i’ll try for some outside…[Read more]
If you are refering to the joints, you can have this with Bandaikits too. Especially, if they have to hold heavy shields and weapons. Also that it is no Bandaikit it is of a great quality. The mold is top and there is nothing falling appart, when assembled. Even after several coats of paint I just had to sand 2 parts to make em fit again. Sure,…[Read more]
well nearly done my 3rd painted kit and i wanted a shiny sazabi. thought about doing this kit for the plamo comp, but glossy sazabis are pretty common on the net so i tried something different………now for 200 friggin decals
What was planned, as an simple paintjob over a weekend, turned into a decent build, that takes me two weeks by now. Can’t tell what all went wrong with this thing. From a…
I forgott to mention that I avoided masking after that first try and sparyed everything freehand and I did this with the 0.4 needle, that I use for cleaning, installed in the 0.2 setup of my spraygun. And I wondered, why I had to clean the nossle after each part and controlling the colorflow was so difficult…
there is agentle,wathering on it, thats why I primed with black and put a silver coat under the actual basecolor. I went over all the edges with sanding paper. It is a very gentle weathering, but thats how it suoposed to be. If I feel like adding some scraches on the flat surfaces I will just scratch it, but this is sokething that is done on the…[Read more]
