“That’s what SHE said…”

Wil be sad to see the end of an era, Syd IS Gunpla TV, but such things have to be done. Besides, Todd will do just fine I think, and it will be nice to have Ryan back in the show also. Hopefully, with his experience, if there is time we’ll get some in-depth content from Todd with guides on customising and painting…[Read more]

YES! Waterslides!

So, here’s a question for you two – at some point Bandai have to stop releasing PG Unicorn variants and actually release an all-new PG. If you had to put a bet on it, what would you LIKE to see as a PG release, and what do you think would in reality be more likely as the next new PG release? I would like to see a Sinanju…[Read more]

Fairly similar I suspect ^_^

^_^

The Mig stuff is just really nice to use for weathering – it’s what Mig is known for. AK Interactive have similar products (Mig Jimenez used to work for them before he left to set up Ammo by Mig) and essentially they are designed for specific weathering effects so that you don’t have to make your own by mixing or thinning enamel paints. I haven’t…[Read more]

The trick is you are using enamels over the chipping fluid, not acrylics. Basically, spray on your chipping fluid as normal, then AS SOON as it is dry, I sprayed over a light coat of Ammo by Mig Streaking Grime (enamel). Then AS SOON as that is on the model, gently work over the streaking grime with a brush moistened in water, and it hopefully…[Read more]

Go on then, I will pick up an RG Build Strike, your Jedi mind tricks worked well on this weak-willed fool ^_^

Todd’s tree is a thing of beauty for two main reasons:

1) It is a thing of beauty
2) BALL

Merry Christmas and Happy new year to Syd, Todd, Ryan and the rest of the gang. Have a great holiday break!

Also, Sazabi WANT.

Actually there was no sponging on this at all – I used chipping fluid and Ammo Streaking Grime ^_^

I build in subassemblies – on a full paint job that can be a hundred parts on skewers being painted up, but for this build I detailed some bits before assembly, and then weathered the sub-units e.g. legs, arms, torso, head etc. I painted loads of…[Read more]

Also I did use some leftover waterslide decals from other gunpla for flavour, I think the MG Full Armor Unicorn IIRC.

Also I hate the fact you can’t edit posts to correct horrendous typing errors. SIGH.

Wowzers, that’s gorgeous. ALL THE GLOWIES.

Oh I am LOVING the nice and subtle weathering on there amigo, lovely work.

Now THERE is an idea ^_^

Thank you 🙂

I plan to, at some point, Need to leave a nice big gap between Freedom builds though, otherwise I could get burned out (I still have a 1/60 no-grade Freedom to do)

Why, thank you 🙂 I try to work on more than one thing at a time, but often that dilutes my enthusiasm for each of the builds and I lose the mojo. Usually I find it best to work on one thing at a time so I can keep the excitement throughout the build (I get bored VERY easily).

OMG my question last week led to a DARK ABOMINATION! Fumina with the Zaku head looked like nightmare fuel ^_^

Never really been into RG gunpla, I’m an MG or bigger scale kinda guy, but that Build Strike…mmmm. I can see myself getting all up in that business.

Thanks! came out about just over 100 hours in the end, I think.
