As surprised as I am with the HG Revive Freedom, as disappointed I am with the Amazing Red Warrior… Glad I held out on that one.
Thanks guys, now we’re never gonna figure out what was in that box!!!!!!!
In the whole history of Gunpla TV Giveaway I’ve never ever seen a picture posted of a kit won by one of the contenders, nor red a comment on the…[Read more]
Hello, i’ve been wanting to try panel separation but I’m not sure how to go about doing it. I think I have an idea but can’t seem to find a tutorial on it.
By panel separation I mean modding one armor piece into 2 to show frame details
I’m thankful for any help or suggestions thank you

Separating the panels can be done in two ways. One is with a hobby/photo edged saw and carefully cut the piece following the panel line. The other way is using a panel line scribing tool. I recommend the one from Tamiya. Just keep scribing in the panel line until the parts are separated.
The hard thing to do is to keep the panel lines open. You…[Read more]
The grand daddy of all Gundams is coming together bit by bit. It’s the Ver.2.0, liked it a bit more then the MG version of the RG, but that’s all just personal preference.
Next time some pictures of the completed model 😉
WOW!!!!!!!! looking awesome! you should’ve bought two kits so you could display one with just the frame and the amount of detail you’re putting into it. The completed kits is going to be a master piece man.
Thank you very much, you’re making me blush 🙂
Yes, it’s almost a shame to put the armor on the frame, hence I took a lot of pictures of it.
Fortunately the knees still shows some detailing, but maybe a kit with just half armored up is an idea…
Thanks again for your nice comment!
A bit late (almost finished the RX-78-2) but nevertheless, a few more kits for the backlog and my first Japanese hobby magazine 🙂 And some little small stuff, like extra verniers, mono eyes and action bases
Unfortunately one has to be able to read Japanese, although you can pick up a lot from the pictures. Not gonna spoil anything for you, but it is a very nice magazine!
Please do share some pictures when your package comes in
When did this happen…? The PG Banshee up for pre-order? Almost everyday at HLJ to check it, didn’t see any announcement on the Gundam page, thought; click on the PG page for fun. ORDER STOP. Nooooo 🙁
Alzard and myself had the same issue. Only found out that the page for it existed through Facebook. It was never posted on the HLJ Gundam page, and still isnt. Luckily, few days after the initial Order Stop happened, it became available for Pre-order again. I kept checking every day. I suggest you keep an eye on it daily, they might get some more.…[Read more]
Only on FaceBook??? Well, HLJ has dropped the ball on that one in my opinion.
Have to be vigilant then I guess and check the site day in day out, hour after hour. And if that brings no luck, I’m sorry to say, but then someone else will get my money for it 😛
I managed to get a pre order in when I was seeing future releases on HLJ mid-last week. It was lucky because that’s the only time I had internet access for the next 4 days 😛
So, I’m throwing this out there just as I’m hoping for it dearly, please don’t hate me for asking about something related to Seed.
Since there is a HG Revive Freedom on it’s way, anyone think it’ll rub off to a new MG Freedom 2.0/RM?
I can see that happening, they’re also releasing a robot Damashii Freedom and Justice soon so those two are definitely on Bandai’s mind. I hope we’ll see a new MG of each soon.
There’s nothing wrong with liking Seed, i know there were major faults in the storyline alone and the characters seems to be a bit questionable but heck the mechs from that series are one of my favorites.
Another this i wish they make is MG of of the Meteor Unit for either Freedom or Justice. I know they came one on HG version, but i want MG!
Even though I think original MG Freedom is great as it is. I’m all for RM Version, only if that mean’s we’ll get MG Justice as well. Oh and I want MG Forbidden, Calamity and Raider Gundams too.
Yes, the original MG Freedom looks fine, apart from some design flaws, IMO, like the all joints for the hips and stickers for the beam riffle…
And I have to concur, a MG Forbidden, Calamity and Raider would be awesome. Being on the subject, how about a MG GINN, BuCue, Skygrasper and Mebius Zero?
But a Meteor Unit in MG form…? If I have to be…[Read more]
I’d love it if they made a MG GINN and the Waltfeld LaGowe and a BuCue. The Skygrasper would also be awesome if it could hook up with the striker packs
I agree that the METEOR units are huge, and probably costly but if enough interest is there, Bandai would probably make one, after all it is still a business for them.
Yes, I can’t understand why Bandai didn’t made a Sky Grasper with the release of the Strike Gundam RM. And release it with the Sword and Striker Pack like they did with the RG. I guess selling the packs as a P-Bandai exclusive brings them more money???
Also, nobody would have ever guessed they’d do a Neo Zeong, but they did. So maybe we would be…[Read more]
I really don’t think P-Bandai Items would really make that much profit for Bandai. They’re not really that expensive compared to where the original kits they’re based from plus they’re only limited run. The people who really benefit from them are the shops in Ebay or other online shops who sell them for twice the original price.
Yeah, that’s what I meant, selling the Packs as a normal release would make them more money. I guess that’s their controversial way of thinking…
I’m not too sure about using the older Packs on the RM. I believe there is a difference in the mounting parts on the shoulders, but have to check some reviews to be sure.
As I’m holding back from…[Read more]
I think I rather have a MG Saviour then a 2.0 Freedom. Unfortunately it’s not nearly as popular so Freedom seems way more likely. I wouldn’t mind though with a MG Justice too hopefully!
I agree with you that there are too much suits that deserve a MG but didn’t get one. A MG Saviour would be very nice, let alone a MG Justice. Still can’t believe why they didn’t made one at the time. But maybe we get lucky
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
