Very nice collection and puts my collection of gentei RGs to shame. I dig the green destiny and the blue exia is quite nice as well. Is that the deactive strike freedom in the back?
Great episode and glad to see you guys back. The Unicorn looks great and hopefully i’ll be able to get my hands on one once HLJ gets them back in. I have a question about painting on the runners, how much flash/seam line issues did you run into? i paint and detail my frames since i feel they are not “complete” otherwise, and i sand lots of seam…[Read more]
That is a very nice build. im a fan of massive weapon payloads and this thing is great, i am truly in awe of this beast. I might recommend an orange and grey color scheme for this. Cant wait to see how it looks with some color
I’m going to smash these 4 together and see what I get 😉 there will be a full WIP on my FB page for those interested. More posts once I get to some of the modifications
Well now i just have to wait for HLJ to get the RG Wing Zero back in… At least i can look at pretty pictures and try to learn Japanese in the mean time.
well this one is finally done, until the water slides i ordered come in. So much weight from all those weapons makes this one rather limited when it comes to poses. Those fuel…
personally i just throw some paint on a kit and hope it dosen’t look like crap. My Sazabi Ver Ka is the prime example. Im working on a custom color nu-gundam right now and im thinking about a color scheme for my hi-nu with the HWS. I’m thinking about replacing the purple with a burnt orange but im still in the planning process on that one.
While im waiting for a package full of plastic to arrive, i figured i would get some work done on the nu ver ka. Im trying to get as much done before the kits for my monster kit bash come in.
Did you allow the gloss coat to completely cure before putting on the flat coat? What kind of gloss and flat did you use (laquer, acrylic?) Did you spray outside in the cold?
I had the same problem with my MG Destiny. The flat coat was the worst of the two. It even happened with the gloss acrylic from Tamiya.
I did some searching on the web back then.
For the gloss it’s advised to spray two fogged layers and one final all covering one with a minimum of twelve minutes between coats. But it didn’t work for me. I sprayed…[Read more]
well what happend was i used the tamiya and it frosted up the entire head i used future for gloss coat and that didnt do any dmg but the tamiya destroyed my kit can i ask what kind of flat coat do u use i was thinking maybe i should use modelmaster but better safe than sorry i suppose
In threw the Tamiya in the trash and ordered Alclad II Klear Kote Matte. Didn’t had any trouble with it so far, but only used it ones on a model plane a few weeks back. But keep in mind, this is an enamel based clear, regardless of what the brand name implies.
There are some people that state that the Tamiya matte (X-21 if I recall correctly) is…[Read more]
well from what i read it said on pledge future it is acrylic so dik but about the flat coat is that flat coat the same one u used on ur hi nu also and did u just lightly spray it or how so
So I got a bunch of plastic for the holiday and i got a few (less than half) of the weapons on the clear unicorn. I think its time to start on the pink and green nu with some…
The FA Unicorn is looking great, have you thought about getting the PG Unicorn? Also, that’s a really cool colour scheme for a Nu, it’ll look really nice with your Sazabi.
Great episode as usual guys. Im not a HG guy but the amount of effects parts in the build burning is very nice. Syd what are you most excited about getting to see at the expo? im really hoping they announce something about other wing suits in the RG line. Also getting a look at the PG unicorn will decide if i take the plunge into the PG line. Also…[Read more]
Some experimenting with sharpie and chrome paint got me the effect that i was looking for. This is turning out do be an interesting build with lots of super tiny parts.
The weather and timing finally worked out and i was able to snap some shots of the finished Sazabi. I wish i could have had this guy finished for the GBWC but gunpla ADD got…
Bad lighting and poor camera quality are the main cause. Better resolution pics on my FB page. I hear what you are saying about the decals blending into the background on clear kits, but i really enjoy the effect it gives.

Thanks for the kind words. There really is glitter embedded in the clear (white) runners in this kit. The nub marks on those i cleaned up with tooth paste and a cotton swab. The inner frame and the blue (feet) are done in a gloss injection style plastic so those gate marks are impossible to remove. The placement of some of the decals will hide…[Read more]
