Nice foot…whats the problem?

Are those nubs on the inside of the left side armour piece (the 2 things around the middle and then lower part of the long gap going down before it turns inwards)? If so they could be stopping the piece from going into place.

No problem!!! Use regular cement, and sand it over the crack. Afterwards you’ll never see it.

Well I’ll try that then, I will have to pick up some very soon.

I’m like you I will soon try myself on pre shading. I’ve already trained myself on spoons for now.
From all the videos I saw on this I can say that there is two main techniques on pre shading:
– Draw black lines where your shade is then paint over it.
– Paint a darker base color on all the part then highlight it with your normal lighter color…[Read more]

did u clean the surface?

I looked at a scan of the manual and…then I remembered I couldn’t read japanese :S

But I had a friend who could read, 65% White, 35% violet those those lines, could go fluro/ram led’s if you want that full glow effect maybe

The marker is just personal preference

As said, comes down to a matter of preference. A gray line on the white part gives less of a contrast from the white than the black line. Nice subtle effect in my opinion.

FedEx seems to only appear for the pricier shipping options for me to the UK/Ireland… maybe it’s just me?

Many factors apply here, some mobile suits only come in HG, and with your paint skills they could potentially rival mg straight builds in details, hg’s are cheaper while rg’s just have that extra bit of detail that rival mg’s depending on the age.

If you plan on diorama builds hg’s/rg’s are the way to go considering so many variations of the same…[Read more]

Since you are an experience modeler, there shouldn’t be any problem for you moving to another model field. The only different is Game workshop figures are mainly hand painting, blending with minimum airbrush job. But still do ‘battle damage’ like a military, if I not wrong.

Here’s the different. Usually beginner in building Gunpla model either…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice thus far. my fav. gundam is the Deathscythe hell Custom. I am going to try and pick up a version or two of that and give it a whirl. I will try a few different kits and see what I like building. I had my mind set on the 1/100 scale, but after seeing the RG 1/144 and just the sheer variety in that scale, I will probably mostly…[Read more]

Could try coating the ball in super glue to make the ball bigger. Seems a favorite.
What kit are you swapping the hands on?

You could also cut the ball and pin from the kit hand you are replacing, and transplant it to the aftermarket hand. Cut the kit pin out with a portion of the hand, which basically gives you a longer pin, trim and sand to match the round pin section, then drill and glue the pin into the aftermarket hand. Does that make sense? I always do this…[Read more]
