Hi @Syd and @Ryan! I’d like to thank you both for teaching me how to properly build and paint model kits! I built the MG RX-78 back in 2001, but I didn’t really touch the hobby again until 2012 when I was desperate for a Deathscythe Hell figure. The Deathscythe build went so well I started researching how to do better, and I quickly found Syd’s…[Read more]
Hi @Syd and @Ryan I was rewatching all the previous Gunpla TV and notice that few times people have been commenting about virtual on kits..when will you do it since Bandai wont have any interesting kits apart from PG Banshee and MG Rx78-2 Origin.
@Ryan and @Syd
Just finished the latest episode and was psyched you read my comment! Ask and you shall receive. I did these guys while the wife was away for the weekend and gave them to her for her desk at work when she got back. I scribed in the glasses and used some tamiya putty for texture on the beard. The ponytail is my actual hair.
Keep up…[Read more]
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]
Ryan, i always curious about your ma.k collection. Can you show me (or us) your finished ma.k kits? And one more. Are they expensive? Excuse my broken english. Thank you very much.
Question on water slides: why are they so difficult to get? HLJ is not the only place on the web that sells them but everywhere is the same: huge and permanent out of stocks. So Syd and Ryan do you know why those water slides are so hard to get world wide? I hate the stickers, even the latest “RG style” ones and I never start a kit if I don…[Read more]
they’re not released frequently..my waterslides I’ve to wait for few months the same as the LED set from hlj..I just ordered them even being backordered but my waiting usually fruitfull except for my MG RX-78-2 3.0 waterslides they have to take out from my order since Bandai discontinued them..maybe I’ve to make it myself since I can get the…[Read more]
Hi guys, I have a question regarding top coats. First off, could the Tamiya bottles be used as a top coat to protect paint and decals? Second and more importantly, could I use…
in my experience, those top coats are good for anything, just that whenever you flat top coat your kits, you should always in a warm weather or having warm, bright sun around so that we can avoid frosting effects which is not good for your kit. Always use thinner so that it will thin out the topcoats for better results.
The Mr. Super Clear is a lacquer based top coat, so you’ll have to keep the same precautions in mind.
Stickers and dry transfers aren’t that weak as water slides, so a normal coat on top of them will work fine.
The Tamiya XF-86 is normally used to be mixed with gloss colors, or gloss clears to get a flat paint/clear. When painted directly on a…[Read more]
