Hello everyone, I’m working on my second RG Zaku, and this one I want to paint, is it okay to paint the inner frame? I wanna do it in silver so you can see it with the armor split, Im gonna paint my RG GP01 when it gets here in a few days, so please can someone help
I’ve painted the inner frames of all my RG’s so far and they’ve been fine. Usually I just give them a dusting of Alclad chrome or aluminium to bring out the details.
If ur afraid of painting it juz use gundam marker..RG is small so marker should do it fine..I’m thinking of collecting all the RG line and as for now I have only the Justice and RX-78-2..they are so small to work with that u appreciate how bandai made it so freakin detail..got to love them..as they only have 13 line except for special version this…[Read more]
Since the RG Strike Freedom has been confirmed for release, it is safe to say that Bandai is making RG kits from SEED Destiny. They followed the progression from Strike to Freedom and now to Strike Freedom. Any chance they will follow up the Justice with the Infinite Justice?
I was expecting them to bring out SF and IJ but not so soon. SEED is popular, even some haters say something else. It’s only logically to start with the normal MS to the Powerhouses. The whole SEED gang should be completed soon if Bandai releases 4 to 5 RG MS/year. IF and Legend/Providence should follow (hope). I think after that Bandai will go on…[Read more]
It’s harder to do the equipment swap with Impulse since it changes color… You’d need to swap out the whole chest pretty much, in addition to the feet and shoulders and various other bits of armor.
This is so messed up, I know the RG line has been so far 2 U.C. Kits then a seed, but come on, they have the freedom why did they have to make the strike freedom? That’s stupid, I get the two zakus the two mkIIs and the two GP01s but wtf Bandai? Kill the seed ad bring in G gundam or wing, seed and age are horrible
I’m not to thrilled about this RG either. Maybe its because i’m a Shin/Destiny fan, but I don’t think we need the Strike Freedom in addition to the Strike, and the Freedom. There are a lot of kits that deserve some love and RG would be a perfect way to do it. But I do understand why it is the Strike Freedom, apparently a lot of people like the…[Read more]
i would love to see a Unicorn or Sinanju in RG but that will not happen anytime soon… so how about keeping it with the original series and going like guntank or guncannon i would buy those in a heartbeat.
I can see why you wouldn’t want to try it here then. 🙂
Here’s the thing: assembled kit parts are under stress. Snap-fit pegs lock together with tension, polycaps are held in place by tension, etc. Exposing the stressed plastic to too much of certain chemicals can weaken it slightly, enough for that tension to crack the parts.
In the past I’ve…[Read more]
Wow. Very detailed! I was thinking the same.
Anyway… I am psychologically unstable to attempt any panel wash. For now, I will stick with my panel line marker, cotton bud, toothpick and eraser. They are much safer. :p
Understandable, after having a model destroyed by a wash!
But when you’re ready to try again, get a cheap kit to experiment on, and let me know if you have any questions.
On my first RG I used the grey sumi-ire pen that came with the basic gundam. It wasn’t too difficult. Once I started using the actual lining pens, it was a bit easier on RG’s. I’ve had about a 50/50 success for lining on and off the runner. Sometimes you just gotta judge what is best for each piece.
