Hello guys.
I just built my first MG, the Astray Red Frame!
Anyway, i cant find a way to mount it in a action base without the use of the huge sword/backpack it has.
The manual tells me to insert a piece under the skirt and then use that piece to mount it on the action base.
I have the piece in place, but I cant find a way to insert that in the…[Read more]
yea u need the big action base the one usually used for the mg sold separately the one given to u in the box of the astray is for the use of the big sword/bow and arrow as a support so it doesnt fall down and such but to get the astray on a stand with that adaptor u gotta use an action base http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN948215/Sup
Having seen a preview of Gundam: The Origin, Blue Eyed Casval I noticed that the MS-06R used by the Black Tri-Stars is based on the established MSV version. This got me thinking about whether the construction of the legs for the Origin Ver. Zaku will be similar to the MS-06 which could make it possible to Make a Zaku II Johnny Ridden Custom Origin…[Read more]
Hello 🙂
I want to start building kits, seems like something fun.
But im not sure where to start, or better said what kit would be good.
I would like a PG, because they are big and look awesome.
I saw the hobbylink episode where they said there is a PG Eva 01(im an evangelion fan), but I think i do not want to start with that one.
I think starting with 1 or 2 HG’s would be good, mainly just so you can get used to working with plastic. After those you could probably build a PG, though it may still be a little tricky.
As for cool sworded HG gundams there’s the Astray Blue Frame 2nd L http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN981942/Gun other than that, ones I like are the Unicorn Gundam…[Read more]
Yes it does, though, just a small one to keep it off the ground. If you’re wanting a stand for the ABF itself for aerial poses then an action base 2 would work well for this guy http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN950540/Sup .
There is some truth in what Nick says, but if you’re confident enough and can read a manual, I my opinion, you should be able to do a PG without a problem.
My first Gunpla was a PG… And if I can do it, so can anybody else.
If you are planning to paint the kit in any form, and don’t have any experience, I suggest practicing on a HG or even a…[Read more]
Thanks.
Definetely not going to try painting for now, specially a PG.
That one you linked looks cool, I might end with more kits than I initially planed lol
I’d say if you want to just test the waters then the SD line is a great and cheep place to start. and something like SD Quan[t] has a pretty cool sword. The reason I say this is cause they have few pieces use some polycaps and have a few stickers, so they cover all the basics and don’t cost very much but as mentioned a PG won’t have you doing…[Read more]
Yeah, I looked at some pictures of the EVA semi completed and it looks very simple inside compared to other PGs. Taking away the one of the features the PGs have of seeing pistons move or other similar things.
sinanju since that kit prob has the most sleeves u can possibly get if not then u could just use pla plate and mold ur own like how goodguy dangunpla did for his geara doga
I will add that you should use the Tamiya thinner (X20) when thinning Tamiya paints. It’s formulated differently from most other acrylic paints on the market. This means you might get some very bad results if you use a thinner intended for a different brand of paint.
MKII is a beast. Only mg I don’t have from build fighters. Fingers crossed. And I beleive the GBF stands for gundam build fighters. I beleive its a kit we haven’t seen fully yet in the new series. Great show guys, but I think the ladies need some bigger kits. 😛
Just a short question here, does Tamiya spray paint metallic orange go well with Tamiya spray paint bright mica red? Need some reply as not sure what colour to buy to fit the metallic orange
they should go quite well together metallic and mica both get a nice sparkle to the paint, I think Mica actually sparkles more but it shouldn’t be overpowering either
I want to ask if any of you have tried if the RG sword\launcher pack fit on the HGCE Strike. i know the back connectors are different, and have to mod either the strike kit or the packs, but i am more interested about the armor part : eg sword shoulder armor, and launcher shoulder armor – do the fit the HGCE Strike or don’t they?
if u r using the action base given u r using the wrong action base u have to buy that separately
I need an action base 1?
yea u need the big action base the one usually used for the mg sold separately the one given to u in the box of the astray is for the use of the big sword/bow and arrow as a support so it doesnt fall down and such but to get the astray on a stand with that adaptor u gotta use an action base http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN948215/Sup
Too bad they did not make it compatible with action base 2.
Thanks, I will be buying that
well those really are for HG’s and used sometimes in MG to help support larger weapons but they really aren’t meant to take a whole MG kit.
and that action base is too small for the astray or any MG kits
