Hey syd I figured I would ask you if you would like to become a judge for an upcoming contest I am holding. To celebrate the summer time and to give everybody something fun to enjoy together this year. I don’t really have anything set in stone just yet but I am looking for feedback for what people want to see in a contest and for judges. […] View
This is probably my favorite post I’ve seen. GP01 Zephyranthes is my favorite mobile suit, and to see this amount of detail is a so great! I can’t wait to obtain the skill to do something like this to one of my own builds
Just some of my current work on my RG 00 Gundam and the pilot figure. Still figuring out what I am going to do with the parts that are blue paint wise.
FINALLY! the Gundams have arrived! the first one shown is my own personal, custom painted kitbash of the Try Burning Gundam, G-Self, and the Transient Gundam: The Gundam…
It’s a good start for a first time. Always remember, you have nowhere to go but up, so make sure you plan out something even more challenging for your next go, or take some time to practice your painting, part clean up, etc by building some kits without any alterations or kitbashing, and try your hand at making dioramas. There is so much to learn…[Read more]
Build Fighters Honoo is serialised in Hobby Japan so you’d have to buy all the issues published in the last year or so. But if you’re only interested in the Freedom Gundam Feder you could just get Hobby Japan October 2015 when it comes out next month.
I see. I really want all of the magazines with the Honoo series so I’ll try asking my suppliers here if they could get all of them from Jan 2014 til today.
ok, so the gundam crystal-self isn’t posted yet, but that’s because I have to paint 2 purple pieces that are part of the torso but aside from that its done but I’ve been watch…
This is what I’m currently working on. It’s base is a Gundam Ez-SR kit. I’ve added weapons from some weapons kits and the hands from a different Gundam kit. I was a little…
looks great! 🙂 lore-wise does the machine have some kind of EXAM system? or is it more focused on artillery and firepower? sorry, its just something I like to do to give custom gunpla like the ones I make interesting in both appearance and lore related weapons if it were an actual mobile suit. 😀 anyways hope it comes out great!
An EXÀM system is and was a counter measure that mechanized newtype abilities into a mobile suit allowing normal pilots to face off against newtypes, its ok if you made this for a cool lookin set. Like I said I just like giving any custom made gunpla that extra bit of flavor that, in a sense, makes it seem stronger 🙂
ok two questions
1. i just got a beargguy (SO ADORABLE TTTTTTT) well i want to paint it into the 1989 batman and i got everything painted except i have no clue how to do the…
it has a little transparency but opaque for the most part. looks like fluorescent orange paint to me. or it could just be a heavy coating of clear orange with flat coat. i don’t see any traces of a silver coat underneath though.
On the Batman symbol, I would take a big piece of masking tape and draw the symbol on it, cut it out, place it on the chest and then use paint to either brush or spray it in.
With the Banshee, the Psycho Frame looks to be a Orange Yellow (Mr.Hobby # C58). If you like it to be, you could mix it with some fluorescent paint to get it to light up…[Read more]
thx i tried that idea @teetee580 but the problem is that the symbol is so very tiny that its impossible to do ive tried it a good solid 7 times (yes i counted)
thanks for giving me an idea for the banshee daverb and teetee i wasnt too sure but my problem is that my hobby shop doesnt sell mr color they only sell tamiya so i dont think the…[Read more]
That’s indeed a lot of times. I guess liquid masking is out of the question too. The only way I can think of now is getting a waterslide for the symbol. I don’t know if you have a printer, so you could give it a go yourself. Or you could contact Samuel for some costume ones.
Yes, if Tamiya paints are your only option then a fluorescent mix is out…[Read more]
You’re welcome of course. I don’t know either, when putting a clear yellow on top of a silver, it gives a goldish effect, never tried it with orange. Think I’ll try it myself too. Anyways, good luck with your projects!
