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
I recently started painting using an airbrush and I noticed that when I would paint, all that would come out would be clear liquid which I would assume is thinner, and not the actual color to be painted. I figured that I put too much thinner into the mix. What ratio of paint to thinner should I use?
depends on the paint. you kind of have to play around with it to get a ratio you like. for instance tamiya paint, some say a 1:1 ratio, i find that for 20 drops (pipette) of thinner i use 16-17 drops of paint. BUT i have been watching “Andy’s Hobby Headquarters” on youtube and he takes a fresh bottle of tamiya paint, opens it up and fills it the…[Read more]
oh also, if you are going to mix your paint and thinner in the paint cup of the air brush, i find turning the cup to the side and putting the thinner in first, trying to not let it get down where the needle is until i have mixed it with the paint helps to insure that i have all the thinner and paint mixed together
Hi @Syd and @Ryan, thanks for a great show guys. As a newbie I learn a lot from your show. Awesome! So far I only have 4 HG, really afraid I’ll do some mistake in MG. But next in the list is RG. I don’t know yet what I want to build though. Any suggetions?
I alway say to build the Mobile Suit you are most interested in. You’ll be more involved with the build. If there is a one suit that stands out to you above the others in the Real Grade line then go for that one.
Since our beloved site is down, I’ve got a question for you people: MG Gundam Origin Ver. or RG Gundam? Looking for the more fun build, more poseability, etc.
I would go with the MG Gundam Origin Ver.. Though, that’s only because I have a bias towards both MG’s and the design of the RX-78-02 Gundam from Gundam: The Origin.
Why RG? Why not MG RX-78-2 ver.3? Its mor fun than the RG, it’s bigger therefore it is more fun and durable to do many poses. As for MG Origin, don’t like it, overall design is just too plain for me, yes it has lots off gimmick weapons, but doesn’t work for me.
The 3.0 beats the origin version, eh? I only looked at the 3.0 briefly. They seem to be the same price, so maybe I’ll go for that instead. Is there a waterslide decal set for it?
Apart from backpack cannon, silly shoulder gatling gun, 3.0 beats the origin all the way to the bone. It has more armor detail, inner frame detail, articulation and the most critical of all, it has Core Fighter which is make it a Gundam. Nope, no water slide decal, both of them.
Don’t know really. I talked to Thwalker13 on Skype earlier, but he doesn’t seem to know. Normally when a blackout happens on our site, it’s up the site owners (in this case McGundam and GSaM) to hire someone to fix the problem. We used to have our own on-site technician, but he left a few years ago. So anyone know somebody who’s good at…[Read more]
Here are finally some pictures of previous finished kits of 2015. The MG Strike Freedom (not the Full Burst Mode) and the MG RX-78-2 Ver. 2.0
Pictures of the MG Aile Strike will follow soon. Now I can start weathering up the MG Zaku II Ver. 2.0 😀
