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
Snapped together my KG-6 Sleipnir kit! Was a lot of fun to do something other than Gundam. Ends up being about as tall as an average MG kit, and while there is great molded…
I definitely get what you mean, but I’ve grown to appreciate them. When standing straight up, the model’s legs are really well protected when it comes to armour coverage, while, when it bends, the different points of articulation make it look really cool, I think. So they make sense, in a military sense … I suppose
This Sleipnir is the training model designed for use by school students and was the personal unit of Aldnoah.Zero protagonist Inaho Kaizuka as it is more maneuverable than the KG-7 Areion the rest of his squad uses. Towards the end of the series he upgrades it to the space type (released Feb. 2016) which bulks the unit up considerably with…[Read more]
thanks for posting! been wondering about this kit since i saw the pre-order for it go up earlier in the year; couldn’t make up my mind whether i wanted to grab one or not. after seeing this post, i don’t think i’ll be disappointed if i go ahead and order one now. thanks again!

Yeah, will definitely be doing some sanding, but I’m wanting to do some paint/weathering too. Maybe make it look a but battle scarred, as this mech seemed to get pretty well used and abused on the show.
Great Episode Guys, Getting the 1/100 Barbatos in for Cmas here in the states and i can’t wait. I was wondering if you had heard anything else on the new series Thunderbolt and maybe the gunpla that will be accompanying it. I looked back at your episodes and 140 has some gunpla from the manga, do you think that it will be the same for anime as a…[Read more]
Bandai was quite secretive about Thunderbolt animation kits at the recent Gunpla Expo but they did show that there will be Master Grades of the kits from that series. I expect we will see the Full Armour RX-78 and the Zaku as well. Waiting to see if they do an MG version of the Zaku II with the Big Gun.
I completed these two kits a bit ago. The ikaruga kit was my first time adding a bit of paint and using waterslides. I feel like the kotobukiya kits pushed me into trying out…
Thank you for sharing, and you did a wonderful job on the paintwork. I have these kits myself too, but I haven’t had the courage to start painting. Did you paint this with airbrush or paintbrushes? The kit is excruciatingly small, and I obviously had to glue some of the parts. Dunno if it’s possible to pre-shade.
All I did with them was hand paint the details with enamels, gloss clear coat krylon acrylic, panel line wash enamel, matte coat with krylon acrylic. Take the plunge. Even if it doesn’t turn out the way you want its a learning experience. I’m buying an airbrush set this week, so I expect some failures on the way! Thanks for the encouragement.
the Gouf was my first Custom kit. so i took my time painting it. and i was giving it about it 6 to 10 hours between coats of paint so i took me around 2 to 3 weeks to finish. it was a combination of tamiya canned spray pain and some tamiya acrylic paints painted by hand.
