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
Hello there.
Me, I only build MG’s and PG’s so I’m a bit spoiled when it comes to seam lines, so I spray all the pieces before assembly. However, on a few older MG’s there are some nasty joints in the head. What I do is paint the face plate, the in- and outside of the cheek plates, glue the head with the face plate in place together and then fill…[Read more]
That’s unfortunate, but I haven’t checked Gentei kits but I’ve seen pre-order prices ranging from $245-$480, really wish bandai would have released this as a parts set since that would be the only way to get that green psychoframe,but fortunately I don’t already have a PG Unicorn , but I would love to put that psycho frame into the Banshee if I…[Read more]
Gentei-kits is good, I’ve used them a few times. The whole P-Bandai thing is unfortunate, because there are a lot of exclusive kits that would sell very well in the general market. However, they’re forced to do it because of their limited manufacturing/production capacity, and a few of the model kits are niche designs/variants of existing kits.
Update on the progress, I have managed to fit most of the Fenice Rinascita parts onto the frame arms girl stylet.
currently deciding on a colour scheme for her,
Thanks it took me a day to figure how to fit the parts, some parts had to be cemented a few modified then cemented, but most of it is still removeable.
I am am fairly sure you can fit the Fram arm parts onto the FA: Girls it wouldn’t be too much trouble considering they are very similar I think it should be a easy kit bash.
What paint would you guys recommend for painting an inner frame gunmetal, I’m thinking between doing a dark high gloss finish or a lighter matte finish with silver dry brushing.
I myself use an automotive paint, decant it and put it straight trough the airbrush. I’ve used Alclads Gun Metal in the past once and although it was a great paint in terms of spraying and looks, it wasn’t worth it for me. In any case, you can spray all types of paint on the ABS, as long as you use a primer, even if it is lacquer. The primer I use…[Read more]
Thanks, I never thought about decanting but that should open up more options for me since I’m a little hesitant to use a laquer like alclad, maybe when I have more money and experience I’ll give it a whirl.
Hey, guys! Posting here after a while…
This is a model I completed some weeks ago, it was for a Facebook group competition; it’s the 1/144 Gogg, from 1981. ^_^
The backpack, manipulators and weapons are still under construction, but the mobile suit itself is finished. No weathering, just some pre-shading with a gloss top coat
After much consideration I think I will attempt to convert this frame arms girl into gundam feince rinascita girl!
did a very quick sticky tack modification,This is what I…
