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
The first two MGs the ReZEL Type C Defenser A+B Unit GR colors and the Sinanju OVA are not recently finished kits but I’ll post them here anyway because I haven’t done so yet…
MG 2.0 Zaku I resin conversion complete 😛
Resin kit was purchased off taobao from the original caster, sadly out of print now.
Frame used is an MG 2.0 Chars Zaku II
Inner…
HGBF Gundam Portent.
Fully painted according to the manual except the frame in Tamiya Gunmetal and the yellow parts in Mr Color laquer Super Gold with Alclad II Black Gloss Base.
I also did the One Point Technic with a holographic sheet.
i finished modding my zeong and i started to paint it however when i did after the paint dried i could see the surface of the plastic to be all scratchy from sanding it down and such is there a way to get rid of that look like prime it or something??
What you can do is prime to see where it’s rough. If you use a grey primer then it’s easy to see changes in the surface and so, easy to try and fix. This is the best way I’ve found to smooth out plastic.
What Nick said is true, but you’ll be looking for a primer with “micro filler” added to it. Of course you need to sand it after priming it. For a flat paint, a 800 grid sandpaper will do, for gloss and metallics, a 1000 or 1200 grid sandpaper is needed. And you need to get a primer that is compatible with the paint you are using, provided you want…[Read more]
so i have to prime it with tamiyas since im using tamiya paints but after that i still have to resand it but wouldnt that create a more scratchy rough surface though??
If you are using the Tamiya acrylics, you can’t prime your parts with Tamiya Primer spray cans, nor the Tamiya Surface Primer which comes in a bottle. Both are lacquers and will ruin your messed up paint job even more!
There are two options for you, one being that you use some more paint to thicken the surface and then sand it smooth, the other is…[Read more]
Right now i already stripped off the original paint for the tamiya primer so all i have to do is prime it up then check for scratched surfaces then sand it n then re prime n then paint?
just finished a rg chars zaku II i touched it up with a little metalic paint specifically copper silver and aluminium . i also just finished a rg strike freedom which i also touched up with some gold some blue and a tint bit of red
I am pretty new to the Gunpla hobby, but it is all thanks to @syd and @ryan for getting me into this awesome hobby. So far I have built 3 MG’s and I am working on a PG Astray Red Frame.
Well, don’t think it’s official yet, but it looks like the next RG is going to be from Wing series, like what originally had anticipated. However, instead one of the rest of the four gundams, it’s going to be another Wing, XXXG-01W. Hopefully it’s more than just swapping the feather wings and few pieces. Wonder if it can be transformed…..
I am pretty new to Gunpla, with only 3 completed kits under my belt. I am building a PG Red Frame atm. But Gunpla has rocketed into first place of all my hobbies, and I will be building alot in the future.
Those are three pretty looking kits! Build the PG Red Fame myself and I know you’re enjoying it at the moment.
If I may add, you’ve got an excellent taste in suit designs.
Good luck and happy building!
