cheers mate, the only thing i can recommend if anyone is going to try something similar is to have a good supply of tiny drill bits and use epoxy glue for the fibre optics. model glue and super glue eats the stuff, and you wont know until you go to test the lights
looks like i got bumped up too. considering that i had little experience with painting and LEDs i dont know whether to be pissed or happy that it made the cut
Yes you did. saw u entry in the advanced group. .. I love your led mods on the macross ship so much. so well executed. As u say.. not easy to pull it off with this small scale. I would love to get this kit too.. so much details!.. fun to see it coming to life

the sinanju’s were sold out when i did my last order and the postage to Australia is horrendous. i was hoping for a re-release of the yamato 2199 kit but its been over a year and even with the new series nothings come up. maybe i can sneak another order when the missus is away. zoids are interesting but not really my thing but i have a bootleg…[Read more]
the white gold highlights are hard to see with pictures too. i thought the kit was too garish with bright gold. also the blue tint silver on the piping and underframe doesnt really pop out in the photos…..ah well its been posted enough.
onto the next kit, cant say that im enthusiastic.
that was a fun build and i dont think there will be many…[Read more]

It is not that massive, but sure same in style. If you like complex mechanics in a build, you really should have a look at a HMM Zoid. The details of those Koto-kits always blow my mind.

cheers guys. yup otaku its a ver ka (200+ fiddly decals)….. and it was over 50 spoons its just that i stopped counting after i used a whole pack.
trying to mix auto and hobby paints had some issues. clogged airbrush and some of the thinners for the top coat ate the test decals.
you cant really see the different reds so i’ll try for some outside…[Read more]
well got the hang of the airbrush now and my 3rd painted kit is finished. thinking i should have done this kit for the plamo comp but it’s not very original-
Really nice finish of one of the most awesome kits. With a Sazabi on the workbench you have to go all out. And people went crazy on it. It is still something that is not crossed ony todo list. I like your dark shiny interpretation of the red.

well nearly done my 3rd painted kit and i wanted a shiny sazabi. thought about doing this kit for the plamo comp, but glossy sazabis are pretty common on the net so i tried something different………now for 200 friggin decals
i saw it as more as a challenge to do something different. the fact i finished something worth posting (despite the maddening frustration) was an achievement. I actually liked looking at what other do and it has helped my next build. I wouldn’t get too hung up about prizes but they were a good incentive…..im more pissed that after the results…[Read more]
