Hi guys. I started working on Zephyranthes today. The core fighter took way longer to build than I expected but boy… what a treat! The decals didn’t fit too well so I had to trim most of them. Checkout my pics. Ty!
Try turpenoid. It’s a LOT safer than turpentine and a muuuuch weaker dissolver. Put a little bit on a paper towel and start (gently) rubbing it (in one direction) on the painted surface. The quicker you do it the better too. Don’t want that oil marker to dry too fast. From my experience it hasn’t weakened the plastic part at all because I use the…[Read more]
I would actually suggest that you buy Simple Green instead. Chemically, it doesn’t disrupt the double bonds of polystyrene and ABS like other reagents would. This means that you can have your oil-covered piece of plastic on it for days and the plastic won’t get eaten up.
If you’re not using it for plastic, Simple Green’s great for cleaning…[Read more]
Hi everyone. Spent what little time I had today to build the Banshee head. I sharpened the V fins and coloured them gold using a marker. I coloured the the inner frame bronze too. I’m not really satisfied with the results though.

Which grade is this one? I’m trying to find the Unicorn Gundam Banshee Ver. Ka. Final Battle edition. I know they they’re re-stocking those and couldn’t find them at a convention I was at.
@Gunpla007 It ok, in scratch building I’m too a bit of a noob. It’s Sheet Styrene from 0.5 to 1.5mm thickness. I believe you can get some from our friendly neighborhood HLJ… I will also be using Strip styrene tubs.
I hope is not too late to know…in case you can’t find it. Styrene sheet can found in hlj by the name Evergreen. Where plastic card can look into Tamiya Pla-plate, thin plastic card should be Hobby Base (0.14mm thickness) and of course, I do think Wave got some too… (not really sure as I mainly using Tamiya pla-plate and hobby base) Hope that help. 🙂
Hi everyone! I’m really excited to join this competition. This is my first time so thanks in advance for all your suggestions and feedback. I’m torn between these two kits so I’ll do both. The stack of boxes are the kits I’ve completed or still working on.
Looks awesome! Heaps of detail. Can’t wait to see the finished kit!
Very nice work! the panel lining was done very well.
Thanks. It was all done with gundam pens.
good job looks nice
Thank you.
