Hey all, quick speculation question here. 2015 is the 20th anniversary for Wing and with the Tallgeese, Bandai was touting the “leo frame,” anyone else smelling a MG Leo in 2015?
Could very well be possible as the Tallgeese definitely has the option to display in Prototype form which is almost identical to the Leo, but it would be odd to have an MG grunt suit before an HG. It is still a mystery to me why they have never made a Leo kit before.
Though I would like to see them push out the other RG Wing kits next year which…[Read more]
I’m worried that if we do end up with RGs of the final form EW gundams we’ll miss out on them in MG.
They were showing off parts from the “MG V2 Buster” at the Gundam Breaker booth so that’d be a amazing MG for 2015 to go along with a very easily made Astray Turn Red and Jesta Cannon.
That is a worry of mine as well, I’ve been craving a MG Heavyarms Kai and Sandrock Kai since I built the standard versions but If they make them I’ll be a happy guy. One suit I’m secretly hoping for is the Serpent.
I am looking into getting a airbrush set up but need some help. I have never airbrushed before so I have no idea what to look for. I was told the badger renegade velocity was a good brush but I figured I would ask for some of your opinions.
I would also like to know what other items I should get along with a airbrush and compressor.
Any…[Read more]
i dont mind spending a little more if it gets me a solid airbrush. I figured buying a more expensive one up front wouldnt hurt as long as I dont break it. I just want to make sure what im getting wont be to hard to use and will work properly lol. If the pack you linked works well for you then I may get it.
well its actually better if u start with something cheap. buying something expensive doesnt always mean its the best but starting out is always better to start small and get more experience and then go to the big guns using a cheap airbrush and a expensive airbrush itll be the same with how they operate and plus breaking an airbrush is really easy…[Read more]
alright yeah ill probably end up getting the one you recommended. I was just worried that it wouldnt spray as nice or something lol. Thanks for the help.
There is no reason not to buy a good airbrush right away. And mind you, expensive doesn’t always mean good. And breaking an airbrush….? There are two weak things on an airbrush and those are the needle and the nozzle. As long as you take care in not bending the needle or over torque the nozzle, you’ll be fine.
In buying an airbrush, the first…[Read more]
I’d suggest going with a single action airbrush first. a dual or double action airbrush is just an added complication you don’t need to be dealing with, though when you’re more comfortable with airbrushing then you may want to go get a double action it’ll give you better control of the paint and airflow. Other than that you definitely want to…[Read more]
I was thinking the same thing about the single action but I’m not sure I want to buy a airbrush and then buy another one within a few months or a year. Are double actions that much harder? I was told to get a double action. Also I can’t believe I didn’t think about the airbrush holder lol. That wouldn’t of been good. Thanks for the suggestion.
well double action theres alot more controlling u have to do and it take a while to get used to it it aint too bad but it takes some time to get used to single action theres no control over ur spraying its just like coming out of a spray can just normal air and u cant control how much paint u want on it
yes the holder is easy to overlook but if you start spraying and don’t have one it’ll get on your shopping list pretty fast lol.
the double action airbrushes give you more control over paint and airflow, which can be nice, but for just basic painting a single action is good enough. it’s up to you how you want to go about it. if you think you’re…[Read more]
MG Star Build Strike is finally done. This is my first time paint on details with acrylic paint. It’s not the cleanest, but I learned a lot. I think I’ll be much better on the…
If you are talking about the armor parts and all those stuff, I didn’t use any paint. I simply top coated the entire model, except clear parts, with Krylon Matte.
For little details like bean rifles or under its feet, I use acrylic paint I purchased from a local hobby store. It’s called “The Army Paint – Warpaint”.
Again nothing special just a bit of panel lining (not sure if you can see it in the pic) overall a fun build. While transforming it to the waverider mode isn’t really fun it’s also not complex as alot of people make it out to be.
It’s been a long time since my last post. But here is my latest build, finally got round to doing the decals. The PG 00 Raiser. It’s a good build, but more MG type of build. Unlike the first PG’s which required a lot more work. But still a very nice kit to look at.
If you can get over the price. It’s easier than the RX-78-2 3.0. But for me it wasn’t as fun as the older PG kits which I found harder and more fun. Plus those are cheaper. But I am a big fan of the 00 so it’s still worth buying.
My completed MG Sinanju Ver. Ka. The gold trim was painted with tamiya gold leaf and i didn’t like the grey mold on the thruster so i painted them with a gundam marker. Also the tubes on the chest and waist were painted the same color..to many nub marks 🙂
NG 1/144 Zaku Tank.
Finnaly got some decent photos of the zaku. Most of the build could be seen in the “what are you building?” group so no lenghty explanation. Things i liked…
Wow, turned out really nice! The aging looks really well. Seems like it is in business for many years. Love the hostage photo. It even looks like there is a expression on the Zaku Tank, like:”Huh? What the hell happened? How did I get in this situation?” LOL. Great job!!!
To be honest i fell like i overdid a “bit” on the tank part. I’m more satisfied with how the zaku part of the tank turned up especially if i compare it to the bottom part – texturing for it feels very weak.
MG Build Strike straight build.
I painted on the inner frame details but I doubt it’s shown in these pictures. The best spot you can see is one the beam rifle. I also sprayed matte top coat on. Since I’m not a big fan of the back pack of this kit so, as you might have spotted, I will be working on the Star Build Strike pack soon. For now, I’m…[Read more]
Hi, I’m pretty much new here and somewhat to gunpla. My first kit was the MG destiny gundam back in 2011 and it looks horrible… I had no idea on proper removal of the parts…
Normal strike freedom. Didn’t think the full burst was worth the extra money. Might have gotten it if the kit had the wings of light like the destiny extreme blast kit
