Just finished my hi-nu ver ka ,I was going to change the color but kept it because I don’t have purple kits , did pretty much a straight build with panel lining and some 3rd party waterslides
Got my hand on a cheap Sazabi ver Ka. So a quick questions to the people who build one. Are there any tricky parts during the build? Did anyone tried doing the led mod on a sazabi?
My only problem I had was keeping track of all those pieces. Oh and be careful around the wrist armor. My Sazabi took a shelf dive and cracked the piece in half. Luckly it’s on the inside and still stays on. The hands can be a little finicky too. It feels like mine don’t like to stay connected to the arm firmly.
how much for the sazabi and where???????????
i bought two sazabis and there are no problems to it with mine except for the hands i guess painting it though if you want to stick to the original scheme is tricky if you dont have the right colors at ur hobby shop but other than that its a pretty damm good worth kit id build sazabi ten times over if i want to
Got it online. Bought it from a user that had to quit the hobby but still had some unopened MG’s. Sadly im way in a RED cause he had some sweet prices and kits. Like Z 2.0 for 40 usd and so on. He would even give me bigger discount if i bought more of his kits.
i build mine with no real issues to report. the hands not feeling like they are in place is something that Syd talked about on gunplaTV and as long as you seat the polycap in the wrist properly the connection is very solid. I did and hand paint color swap and there were not many difficult parts of the build. are you planning on painting it? i…[Read more]
Ill think about painting it. Right now the kit will go into the backlog since i started to finally paint some of my old kits (current project Gouf Flight type – right now im removing the seam lines)
Actually for mine, the issue with the hands is not because the polycaps are not seated properly, but because the polycaps are too shallow and moving them too much will cause the hand to pop out. I can make him hold his guns and he can carry them still some what (the sheer weight and size is too much for the polycaps themselves to handle) but…[Read more]
i built two and for both i had issues with the hands the only other thing i felt fustrated was the joints in the legs and hips connecting them i want to mod it and make it like the sinanju legs but no idea how to
An airbrush will be more professional but paint it whichever way you like! All that matters is that you have fun with it and get the results that please you. I paint all my kits by hand personally. May not be the Pro choice but it produces the look and feel I am going for with my kits.
I have to agree with wldeyoung on this one. Whether the model is hand painted, airbrushed or sprayed using a rattle can, as long as you are having fun doing it. There in only one wrong way making a model, and that is when you’re not having fun doing it.
And in my humble opinion, hand painting is far more difficult and time consuming than spraying…[Read more]
wide young and teetee580 tell it like it is. You can do whatever you want with Gunpla but be sure you enjoy whatever it is you choose to do. It is a hobby and the purpose of hobbies is to create enjoyment for yourself.
Just got My new 1/72 Blade Liger AB Leon Renewal from HLJ. I built one when I was young back in 2002ish so i had to get the new :). Going to start right after this post. (cant post photo as i lack a camera or phone)
Yeah HLJ probably had the biggest sale from what I recall. I also remember Barnes & Noble had a pretty good coupon along with membership discount though they don’t really carry much.
This is not exactly a gunpla modeling question but its still related to gunpla. What do you do with your gunpla boxes? do you keep them or throw them away? i’ve been keeping all of mine but im running out of room to store them.
I actually keep mine too, but only the lids. I sort of disassemble them so they get flat. Then I store them in a large PG box. This way I’ll have all the boxes, yet they take little room to store. Oh, and I throw the bottom sections out
So far kept all of my HGUC and RG boxes fully 3D as it’s nice to see them all lined up in order. As for MGs I have about half of them 3D and the other half just the flattened lids like @teetee580 ‘s ones.
Ok am starting my Nu ver ka. I will have no problem to put LEDs for the psychoframe but I am worried about the Funnels-How do I put LEDs in them and make it removeable/attacheable from/to the backpack?
Any ideas anyone?
I’m thinking really hard on this. As for now, I can only think of two solutions. And that depends on when you want them to light up.
The first option is when you want to get them light up on the backpack and still want them to be able to be taken off. You could make copper contacts in the “c” hook on the backpack to make contact with the funnels.…[Read more]
Thanks for the ideas! I was also thinking about “Pin Connectors” that look like earphone jacks but very tiny! This will be easy to mount on the stand for when the funnels are deployed but am not really keen on how to attach it on the backpack and make it light up. Infact I also got the BTF 12 funnels that also got psychoframe.
I will try your…[Read more]
No worries, I’ll keep an eye out on the site for any updates on the subject. Placing the six funnels that come with the stand and keeping the 12 BTF ones on the Nu can make it somewhat easier. Using those “Pin Connectors” for attaching the six normal funnels to the base is a great idea! I wish you lots of fun building the Nu. I’m sure you will, I…[Read more]
I built the BTF funnels and yeah am already having headaches on how to create “unpluggable” parallel circuits to feed each groups of LEDs in each funnel when connected to the Backpack,lolz! I think it’s not feasible without using 6 pairs of pins per funnel. I am really contemplating the idea of making the BTF funnel permanent on the backpack.
On…[Read more]
I take it you are planning to use six connectors per funnel so they can be placed on the backpack in whatever order you want… That’s a huge task. I’m just thinking up loud, but isn’t it feasible making the connectors to slide up and down? Making the connectors that stick out in a “T” shape. And letting it slide where the teeth are originally to…[Read more]
Wow the build was awesome. I only built the PG Astray and the Nu ver ka sure felt like PG with all the layers in the frame.
I have put LEDs in the torso and arms. Now working on the legs. The arms were frustrating-very limited space and it was impossible to disassemble the forearms without breaking the armor piece. And after all my efforts I…[Read more]
I just recently finished my RG Mk-II. Instead of the original color scheme, I decided to try the original, typical lead Gundam color scheme which I think looks nice, but the dark blue look is probably better. It is also my first time playing with Tamiya weathering pigments. Might have been a bit over done, but definitely learned a lot!
Some people post links to their photo’s for the time being. However, there is a post in the Completed Models section about 17 hours old. It seems that the problem has been fixed
I just finished my 2 NG 1/144 SUMOs from Turn A Gundam. I want to show them off but I can’t upload them, so I’ll have to post a link. If I can unload more in the sure I will. This is only part 1 of my SUMO…[Read more]
Thanks mate.
There were two in the show, but I got two with the intention of repainting one yellow. But then a found a yellow one and bought it. I was going to do something with the extra white one but was too lazy.
You should watch Turn A. It’s very slow to start but once you give it a chance it’s a great series.
Still not working for me
The issue should be fixed! Thank you!
Thanks banana
