Hi, my name is Wil. I’ve seen a lot of the pictures here of custom Gunpla. I was hoping somebody could help direct me to someone who takes commissions, I love gundam but I suck at kit modeling and kitbashing is beyond my league. I respect the amount of time that goes into these builds. I was hoping someone would know anybody who takes commissions,…[Read more]
I would be more than happy to do commission work. What kind of kit were you thinking? Do you know what grade of kit you are thinking of? Lemme know what you are looking for and ill let you know if i can do it. I live on the east coast of the US so shipping won’t be a huge price tag. Take a look at my work and lemme know if you are still interested.
What are you looking for in a custom job? Being more descriptive on what you want will better help to find someone that can do the work.
Are you looking for someone to just build the kit, paint it standard colors, decals, etc?
Are you looking for someone to build the kit and do a custom color paint job?
Are you looking for someone to do a…[Read more]
not really. it would be very difficult to tell the difference, assuming the application was the same. I use flat on top of gloss all the time and the results look fine to me
yeah don’t think it’s noticeable at all and infact if you’re going for a flat finish it’s the recommended way….well technically. Normally you’d put down a gloss, then do the stickers and decals and such then flat, so that would be flat over gloss.
Hi everyone, I’m looking at buying top coats for my MG destiny painted build… And I’m looking for both gloss clear and flat clear, tamiya spray paint. I’ve found flat clear, but however I can’t find a tamiya gloss clear I can just find pearl clear… Can anyone tell me if pearl is the same as gloss or different and where I can find gloss would…[Read more]
Pearl and gloss are completely different finishes. Gloss will leave it shiny, while pearl will have a glittery effect. It is up to you if that is the finish you are looking for. As far as where to locate it, best bet would be online and see if they can ship to your area.
I’m new to Gunpla. Syd and Ryan are responsible for introducing me to the hobby, so I thought this would be a good place to ask my question about water slide decals.
I just picked up the Epyon Endless Waltz Gundam, and it came with dry transfers and water slide decals.
While building the kit, I attach the decals, as to make it easier for…[Read more]
i have heard of people using microsol but i recomend using tamiya marker softener tamiya is mainly one of the best companys for models plus for ur decals the process is this even if ur not painting just skip the process
build
prime
paint
glosscoat with mr color, tamiya, gloss coat whichever u preferr
panel line
decal
softener on decal
then flat coat it
Hmmm. Okay your problem is that the MG Epyon doesn’t have water decals. It has decals, foils and dry transfers. Dry transfers, you just cut out the one you want, tape it onto where you want it, and rub and then remove when you have everything rubbed. Like using carbon paper. That blue sheet is to protect the decal from coming off the plastic when…[Read more]
the Epyon kit should not have waterslides included, as Bandai just started putting waterslides in MG kits last year, and only a handful of kits have them right now. Water slides will not have a clear plastic like sheet that they’re attached to, they will be one cohesive decal on a paper backing.
Dry transfers can look good, but they’re not the…[Read more]
One more thing, I need to know how to make buildings for a diorama, im using a 1/144 and the psyco gundam, I want to make it so the psyco is reaching over a building trying to grab the 1/144, I’ve tried looking on YouTube but I’m not finding anything
basically get a board wooden is preferred for me then take some plastruct which is the plastic wielding stuff if u dont know wht it is and make a rectangular prism add details paint it up and thus thats ur building then if u want the the ground to look nice spray it over with the base color add some plastics if u want stuff like broken boxes etc…[Read more]
Hello everyone, I have a few questions, first I would like to get into doing reviews, can someone point me in the direction of a mid level to high level camera that’s not too crazy in price. Second how to set up a booth to do the recordings, like should I have anything on in the room or turn them off so I don’t get a feed back sound. And finaly I…[Read more]
oh then i cant help u u can try buying stuff from online like amazon or buy an airbrush and get the stuff from gundam planet gundam planet and hlj are good sites if ur buying lots of stuff cuz shipping is good with them its pretty cheap
I get all my kits from hlj. But paints are just hard to find local ya know? Gundam planet sells paints? Airbrush is again above my skill lol I can build kits no problem it’s the making them look good that I’m still new at lol. I can panel wash and line, put on stickers, but ruin water and dry decals lol
here are two of my finished kits one is my first ever kit which as i think about it shouldn’t have been a sazabi ver ka lol but it did teach me alot. the second it the sd…
That’s very ambitious to start with the Sazabi ver Ka as your first kit. I would have never even dared to try it as my first gundam kit. I commend you on that sir.
