So the release for the MG Blue Frame D is getting close and of course the P-Bandai exclusive Dragoon Formation base. For those who have seen the display in person at the various shows, can anyone speculate or confirm if it will work with the Dragoon System for the Strike Freedom? I’m looking for an alternative to the lame clear bendy tubes setup…[Read more]
ok so… i have been researching ways to panel line your model after you paint it. i can not find it broken down in simple terms, i have googled and watched lots of videos, read some articles… maybe im just missing it. im scared to just try it… i have the gundam pour type panel line markers, which work amazingly! but i hear they eat the paint, also…[Read more]
Hello X,
As to wipe off any excess of the Gundam Marker you could use rubbing alcohol, white spirit or benzine, provided you first had a topcoat on the painted pieces before you started panel lining your kit. I tried it out a second ago for you and it worked fine. Just use a damped cotton swap. If it’s drenched it can take more panel lining off…[Read more]
@teetee580 hahaha i tested it out on a painted kit, i used a super fine gundam panel liner marker. grey. and the pour type also grey. it worked… for the most part, but when cleaning it up… i used 91% isopropyl alcohol, and after a few wipes it started to dull my paint. i think this might be because it was a matte clear coat? so i think im goi…[Read more]
@X,
Before panel lining and decal always use a gloss coat. Gloss has no pigment in it which will result in a smooth surface, resulting in better flowing of the ink of the marker and no silvering of the decals because no water can get trapped underneath the decals.
A matte coat has some pigment in it which “floats” on the surface of the coat thus…[Read more]

Hi everyone!Will be working on the Nu ver. Ka soon and wanted to put LEDs for the psychoframe. I saw this kit with very tiny LEDs-can anyone tell me how these were applied in a row? It’s my second trial at LED after my Optimus Prime, so a real noob,lolz, but am a brave noob.
Thanks for the video-am already subscribed to the guy on Youtube. It’s his videos that convinced me to put LEDs in my DMK 01 Optimus Prime.
As for how small, on Ebay howeever small the LEDs the strip on which they are mounted are too wide. That’s why I wanted to know if anyone could shed some light on how I could achieve the result of the pictures…[Read more]
It won’t be till next month as the Nu ver. Ka is in my Private Warehouse right now. In the meantime am putting LEDs in my MG Sinanju, 23 LEDs in all. Having gone through so much trouble in building and painting it, I don’t think I can afford to mess my kits up,lolz!!
I just need to put the 23 LEDs I bought for my MG Sinanju and do the final mod on my Optimus. By the end of this month I’ll be posting some pics of the Nu.
Heya guys ,I need some info – I have the Mr. Metal Aluminium ( the one that u have to buff ) ,once I`m happy with the shine ,can I add a matt top coat without losing the shine, or do I need to use a gloss one before the matt ?
Thanks in advance 🙂
you need to not use the matt at all, matt kills shine that’s pretty much the whole point of it, when you want something to shine you use a gloss coat, think you can even polish that too after and get even more shine, but what you definitely don’t want to do is put anything matt down ontop of your new shiny surface.
