I quite like it, it reminds me a lot of the Ground Gundam/EZ8. I probably won’t be picking it up at this point though, as I’ve already got the RX-78 2 3.0.
Well, each RX-78 2 has it’s own style so when you look at 2.0 being anime style and 3.0 being new engineering in realistic design and proportions then that’s okay. Katoki has his own special design and I kinda think of this Origin one as a 2.0 to that one.
Even though I love the RX78-2, I think it’s normal that people get tired seeing so many reiterations getting released. But at the same time it was to be expected because of the release of the Gundam Origin show.
The unpainted prototype could be either the RX78-02 or the RX78-01 Test Type that used this equipment setup when it intercepted the platoon of Zakus that infiltrated Side 7 in chapter One (page 45), wiping out the platoon in chapter Two by shooting one at close range (page 49) which rips a hole open in Side & flushed it out into space so that…[Read more]
First half of my Gunpla sale shipment arrived from the post this morning. Also includes the BB Neo Zeong! Many thanks to HLJ for the freebies, too! 🙂 I was lucky enough to get all 6 different campaign weapons in one go! Can’t wait for the second half to arrive soon.
hi, i am working on a M4 Sherman diorama and i am at the weathering stage on the tank. this is the first time i am weathering a model and i want to use some black oil paint to do the wash. i have seen it thinned with mineral spirits. can i use lacquer thinner instead (i have clean strip)? and how will this affect the paint job? i have a coat of…[Read more]
Whatever you do, don’t use a lacquer thinner for the job! It will eat trough the future clear and effect your paint job. You could also use a turpentine to thin the oil paint.
You could also thin down an enamel paint with lighter fluid, enamel thinner, white spirit or benzine and clean up with the same agents. I find enamels best for doing a wash.…[Read more]
Hello, i’ve been wanting to try panel separation but I’m not sure how to go about doing it. I think I have an idea but can’t seem to find a tutorial on it.
By panel separation I mean modding one armor piece into 2 to show frame details
I’m thankful for any help or suggestions thank you
Separating the panels can be done in two ways. One is with a hobby/photo edged saw and carefully cut the piece following the panel line. The other way is using a panel line scribing tool. I recommend the one from Tamiya. Just keep scribing in the panel line until the parts are separated.
The hard thing to do is to keep the panel lines open. You…[Read more]
Just got my shipment, very excited to start my first kitbash/custom gunpla! using the Gaeon as the base/main focus but adding parts from the Jahannam and the extra weapons….
My shipment is finally here!! Finally got all missing RG’s with the exception of the P-Bandai. I had forgotten there was a HG campaign parts going on so i got some free goodies with my box 🙂 And lastly I can add the last 4 GAT Gundams with my Strike! I love HLJ <3
I was just as surprised once i saw it on my front porch! And the shipping cost me $105.00! The things we do or I should say pay for the hobby we enjoy. 🙂
