Hi all, I’m new to hobbylink tv but not on the gunpla hobby ๐
Just wanted to post question i’m trying to find solution for few months now, let me explain.
I build few MG/PG/RG models so far but my last 2 kits are MG with water slide decals. The Sazabi and the Hi Nu which is in progress. I completed the sazabi and applied all the decals but what…[Read more]
If you’re not worried about painting and everything, and just want them to stay, you can either use some decal set, or spray the parts with a clear coat after applying decals. Decal set will have instructions on how to use it. Clear coat will let change the look of the kit depending on the type you use(flat or gloss).
Also put the decals in warm water. This will make the sort of glue that is on them more active. And like Slater4u said, use Decal Set. Just put a few drops in the water before placing the decals in. After they have dried for at least an hour, put some Decal Soft on top and let this also dry for at least one hour. After that you can apply the Decal…[Read more]
Bought decal soft from microset. Not sure if the brand is good, smells a little like vinegarโฆ
Anyway, followed all your advices and those @##ยฉ$@! decals are still peeling. (stay on my finger when i manipulate the gundam to pose it.

Im thinking to buy top coat but im affraid they will still fall

I went through my old collection and thought I would do a reshoot of one of my older kits.
This is the 1:100 HG wind Zero. It was great for its day. Even though the engineering doesn’t match up to today’s standards. Still I like it and this was completely hand painted
I completed my first Master Grade Gundam kit, the Freedom Gundam. I enjoyed building it. But, I’m not happy with the final model. It just doesn’t have enough detail. When I…
The age of a kit does make a difference. 10 years ago, that kit would have looked great compared to it’s HG version. I think there is a new version of it, though I wouldn’t quote me on that as I dislike anything SEED related, as they release WAY to many SEED kits.
A good example of the age of a kit effecting the overall detail, is to look at the…[Read more]
That’s awesome to see someone else’s same kit! I just finished building a freedom as well but never posted any pictures. Honestly I thought the age of the kit would be a problem, but I had a lot of fun with it and thought it was really well done for its age
The freedom is my all time fav MS. I do agree with you about the details are lacking. But when it came out it would have been great. I got a 1/60 NG ver, that has very similar level of detail. But in the size I prefer plus a bit of paint helps. But they do lack in comparison to the RG line. But I fined the best version of the Freedom is the metal…[Read more]
