there’s probably a guide around but the basics are trimming the posts before assembly as was already mentioned. What the means is simply a 45 degree cut on the peg to make it easier to pull back apart. the other thing is that prying apart, and anything that can slip between the cracks and is sturdy enough will do, so yeah knife blades, though…[Read more]
i also recomend if u were to plan ahead and decided to paint the kit as u were building it dont assemble the stuff that is impossible to come out when ur trying to unassemble the gundam done that a few times not a pretty sight at all
yea i usually paint them up with some clear red if its pink to make it looks more darker and intimidating but ive tried turning a pink saber into a blue one with some metallic blue paint itll look nice too so whtever u want for a color change from red to whtedver color i suggest using metallics but if u wanna make it darker just use some clear red
If you really want a color change, it’s better to cast them in a different color yourself. You can get a resin casting set for rather cheap, as well as any other supplies you need. You can use that to make clear parts in pretty much any color you want. You can always paint them if you prefer, however painting them even with clear paint doesn’t…[Read more]
Hi everyone just wanted to know if anyone can translate the color guide for the HGUC Hyakushiki & Mega Bazooka Launcher I tried looking for but couldn’t find it
I think it’s different for everyone. mostly I think it’s just going about your everyday life when you see something and get to thinking, “hey what if?” and from that “what if” you go about your idea. it’s not really something that’s simple to explain cause it really could be anything. if you like a color maybe you just want to work it in then…[Read more]
personally i just throw some paint on a kit and hope it dosen’t look like crap. My Sazabi Ver Ka is the prime example. Im working on a custom color nu-gundam right now and im thinking about a color scheme for my hi-nu with the HWS. I’m thinking about replacing the purple with a burnt orange but im still in the planning process on that one.
Generally I’ll refrain from a full paint job on my Master grades, as the white plastic generally looks better then any white paint, lol. I will paint certain parts to fill in the areas that are the wrong color.
Other then that, custom paint jobs are related to whatever theme I’m going with. So generally, my kits will see mostly military style…[Read more]
for me i just think about the gundam and then look up online at some cool kits and then get an idea out of it usually i keep it in my mind and imagine it if it would look nice
research, for me I look some similar kits with customs paints online then if I’m not satisfied or something pop-up on my mind i will try the color scheme by providing a linework of the kit then photoshop to try the formulated color scheme. If the color scheme is bad on the photoshop, I will not continue the scheme then try another one.
Those are the RG Instruction manuals, not posters. They still look amazing posing as posters though. and Char’s Zaku II was my first ever RG 5 years ago, and i was terrible at building. He has been broken for a while now, but i have since bought a new one and plan on building it soon.
Nice job!!! Any ideas what next kit will get a paint job? Keep up the great work!
Thanks, thinking of doing HG Nu Gundam…next…hopefully it’ll look as nice…:)
