If I were to get a Tallgeese, which one should I get???? Also what other MG should I do? I am currently waiting on my Blue Frame Second revise Astray to come in, and I just put together my first mg, the OVA color Sinanju. what should I order next? I am torn between the Sazabi ver. ka, and the Nu ver ka.
The easiest one to get which will also be the easiest on your wallet is Tallgeese 1, i’ve built that one and it’s quite fun, I just had to paint it because that white/light grey color combo sucks. I’d go with the Nu and save the sazabi for later
Nu has some teensy funnel issues but has the psychoframe gimmick which I like. Hi-Nu looks better in my opinion but there are waterslides for the two tone funnels which seem to fit better so I’d say……flip a coin because either is going to be a great build.
Well after cutting it from the runner, use your cutters to clip off the excess gate. From there you can use a file. always file in one direction, never back and forth, and try to keep the file straight and flat. A few passes should be enough to get the gate down and even with the rest of the part without scraping the rest of the part. from there…[Read more]
As for cleaning the nubs, Slater4u covered this excellent. He tells it how it is. I only suggest finishing sanding with a 1000 grid and use a 800 grid before that and after the 600 grid, since you’re not planning on painting and use Gundam Markers to get rid of the discoloration. A 600 grid still leaves scratch marks.
Also get the 800 and 1000 in…[Read more]
I recommend you do. Anything less then 800 will leave visible scratches, even when painting on the the area’s with Gundam markers. As the paint in the markers is really thin, they won’t fill up scratches. For a really good result I suggest even using a 1000 grid to get it really smooth.
And I forgot to mention in my last reply, for decals, water…[Read more]
I finally figured out where the lower cockpit hatch was supposed to connect to. Just a few pics to make U laugh or at least giggle :”D
Happy New Year guys
Last build of the year. Awesome kit. You can build 3 different Gundams out of it, each with its own “personality”. Definitely wins my most accessories award! The question is not whether you should buy it or not, but how many you should buy.
Nice. A little tip about the rifle’s long barrel. Just cut off the end and you can slide it in like the short one without disassembling the gun. It is still tight enough not to slide out. Have fun. 🙂
About the upcoming MG Exia Dark Matter, do you think they’ve fixed the ankles on it? Pics shows that it’s the same ankle as the regular Exia. I might be wrong though but one can always hope.:) And also the P-Bandai exclusive MG Grey Zeta would that be based of xeta 2.0?
finally my unicorn has been released from its 2 weeks in uk customs. (an additional £51 in fees to pay for those that are interested) Really glad i went for it now as i had my doubts especially with the LEDS . i hope everyone else got some awsome gunpla for christmas/ holidays.
Primer is primaly use as a base so that paint sticks better. Other method is thoroughly was your runner using soap. Other than that is that when you prime all the imperfectness of the surface can be clearly seen and easily sand to get the perfect surface and end result.
for a metallic paint you want to lay down a gloss black before the actual metallic color you want, whether or not you use a primer before this I suppose could be considered optional but I’d do it. When working with gloss paints you can’t really do touch up work, it shows too much, and if you’re doing metallic you’re probably not going to want to…[Read more]
OK I checked out the price in the link you gave me and I have to say it is actually cheaper to getting it there than it would for me to buy it from Amazon since they’re asking a min. $1.99 +$3.65 s&h and a max at $15.63+$13.99 s&h. So what would I really have to pay for the lining pen?
I don’t know if u live in the US but if u do go to a Michaels (craft store) and look for MICRON brand fine line pens and get the 005 black pens. I can guarantee u that’s the best panel line marker u will ever get. Make sure is micron 005 hmmk? Sadly there’s never a gray marker (to panel line white parts) maybe they don’t even make gray. And if u…[Read more]
One of the simplest recommendations that even the manual gives is to get a gundam marker and fill in the panel lines. It really changes a model. Black is always a good choice, grey might be better on white suits, up to personal preference.
As well as that, it’d be nice if you can get your hands on some matt/flat varnish (top coat) to apply a…[Read more]
At last I completed the MG Nu ver. Ka. Am really happy with how it looks when lit up. It was really challenging to put LEDs in it and I think it looks cooler than the PG…
It looks great!!! You did an awesome job on the LED’s. Not my cup of tea, but nevertheless impressive!
I have to concur with you on the Nu being a great kit. It was my first MG last spring, as I was painting the frame up and building it, I wasn’t impressed as my first Gunpla was a PG. As I began putting the frame on, I began falling in love with…[Read more]
Thanks!After having put all these LEDs am sure I can make the PG Unicorn look more awesome with more LEDs. For the 2nd Nu ver Ka, I’ll use Phosphorescent paint for the psychoframe.
But before starting with the PG, I have 3 kits to deal with-my 1st SD kit, SD Phenex,and my 1st RG kits-RG Rx-78 and the RG Aile Strike.
I wish you a happy New Year…[Read more]
The funnels on the back appear brighter as the plastic on the BTF kit are kind of translucent unlike the Bandai plastic which is opaque. These guys lie when they say it’s the same quality as Bandai.
Now let’s see what I am able to do with the PG Unicorn..
