So I got a bunch of plastic for the holiday and i got a few (less than half) of the weapons on the clear unicorn. I think its time to start on the pink and green nu with some…
The FA Unicorn is looking great, have you thought about getting the PG Unicorn? Also, that’s a really cool colour scheme for a Nu, it’ll look really nice with your Sazabi.
Hey guys..last year we saw an unpainted model of MG 1/100 Gundam AGE-FX..but to this date we still haven’t see it coming out..among all Age kits I like that the most(as I m not very fond on the anime tho).
I think there was an AGE-3 Normal on display as well but I doubt they’ll see the light of day for a long time. The other MG AGE kits all sold pretty poorly to my memory.
not that unusual they also had a nightingale prototype thats been sitting there for eons so my guess is theyre prob gunna put it up as an re release maybe
My GBWC 2014 entry..very rush build..took me 20 hours throughout all process as this time of years works had surpassed me. But gladly I got into my first GBWC entry. Sadly my…
Some experimenting with sharpie and chrome paint got me the effect that i was looking for. This is turning out do be an interesting build with lots of super tiny parts.
The weather and timing finally worked out and i was able to snap some shots of the finished Sazabi. I wish i could have had this guy finished for the GBWC but gunpla ADD got…
My first attempt on doing a ship kit..Japanese Naval Heavy Cruiser Myoko 1/700 scale by Fujimi..pick this up at half price at hlj..so far loving the detail but the real challenge is removing nubs from very very small parts
Bad lighting and poor camera quality are the main cause. Better resolution pics on my FB page. I hear what you are saying about the decals blending into the background on clear kits, but i really enjoy the effect it gives.
ok folks i got a wacky idea that bounced into my head and ive been giving it some serious thought. I want to take the RG Zaku and bash it with the HG Gouf custom, http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN965503/Gun I don’t know if i would call it a bash per se. im just looking to make a highly detailed RG quality Gouf so i will be trying to mod the HG armor…[Read more]
Its a interesting project. You could call it a sneak peak into the RG that is yet to come. Legs should be a fairy simple job. From the looks you could leave the RG feet. Hands should be a little more tricky. The way the Gouf are made it hard for me to figure out how to make sliding armor effect.
I wish you luck with the project. Just remember…[Read more]
You may end up having to sacrifice sone of the sliding panels but it should be doable for the most part, especially if you’re planning to keep the same arms used on the HG.
good luck with the project. keep in mind that the torso of the zaku & the gouf custom is different. might have a hard time connecting the leg of the other to the hips & torso of the other since the RG has its own inner frame. keep us posted with your project. 🙂
Hey fellow builders, question time again.
So i might have painted myself into a corner with this one. Im working on the FA Unicorn Ver Ka and since it is a clear kit im looking to do water slides. I think my RG Strike Freedom came out fairly well and i really like the contrast of water slides on clear plastic. The issue is that Bandai (to the best…[Read more]
i no samuel decals do a pretty good jobs replicating water slides for u u an try them or you can buy two sets of unicorn gundam ver ka decals water slides and prob combine it with decals from sinanju to get the fuel tank decals
Well im done with the unicorn for a little bit. im trying to decide on what to do with the V fin and ive been doing a little experimenting with sharpie but i still havent…
very nice. the clear parts seam to have a glittery effect in them. is it really like that or it only seems that way on your photos? good job on managing nubs, cant find a single nubmark on anyone of your photos. 🙂
Thanks for the kind words. There really is glitter embedded in the clear (white) runners in this kit. The nub marks on those i cleaned up with tooth paste and a cotton swab. The inner frame and the blue (feet) are done in a gloss injection style plastic so those gate marks are impossible to remove. The placement of some of the decals will hide…[Read more]
Go with waterslides. Just checked your vinegar method on waterslides from samuel (crest for X1) it worked great (used about 40-50% diluted vinegar).
Just keep in mind that most of 3rd party waterslides arent precut so you need to trim them a bit before you apply them.
