nice show as always guys..but its saddened me that you didnt give enough love to the ingram. Mine already in the private warehouse but cant ship it out untill my nightingale arrive. Cant really wait for all my kits to arrive.
So anyone have any experience with water slide decals on clear kits? Thinking about ordering em for my Zeta and Strike Freedom RGs but not sure how they will look on the clear plastic.
so i did a little experiment and i think the water slides are going to work out great, my only concern is the fact i can’t seal the water slides on so the possibility of them flaking off is real. Hopefully my use of vinegar for the application of the water slide can aid in keeping them on the kit. There is very little hazing from clear parts of…[Read more]
Working on finishing up the waist section on my Sazabi. I should have the parts ready tonight so i can make a demonstration video of my water slide application method. There were a good amount of areas on the armor that i decided to paint the same grey as the frame.
Newest addition to my RG collection and one of the best anniversary gifts ever. I really want to crack this one open and start it now, but i HAVE to finish the Sazabi first. This makes 4 out of 6 gentei RGs so i might need a new shelf soon.
Well all of my regular retail kits, decals, action bases and supplies i order through HLJ since they have great prices; top notch customer service; and a great selection. I live on the east coast of the united states so shipping can be a bit much but its worth it. All my gentei kits come from a fairly well known online site, that i wont name here…[Read more]
Just a quick update on the Sazabi Ver Ka. Most of the frame of the lower torso is assembled and painted, just need some touch up once i add the armor parts. The armor for this…
i think the tail section could use some additional colors. It just begs for some gold (or neon red since you are doing custom color) on those things near the thrusters
@aueangkoon no reason for the color specifically. Im just not a huge fan of the color red and wanted to do something wild with the colors. My girlfriend helped me decide on the green and purple
RG Destiny Heine color is finished. Water slides came out better than the RX-78-2 and same with the matte top coat. only one coat of matte was used so as to not hide the…
Love the matte finish, really matches the militaristic feel that the decals give.
Are the waterslide metallic decals easier to damage than the peel off ones?
Hi syd and Ryan. Nice show as always..I’m having a great time since I watch gunpla tv. Had been ordering few kits from hlj and my question is could you show some of the railway kits. I’ve been browsing into hlj […]
My advice to anyone who is going to use water slides on the Destiny: Bring plenty of patience and decal softener. I have been finding great luck with white vinegar. There are TONS of panel lines and hard edges that the decals sit right over, on just the wings alone. Hopefully i’ll have these decals done today
i just got my water slides in the mail last week. ive been putting it off for a while now hahaah i put the stickers on and it wasnt exactly fun, the wings… oh the wings… they drove me crazy! i ended up cutting the stickers, laying each piece on the plastic… rather than lay it across the gaps. it came out looking really nice. problem was i…[Read more]
RG Destiny update. The suit and backpack just got the first light gloss layer so i can start up on the water slides. Weapons still need a little bit of panel line and chrome…
wow loves the detail..could you compare the scale/size of this kit..really tempted to get all finemolds star wars kit and filled them up in my private warehouse
I was supposed to pain the vulcans right? WIP of the RG Destiny and i should be done with this one by the middle of this week, then its back to the Sazabi. Hopefully i’ll get the water slides tomorrow.
More work on the RG Destiny. Lots of detailing with chrome paint and panel lining. Starting to get into the fun parts now. If anyone is curious, yes the posts from the skirt…
