hai its been a super long time but since ive been on break but im back so i recently bought the gundam barbatos at barnes and nobles (noted theres a 15% coupon plus membership so i it was 24$) but anyways i wanted to make the mace for him but idk the dimensions so i was hoping if there was anyone that would no the dimensions of the 1/144…[Read more]
Can’t believe no one has a 1/144 scale Barbatos here on this site……. Wait! The answer doesn’t obtain one a free Gunpla!!!
Anyways, looked it up for you, as I recalled Henry A.K.A. vegeta8259 made his own mace and shows a picture of the dimensions:
Hope this helps you out. Good luck and happy building!
There is speculation that the 1/100 Gundam Barbatos 6th form will include parts for the 5th from Barabatos as well as the mace which features and extending lance gimmick (and doesn’t have the point rounded off like the 1/144 version), but HLJ do not appear to have any official photos to confirm this.
I know right its SOOO GOOD…though I haven’t actually gotten the set from the mail yet. though I really love the design of this suit and I wish you the best of luck on this set! 😀
Your Zeong looked really great. You’ve also used a nice background. And it ain’t no shame, going up against Henry and StryderPrime, and not taking the gold back home. At least you stood there, tall and proud!!!
I think if i put my heart into this and not do nething but this i can get it done before saturday more is already painted but i just wanted to see something done
i finished modding my zeong and i started to paint it however when i did after the paint dried i could see the surface of the plastic to be all scratchy from sanding it down and such is there a way to get rid of that look like prime it or something??
What you can do is prime to see where it’s rough. If you use a grey primer then it’s easy to see changes in the surface and so, easy to try and fix. This is the best way I’ve found to smooth out plastic.
What Nick said is true, but you’ll be looking for a primer with “micro filler” added to it. Of course you need to sand it after priming it. For a flat paint, a 800 grid sandpaper will do, for gloss and metallics, a 1000 or 1200 grid sandpaper is needed. And you need to get a primer that is compatible with the paint you are using, provided you want…[Read more]
so i have to prime it with tamiyas since im using tamiya paints but after that i still have to resand it but wouldnt that create a more scratchy rough surface though??
If you are using the Tamiya acrylics, you can’t prime your parts with Tamiya Primer spray cans, nor the Tamiya Surface Primer which comes in a bottle. Both are lacquers and will ruin your messed up paint job even more!
There are two options for you, one being that you use some more paint to thicken the surface and then sand it smooth, the other is…[Read more]
Right now i already stripped off the original paint for the tamiya primer so all i have to do is prime it up then check for scratched surfaces then sand it n then re prime n then paint?
Some more in progress got the hands in started sealing some awful gaps. Tmr im gunna get that new back pack for this guy n then more sealing gaps and then painting
Schools started but comic con is only a few weeks till today so i have to get this done. Even though im the modeler i would like some opinion on how this is looking so far like maybe crticism or even ideas but im continuing on this massive project till the day its comic con
The kits coming together quite nicely, maybe scribe a few panel lines for added detail?
Also you may want to round a few of the edges to make them suit the rest of the model.
Thanks 🙂 theres still more work to be done on the chest and i will be doing scribing once all the clean up and scratching is done but i wasnt too sure if the legs should still be the same roundness since i was thinking about maybe making it blockier
Glad I could be of some help. Turned out really nice!!!
i wanted to try some sort of high finish like that high resolution release coming since that model is way too pricey lol
