Q/A & Help Group 7 years, 9 months agoHi all I am really hoping that someone in this group can either provide me with or provide me with a website where I can get the parts I’m missing for my MG Double X. I’m missing A 18, 19, & 20. I don’t care if I have to pay for the parts or shipping I just need those parts to build my kit.

Q/A & Help Group 7 years, 9 months agoMaybe someone will know. The question is about the dreadfull P-Bandai.
The items on their store only have a month release date. So the question is -> Does P-Bandai has a specific day they do the release for that month or just its “any day is fine as long as its during that month”?-
I’m afraid that every pre-order on http://bandai-hobby.net/site/onlineshop.html seems to have a specific order cut-off date but then just the vague month of release.
There may be more information if you order directly from there or get on their mailing list but I can’t say for sure 🙁 .-
So basically just wait 🙁

Q/A & Help Group 7 years, 10 months agoOkay i have a bit of an issue here, i was test running the panel line accent marker on the panel lines of my kit, but thing is, every time i use the mr hobby thinner to rub off the excess ink, it keeps erasing off the panel lines. Am i using the wrong thinner or something?
-
As long as it isn’t melting your plastic (lacquer thinner) you should be fine regarding the thinning agent.
To be honest I need some more information.-What color has the label of the Mr. Hobby thinning agent. Don’t you know what you bought????
-How do you remove the excess? A q-tip/cotton bud, cotton ball, tissue, moist paintbrush?
My guess is…[Read more]
-
Oh, sorry about that. the thinner i used is the mr colour leveling thinner, and i used cotton bud
-
No worries 😉
This is the bottle with the yellow label and the blue writing, right?
If so, this is the cellulose based thinning agent, in other words, the lacquer based thinner.
This is the wrong thinning agent. If not careful, it might melt the plastic if not careful. You where lucky so far….
Try to get a hold on the light blue/turquoise…[Read more]

Q/A & Help Group 7 years, 10 months agoSo, I have a lot of leftover frame(the thing that holds parts to build gundam) after finishing my gundam.What should I do with them?
-
take it kitbash with other gundams to be creative thats wht i do
-
He means the empty runners and what to do with them…….
There was someone here that posted a picture of him building a stand out of the runners, this was a long time ago, can’t remember who or what.
Or do what I do, throw them in the old recycling bin, or is that a dumb answer to a ………. (insert your opinion on the dotted line) question 😛-
thank you for your advice 🙂

You can also try to use the runners cut at certain area and glued together with pla plates to create like those destroyed colony debris for dioramas

Q/A & Help Group 7 years, 10 months agoOk, I think I’m in big trouble. Big being the word here. I ordered and got the Neo Zeong off A_Japan on Amazon (not hlj). Should have waited for a restock maybe but it always appears backordered and it takes months for stuff to arrive in Bangladesh… etc. etc.
So… Came with an old and worn out manual as if it was used a million times, plus a…[Read more]

if i remember correctly try heating a bit with hair dryier. But check it first on some other dmged part (for example part of the tree runner)
-
Thx for the advice! I’ve repaired stuff using the hair dryer before, but it seems to only work on softer parts. Neo Zeong plastic is too hard methinks. 🙁
-
-
can u just return the package on amazon im sure theyll let u
-
Like, I said, a return is possible, but not feasible. I live in Bangladesh. 🙁
-
if its that bad i feel like returning it is a better option u spent so much money to get it torn up especially since neo zeong costs ten arms and legs to get
-
Almost USD100 in taxes every time it comes in, not to mention shipping. Like I said, not feasible. Nothing is broken or missing; no guarantee the next box will have everything. I am looking for ways to reduce/remove/recover stressed plastic, short of painting.

Well this might seem abundant, but next time place an order for the tings on backorder regardless. This is also stated on the FAQ on their site…..
With those big pieces they might only order the amount of kits that they got an order from by costumers. In any case, if you place an order for a kit that is in backorder, you won’t have to pay…[Read more]-
Yay, you’re here! (^__^)/
I always wanted to paint the Neo Zeong. Been practicing and brushing up my painting skills as much as possible for the attempt too for months. However, a few days back I saw a contest post on youtube with a Gundam marker set as a prize; there was a disclaimer saying that Gundam markers may damage ABS plastic! That got…[Read more]
-
If the parts are primed, thinning agents won’t effect the plastic. Except for cellulose thinner. That stuff eats trough everything!
Gundam Markers contain Isopropyl Alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol). The same as used for the solvent in Mr Hobby Aqueous and Tamiya Acrylic paints.
PE and ABS won’t be effected when exposed to alcohol for a short amount of…[Read more]-
Hmmm, good to know, thx! 🙂
Are primers/undercoats universal or do you need different types for different paints? I know I won’t get a lot of options here, so might just end up finding undercoats for furniture or something… Will that do? Q__Q

I bougt a Hi Nu from them long ago (Astyle J) and the box was in bad shape, also the manual had the first page torn.
Products from hlj are always pristine.
You can retouch some parts with gundam real markers. You can paint ABS (not everything is ABS, is labeled on the spru), use a light coat of tamiya primer (spry can) and any acrylic paint on…[Read more]

hlj… y u always backordered… Q__Q
Will look for what primers are available here. Are there different types for different paints?
-
Tamiya primer spray is lacquer-based, you can apply enamels or acrylics over it (acrylics are easy to use and easy to clean). It dries super fast so it won’t damage the plastic. I have used Krylon primer (spray can) but the coat is thicker and the color is darker (also is plastic friendly). Use white primer for white and grey for other colors.…[Read more]
-
Ty! (^__^)b
I’ll see what is available in the local stores then. Very limited selection, so I may end up only finding furniture primers/undercoats; will those do as well? 🙁
-
Those may not do. Furniture is mostly wood, leather, steel and/or fabric.
There are acrylic, enamel and lacquer based primers. From all those, acrylic is the most weak. Some of these might also bring some trouble in application.
Lacquer based is the strongest.
You can always put a weak paint on top of a stronger type of paint. There are exceptions…[Read more] -
@teetee580 , thank you! Very informative, and yeah I’m on brushes. Unless there is some kind of manual action airbrushing kit, relying on airbrush is hard here as we have a lot of power outages for lengthy periods of time. 🙁
I am watching some tutorials and thanks for the recommendations! 😀
-
-
-
-
-
Sure, anytime 😉
Myself (no trouble with power outages though) use an automotive compressor. It has a huge tank (in comparison with airbrush/hobby compressors), which once full lets me paint for 1 to 2 hours, depending on the pressure I’m working with. Maybe an idea, most have an air pressure regulator and even a water trap build in.
Anyway,…[Read more]

Your best bet would be contacting the service department of HLJ. Just drop them an email and you’ll be helped before you know it!
Regarding the backorder part, it all depends on Bandai, how long it takes them to make another batch. Sometimes HLJ might get some new stock from a distributor, but most of the time they have already spread their stock…[Read more]

Q/A & Help Group 8 years agoHello again, and it’s me with another question~! (^___^)/
Does anyone know which companies selling all those conversion kits and extra add-ons to existing BANDAI kits are actually licensed by BANDAI? I even see some outrageous huge and/or detailed kits that I think are straight up new builds, but I can’t seem to find any BANDAI endorsement for…[Read more]
-
They nearly always aren’t officially licensed. With that said, official Bandai ones will be from the company “B-Club”, who do resin conversion kits for older models.
Seeing as these were all in limited print I can’t imagine finding one is easy let alone cheap, so the closest thing you can probably get would be a 3rd party recast of a B-Club.-
Yeah, I know about B-Club but I was really hoping at least G-System would be licensed; they follow a similar-ish naming convention after all! 😛
I know Bandai went after TT Hongli for making copies of existing Bandai kits (which they are somehow still making… no idea how…), but does the fact they are not doing anything to G-System mean…[Read more]
-
I think it’s that Bandai doesn’t really mind add on sets. They don’t sell a copy of Bandais work, rather they get people to buy from Bandai more.
Companies like TT Hongli just steal the models from Bandai and print them for cheaper so there’s definitely a reason for Bandai to stop them.-
Hmmm, then I guess that’s why Bandai also ignores the unconventional size releases like 1/72, 1/35, etc. If they feel there is nothing wrong with them then it’s fine, I guess, though I wish they would just come out and say so. 😛

Q/A & Help Group 8 years agoCan anyone tell me what scale the Bandai Tamashii Kshatriya is? I wanted the kit in 1/144th and that seems to be the most complete with all the working gimmicks and effect parts, unlike the HGUC version. Hoping it is 1/144th! 😀
-
The “Robot Damashii (Side MS) Kshatriya” is 1/144? Sure? The links you gave me are for the HGUC normal and repaired versions. I was wondering about this one: http://hlj.com/product/BAN984442/Gun
🙂
-
Yeah, noticed that too, but I hesitated to take that for granted as I see a lot of places measure height after mounting a model on an action stand if the model in question comes with one, and the ‘Robot Damashii (Side MS) Kshatriya’ does come with a stand. Q__Q
-
@domokun329 , cool thx for all the help. 🙂
Mostly I want a more advanced Kshatriya because the shield/binders don’t split down in the standard HGUC kit like they do on the Repaired and the Bandai Tamashii ones. There is an option from B-Club… but it’s B-club so… Q______Q
-
Nice! Ty! 😀
I tried to compare sizes when Syd had the kits in his hand, and they seem close enough. Probably some difference in scale, but hey, we see that even in some renewed/redesigned releases (e.g. gerbera tetra) so should be just fine. 🙂
Thank you!! m(_ _)m
