it looks amazing, but too expensive for me after ordering a ton of kits from HLJ (just waiting for the tachikoma re-release, also I would prefer if this were a model kit, I like to build the stuff i’,m going to […]
I think the MG Hi Nu Ver Ka might be my favourite kit yet. Very close with the Sinanju Stein. There’s something about a clean looking white and blue/purple suit.
The first Hi-Nu Ver. Ka. finished on this site, as far as I know. Looks great! Nice build. Love the detail of the red painted O-rings on the arms and knees. IMO to leave them white is too plain. I’m planning to paint them a different color too. But I have to finish the MG Destiny first. Did you use the waterslides for the fin-funnels or spray…[Read more]
Yes, I used the decals for the fin funnels. I used decal softer to help them settle on better. From very close in, you can see they arent perfect, but otherwise look fine.
The decals that go up to the tip of the fin funnel are supposed to wrap around the edge of the tip, but I didnt do that because they’d just peel off right away. So I positioned…[Read more]
The only things I painted were those little O-rings, as mentioned above. Used a red gundam marker, thats about it. Put a few layers of flat coat on top as well.
It’s defiantly one of if not my favorite suits just got mine I haven’t put it together yet ,I wasn’t ready for just how purple it is but it’s growing on me so I think I’ll leave it purple now I have to find the right purple to do the shield I’m thinking of doing it kinda like the old one
I have to say this kit is amazing, it looks wicked and it’s big, but I messed up at the end of the build, I forgot to gloss coat, and as a result de decals have alot of…
thanks, but I’ll redo this one, the silvering its just too much, I think I´ll “experiment a little with this kit, some new weathering teqniques that can be applyed over the flat coat, or maybe even practice some battle damage…
to avoid silvering, I put the decals with some Klir (future ?) and then, pass either setting solution or other coat on it
If I have silvering, i try to make tiny incisions with a new X-acto sword, and fill “the gap” with clear coat to get it in, and the, re-do the clear on the model
Hi everyone, I’m looking at buying top coats for my MG destiny painted build… And I’m looking for both gloss clear and flat clear, tamiya spray paint. I’ve found flat clear, but however I can’t find a tamiya gloss clear I can just find pearl clear… Can anyone tell me if pearl is the same as gloss or different and where I can find gloss would…[Read more]
Pearl and gloss are completely different finishes. Gloss will leave it shiny, while pearl will have a glittery effect. It is up to you if that is the finish you are looking for. As far as where to locate it, best bet would be online and see if they can ship to your area.
