A bit more of my in progress. finished up a good bit of black for the two color parts. Also some touch up on chrome, just have the last few black paintings. Then final assembly, and this time I won’t miss a joint like I have already done with one leg. So off to dreamland, and rested eyes to make my last push to the end. Good luck with the […] View

Well there is the standard panel lining colours of grey on white plastic, brown on reds and pinks and black on every thing else.
I like brown on reds and pinks as it adds to the detail of the kit without looking out of place like black sometimes does.
The RG char’s Zaku ii only really has a few parts that fall off on mine, the front skirts and the tiny little grey wrist panel.
Unfortunately I haven’t built the RG Justice yet (mainly because I want a MG one with my other SEED suits) but I may give in soon and build it and the freedom :P.
Oh and yes I am very happy with all of my RG kits (rx-78 2, mk -ii and char’s zaku ii).
The only one I’m a bit iffy on is my rx-78 2 as it is a little bit flimsy.
Good idea, I’m looking forward to the result.
It may pay to have some sand paper handy to flatten out the ‘F’ and ’91’ scribes on the shoulder Armor, but that may be a decision you make once you get started.
Completed my first HG gunpla model, the build strike full package. It was a fun kit to build. My only complaint is some of the parts are really small. I just didn’t think 1/144 scale would be so tiny. Assembling the head was probably the hardest part of the build for me. Especially that one sticker that goes to the back of the head. That…[Read more]
So far pretty good, used the nippers and then hobby knife. Got better at it. Using the knife is getting easier but it’s still difficult. As you can see at the back are some spots. I don’t know what to do. Help please !!!
You can always use a gundam marker or real touch marker to hide the discolouration, other than that there isn’t too much you can do if your using a hobby knife.
In my experience though it’s only really visible discolouration on blue and dark red plastc.
If you are not painting then markers are one of the best ways to go. I find that when cutting the parts free from the tree cut as far away from the part as possible, where the gate goes from flat to round works best for me. When using the knife cut as little off as possible with each pass, should come off like shavings and not big chunks. Last,…[Read more]
Hello everyone, hope you don’t mind a new person joining here. I would like to ask on what kind of Gunpla in the 1/144 scale is marine type. Can anyone please let me know as I would like to get some. Diving and gundam would be great. Would love to take one diving with me , I know it sounds crazy but would like to try.
