Ahhh Database Error, fancy meeting you again… so soon.. haha.
——————–
What’s up my fellow gundam maniacs. Nice to be signed-in again and share an update with…
haha yeah totally busy with all of the extra equipment! I actually thought of getting another shield armor during the time I purchased the haul. But I decided to save it for the Full Armor. But yeah, I’m definitely stoked for the redux project. I’ve learned so much since then. And now with an airbrush in hand, I can refine it.
Just saw it too and I share the same reaction as the characters. A pretty nice WTF moment when they revealed Sei and Reiji’s battle with the Thai champ. I loved how outrageous it was portrayed, especially the Director’s assistant’s reaction after, haha. The next episode looks like it will have another WTF moment too.
A WTF moment indeed my friend LOL, but in an amusing way. Well it seems that a Mario Kart rally race is up next for the elimination round LOL. I sense a Takeshi’s Castle theme going on LOL.
Absolute craziness I say. The head of the company is really messing with things just to get Reiji out of the competition. The next episode will be something interesting.
That episode was… horrendous. It seems to be going downhill if this is what we can expect, can’t believe I waited nearly two weeks for that episode. I know this series is meant to be taken entirely serious, but somethings don’t belong in gundam (won’t say it to avoid spoilers).
The episode was decent. I think it could have done without the whole “itchiness” part. That just seems to have been thrown in there cause the writers couldn’t think of something funny to do with the main story. It could have just been left out IMO.
As for the baseball game, that was a complete surprise. And a pretty cool one to say the least. I…[Read more]
It’s possible, considering they can just use the existing RG Strike frame and change the armor around. That and it’s a main suit, haha. I didn’t think of Sei going with an RG frame, though. Looking back at it again, it did look like the SBS had an inner frame. Unless that was just the Plavsky particles giving that effect.
High Grade Build Strike (and hence, also the upcoming HGCE Aile Strike) actually does have a certain amount of “inner frame” inside the forearm. Not really made for decoration (as in MG kits) but more as a way to provide the color separation needed for the elbow and seamless assembly for the white parts of the forearm (the white areas of the…[Read more]
Gunpla aficionados, what are your thoughts and impressions on 1/35 Gundam Head Bust Resin Kits? Would you consider getting it at some point in time? I just recently came across about it while browsing and instantly became stoked of acquiring one.
I’d love to try my hand at one, but resin kits take a ton of time to work on. I already have limited time as is so I think I’ll stay with plastic for now, haha.
If you’re looking for a HI Nu, my friend has an extra SMS HI Nu bust, but he’s still on vacation to HK. I could pass along any interest. SMS is a great resin company.
As for the resin heads, i have an Original G System GP03 bust. They’re really fun builds, but like Dlinker said, the prep work is the key. I still haven’t finished mine… 3 years…[Read more]
This is the first I’ve ever heard of them, but man, I want one now, haha. Squee and Dlinker are right. That would take a long time to finish, but it would definitely be an awesome display piece if you put in the hours.
LOL, me too, just a few days ago that I discovered them. It was from a member on reddit.com’s Gunpla community. I quickly added it on the kit list after I saw it LOL. No doubt, it’s definitely an awesome display piece; an instant eye catcher. And all the invested effort will be worth it in the end.
Thnx for sharing Squee. Definitely diggin that Stamen Bust… and wow, still in progress 3 years later. Goodness, resin kits will definitely kick my ass. I checked G-System’s store before my post. I really wanted their RX-78-2 Head Bust, but unfortunately sold out.
Well i have gunpla ocd, so the three years is more because i started other projects. You should also check out GSM http://www.g-system-models.com/index+.html
You can buy them prepainted/built. You can also search Ebay, there are sellers selling finished kits.
Does anyone know if there’s a metal version of Mr. Measuring Cup with Pourer? Or if there’s another brand that carries it? I have the Mr. Paint Tray, but since I’ve acquired an Airbrush, a tray with a pourer would be more convinient for me to use. If there’s none available, I thought about cocktail jiggers as substitute LOL.
Sorry man, can’t help you here. I’ve been looking for something like that myself and haven’t found it (at least not something that’s affordable). I went with 1oz. plastic medicine cups and toothpicks to solve my mixing/pouring needs, along with Testors brand empty glass bottles for paint storage.
Thanks for your input man! Testors brand empty glass bottles will definitely be of great use in the future. Especially when I start making my own paint mixture. But hey check this out, our search is over, I found the crown jewel of mixing apparatus! Chem Lab Beakers LOL… they have them in 5ml, 10ml, and even 1ml.
Oh man, I don’t know why I didn’t bother to search for those. A most excellent find. I’m checking Amazon now and they have 10ml glass beakers for 84 cents. As much as I like my plastic medicine cups, these might just be easier to work with overall.
thwalker, man, i was so anxious to receive a response from her that I checked my mail box daily LOL… which I normally don’t do. I’m glad we got something. But for now we just have to remain patient.
Too bad they won’t tell us what went wrong. Kinda curious to know what happened, haha. Still, it sounds like they’re working on it so perhaps by the end of the January we’ll be up again (at the latest).
Sounds like a server crash. I’m kinda surprised it’s taking this long to fix, but that stuff can be pretty severe, especially if it involves a really big crash.
Most likely by next week. really’d be shocked if they got it back up by the end of this week but hey that’s pushing my luck as is. Whats important is that we got some (albeit incomplete) information and that theyre fixin it. 😀
That Pencil I used to own like 3 to take notes with lol XD
How’re the results with Pencil Lining?
