Getting back onto the Sazabi build. getting the backpack done before i move back onto the body. funnel pods are done and just need a final top coat. nice to be working on a 1/100 scale again
indeed i am. I’m hoping to have it finished soon so i can get to work on my next ver ka kit, the nu-gundam. I’m doing a full color swap on that kit and looking to track down the double fin funnel kit for it as well. Im also planning on getting the Hi-nu ver ka but i waited a bit too long and now HLJ has them on order stop 🙁 so i will have to wait…[Read more]
Here’s the next piece to my collection. The insanely massive HG Neo Zeong. The box is compared to the MG Hi Nu Gundam and one piece is compared to the PG MK II Titans.
surprisingly no 🙂 the only ones that are exposed where it could be rubbed off are the ones on the shoulders. i used the sharpie on the back of the plastic so to minimize any possible unwanted contact. even with posing and flexing the parts im not seeing any damage to the sharpie. plus with the sharpie on the back of the plastic, the hologram…[Read more]
those stickers (especially on the shield) totally ruined the awesome work.
Ps at least use the knife and cut the sticker over the panel line. It works wonders.
DOUBLE WIELD!!!…fudge up only the right manipulator can hold a weapon,I’ll worry about it later still got to finish the rifle and tank in the back of the ankles.
thank you, I’m thinking of maybe adding something here and there but very subtle Don’t want to bite more that I can chew this is my first mod attempt and is getting tricky as it is.
Finished off the head. It was a pain trying to get rid of all the light leaks. Had to build little housing units for the LEDs and then use putty in some spots.
That is some impressive work, truly amazing. Im curious as to what you are using for the little metal bits? your placement looks great and its not an overwhelming effect. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress on this kit.
The smallest metal bits are 1mm ball bearings. The bigger ones on the knees are 1.3mm bearings and the biggest parts on the sides of the shins are 2mm (I think) detail screw heads. I picked them up at either Volks or Yodabashi Camera in Tokyo.
Track down a precision hand drill. HLJ sells one but they call it a HG One-Touch Pin Vice . Here is the link to its page on their website:

You can get lots of different drill bits that you can swap out. To get the bearings flush I have no sure fire trick. I just drill a little bit at a time until…[Read more]
So I am almost done with the HG Freedom Gundam; I just need to do the buster guns on the sideskirts, the beam rifle, and the sheild. The problem is: I REALLY hate the weird bluish gray color of them. Does anyone know a good gray color that I could paint them, while still similar to the shade?
darn it i found out about this when i got an email about it at 2 am in america i was very upset so i had to stay up and watch the whole thing lol
