Looks great! It’s near the top of my must build list for sure.
I cut pieces of old runners into hook shapes and use them to hang runners of the kit I’m working on near me. Saves space and allows easy viewing of the runners while you build.
I usually look through the manual to find out which runners I need for the specific part then I only took those out of the pile.
I have to try your method sometimes, maybe on a smaller kit since this MG has A LOT of runners. I don’t feel like filling my room walls with runners lol
Go for it. Works for me. I’l twist up a long piece of masking tape or use a string and pin the ends somewhere and just hang them on it. Doesn’t take much space. Ends up kinda like shirts hanging in a closet.
The Hi-Nu itself is almost completed. Now working on the Fin-Funnels, getting rid of those awful gaps that where used on the Nu Gundam for placing them on the backpack on to…
while the reissue thing might be true for most PG’s, it’s not allways true, look at the red frame PG that thing sells like pankakes and it’s reissued several times per year, I think it will be the same for the unicorn.
Haha @Jaberwak. Should we call this the Big White Wallet Destroyer? In my opinion, which isn’t worth a damn for that matter, there will be a reissue soon after the first batch is sold out. Even being a PG. People all over the world anticipated it for so long. And after a few days it had a order stop on HLJ, but a week later it was up for pre-order…[Read more]
What I think happened was When Bandai gave the go ahead for preorders, they were trying to get an estimate on approximately how well it would sell. In retail, it is better to underestimate demand than to over estimate. So when Bandai received word that preorders were selling out, they allowed more orders to become available.
It is also used to remove seam lines on canopies on aircraft building. There are two compounds, one rough, the other a fine one. Apply the rough one on a clean soft cotton cloth. Use in twisting motions on the to be polished surface. After a few minutes, clean of the excess. Then apply the fine compound on an other clean cloth. Do the same as with…[Read more]
Hmmm I see. Thanks for the info. I bought the wing one then. The Tamiya Polish compound finish. I’ll have to buy the course and fine compound with the clothes as well.
Lol. She is not into building them but she’s really likes looking at the mechanics. She was blown away by the Nu Ver Ka and 3.0. I have been mentioning about Sazabi for a long while but never gave it a go since it’s kinda expensive 🙂
All three are put together and looking good in one of my cabinets . Decals are going to have to wait now though , at least for hi-nu ,thanks to my youngest son spilling his…
samuel decals they may be able to help u out with a brand new sheet of decals i highy doubt bandai will make a new set but if u ask samuel decals to make u a replicated sheet they may be able to help plus their decals are actually pretty good so its not a bad idea to do that
Tough luck there, I agree with @thebanshee13 Samuel decals would be a good idea. Even if they haven’t made a Hi-Nu Ver.Ka sheet I think that a regular Nu ver.Ka or old Hi-Nu would work well.
MG Star Build Strike is finally done. This is my first time paint on details with acrylic paint. It’s not the cleanest, but I learned a lot. I think I’ll be much better on the…
If you are talking about the armor parts and all those stuff, I didn’t use any paint. I simply top coated the entire model, except clear parts, with Krylon Matte.
For little details like bean rifles or under its feet, I use acrylic paint I purchased from a local hobby store. It’s called “The Army Paint – Warpaint”.
Again nothing special just a bit of panel lining (not sure if you can see it in the pic) overall a fun build. While transforming it to the waverider mode isn’t really fun it’s also not complex as alot of people make it out to be.
It’s been a long time since my last post. But here is my latest build, finally got round to doing the decals. The PG 00 Raiser. It’s a good build, but more MG type of build. Unlike the first PG’s which required a lot more work. But still a very nice kit to look at.
If you can get over the price. It’s easier than the RX-78-2 3.0. But for me it wasn’t as fun as the older PG kits which I found harder and more fun. Plus those are cheaper. But I am a big fan of the 00 so it’s still worth buying.
November is the month for completing my big three MG ver Ka’s before PG unicorn next month. They will all be straight builds with lining and decals and just a bit of detailing…
My completed MG Sinanju Ver. Ka. The gold trim was painted with tamiya gold leaf and i didn’t like the grey mold on the thruster so i painted them with a gundam marker. Also the tubes on the chest and waist were painted the same color..to many nub marks 🙂
Looks very nice for a HG.
