not gunna lie i very much dislike the victory build on that the articulation was just baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad no offense to anyone whos luvs the kit including you
The kit looks great once assembled and the gimmick is great, but in terms of poseability its lacking greatly.
which part of the Articulation did you find bad? I found the joints to be really loose when I assembled it for the first time ,but a few coats of paint on the inner frame fixed most of that problem. the part I am most annoyed about is…[Read more]
I really like the MG Victory, we wanted a fully transforming victory and we got it.
The build is really complex and interesting as well.
Do you plan on getting the core booster set for all the extra weapons and dash pack?
The hips are weak because of the damn polycap ball joints but if you leave them in one pose they’ll stay. You have to use the ankles a lot more on this kit to keep it stable, similar to the Delta Plus.
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]
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?
liking this build a lot. I think the hg seed kits have a lot of potential for customization. I recently picked up the Cgue Deep Arms and Ginn Hi Maneuver and plan to do involved builds like the ones from NGT Factory. I like your take on realism
