Im not sure how i missed this post for so long but im very glad i found it. That is quite an impressive build. Do you feel the metal parts kit you used was worth it? not a criticism, im inquiring because i was on the fence about getting one for my build and i decided against it. It looks great with your metallic high gloss paint job there. Very nice work.
Hay guys!
I have a question for you all, I have the RG Freedom and I ‘ve found that when trying to pose it the wings keep popping off by parts, I’ve reassembled them a couple of times already but this keeps happening, has anyone had this issue and have you found a solution to it or do you have any ideas?
Thanks a lot guys!
Hi, cant really remove the nub marks since I want to retain the original gold. I sprayed a coat of gloss over the gold parts, somehow it makes the nub marks less obvious.
All right, it was a long-long way 😀 . Finally I can say that my Jigabachi AV model is finished. I added a few modifications to the model and quite glad how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it. And you can see more photos in my profile.
Need a little advice.. I started working on my Zaku II red comet.. I’ve lined all the panels.. here it is.. is it better to flat coat the parts before assembly or after? I’ve never gone this far with a gunpla model before. My hyaku shiki was the first one I panel lined (what a panel lines it has). Thanks in advance!
If you’re not concerned about the time and more paint issue, I would go for the individual parts. Then you get the best cover and no parts will be left uncovered. It will also help stiffen the joints.
If paint and time is an issue, you could do them limb by limb. So take off the legs and arms, spray them when they are straight and all bent. This…[Read more]
Time is not an issue. The longer it takes the better the results. I’m just a bit scared to attempt weathering and dry brushing. Maybe on a cheaper kit. Or better yet one of my old ones.
Thanks for the advice and letting me know about the Q&A section.. I’ll look there from now on.
Made my first gunpla kit a few days ago it was the rg strike freedom I painted to red parts a metallic enamel black and positioned the skirts in the back and the detachable guns in the style of v2 gundam anyway here’s the final product mind the screw ups xD
For your 1st Gundam a RG, and the Strike Freedom… You did a great job, regardless of the screw ups.
It’s probably the hardest grade to begin with!
Anyway welcome to the world of Gunpla
Just finished my ZZ/Unicorn Ver. of the Capule. Comparison with my Turn A Kapool. These kits are great for the 4$ price tag and the best 8$ I have spent in a long time! Hope to see a HG of this kit in the future but till then this is a great addition to my collection.
