Pictures from dec 2013
DONE! with decals and matt finish. I learned a lot from my first HG.
next day … the head broke. fixed! I learned even more from my first HG.
All pictures are taken using my phone, could use better lighting.
Overall, I will sum up my gunpla experience with the following:
Was fun! View
Assuming you are only talking about that one piece without attached to anything
1) spray the whole piece the color for missiles heads
2) use thinner to thin down the missile base color
3) wet the missile base
4) pour (drop by drop) thinned base color on the base. make sure the piece is flat
5) let it dry
Don’t from Toronto, but AnimeXtreme (315 Spadina Avenue) have quite good selection the last time I checked. other than that one, there are a few gunpla stores in the Chinese malls (not much tho)
Anime Xtreme has got a very good selection of Gundam, but they are so pricey, I used to order from there but some Gundams were 30-40$ over the average price + shipping (and I’m not talking about PG..) and never understood why. Otherwise it is an awesome store.
In Yuuma’s case, since Meijin and China are friends, Yuuma would thanks Meijin for looking after her sis (Assumption on everyone looking after each others when they are acquaintances)
It is a Japanese manner to thanks your relative’s peer to “taking care of” the person as looking after. (Usually use when meeting a classmate or co-worker of that person)
As they are from same school and know each other, it is pretty normal.

one way you can try is to wet the line first. It is sitting there because of water tension. It should run after you wet the line.
Depending on the surface, it is also easy to paint the line directly then clean off the surface.
Haha, as i commented in the first episode.
Sei wasn’t part of school’s gunpla club, he said he has to help out at family shop and doesn’t have time for club (one of the early episode in GBF).
So Sei put 11th’s tournament gunpla in his 7th tournament trophy. Even with that, he has to hide it inside a Dom.
So far, we only seen Ral and Meijin in GBFT…[Read more]
Beargguy III, as the “III” suggests, is a later version of the Beargguy.
Beargguy is from Gunpla Builders Beginning G a 3 episodes OVA from 2010. You can find the OVA on youtube. It’s only around 10 min each (note: not about gundam club)
At 1:45 of the video, you showed a picture of China Kousaka from Build Fighters while you are pointing at Rina…[Read more]
there are a few ways to paint metallic color.
mainly in two ways: (let’s take red and let’s use spray)
1) metallic red spray can (doh~, I know)
2) spray a silver coat, let it dry up, then a clear red on top
Ty,i will try it in my Astrays,im thinking about buying the Sengoku Astray while waiting for the blue and red frame to restock,and might paint it metallic purple
sorry I haven’t been checking into hlj for a bit but to add to that you should put down a gloss black coat before the silver, most silver paints tell you this on the can, metallic paints have a bit of transparency to them and the black makes the silver just a bit more vibrant.
Also I’d probably go for a mica/pearl over a metallic if you can find…[Read more]
For no brush marks: Really soft brushes. Instead of painting a big area at time, go small, line per line, little per little, but key point is soft. (would usually spray for no mark)
You can always thin the paint a bit first.
Dry brushing is a technique you should try if you didn’t already. You can find many tutorials online.
Because there are space in the back. The chest is not flat flat and I also panel lined. She had to sign fast since there was a huge line up ( I waited 2 hours )
Luckily I also took picture with her.
I will put a mirror in the back for display or put it on a rotating plat
