I am going through all the episodes atm. And are around episode 150, where the give aways took olace..(why have I found this place not earlier), but what really is funny, is the amount of response to those episodes, compared to times where nothing is for free.
But if you look at the clicks on the episodes. Thats what counts. Mostly People watching the show and thats it. Not everybody is that talkactive and the most just want to see stuff thats comming out, stuff they can’t afford, and how it builds. If they went to hlj right after it.. Jobs done! And if I just wanted to know some Details about a kit, I…[Read more]
You are absolutely right. Gunpla TV is a big add, and a wonderful one none the less. It’s just a shame people only comment for a free bee. That’s great, if one doesn’t have the funds to buy something. Me, I am a very lucky one that doesn’t need Sid’s hand me downs. It’s just a shame that because of the 500+ comments, the ones that matter, like…[Read more]
Most do a “dry build” before painting. This is done to see where the parts may rub, so you can see where to take some plastic away, or identifying troublesome sections of the kit. So, that’s already done for you. The downside IMO is that I’m a bit of perfectionist when it comes to nubs and due to time constraint, I guess, Syd isn’t too neat with…[Read more]
Its the magic of buildig something out of lots of small parts, seeing how it takes shape, while you work your way through the process, which is gone. Even if it is a lot of work cleaning all the parts, it is the most vital part of modelbuilding for me. An these have lost already their virginity. I could also buy actionfigures and paint them. Hehe…[Read more]
Well nope, the base for the red parts is the Titanium color, ontop of it I painted the clear red to make it red and a deep metallic color . And it`s Mr. Aqua Hobby Clear red. Look up tutorials about Candy colors the technique is similar
Thank you! Yes, this is my first kit. I did take time and care building it though. Panel lined with Fine Point Gundam Markers, and top coated with Winsor & Newton acrylic matt varnish.
Hehe, yew announce the rules, I already got the idea in my head and just have to know if it fits the given frame, to order all I need…. P.S. I will build it anyways..:D
I built the same one.It’s easy to transform, but not without scratching paints off. It’s Hinge Grade. 🙂 Everything hangs onto a hinge. I think Bandai intended this kit to be unpainted & played with. Ideally, buy two & build one as mecha & another as fighter jet & paint them the same colors.
For those people who are curious what they do in the factory, here is a video of what goes on in the Bandai factory. This video is about a year+ old BTW.
Anyone wondered how your gunpla or plastic model are made? I found this video breaks down the general manufacturing process. After this video, I actually check for the small things he mentioned. I will not look at my gunpla the same again.
Looks great. I really don’t like yellow on my kits, so yellow turns out gold in my case, but seeing it done like this with the shading, makes it look actually really nice!!!
Finally, Nick and myself aren’t the only ones that noticed the same fact 😛
Hehe, but nobody really wonders. If I think, about what they are giving away. Even the shiping is worth it.
It’s just a bit sad seeing 200+ comments on a weekly video, then 2 new posts on a good day 🙁
Hehe let me guess, you both haven’t got anything till now, but are some of the regular active members. Since when are you here?
I’ve been here since the revamp of Hobbylink tv back in 2013. I’ve won stuff before, but the sheer volume of inactive members is insane!

But actually.. If I think about it. Nice to have on kit for free, but its somehow useless if already built.
