Good idea, I’m looking forward to the result.
It may pay to have some sand paper handy to flatten out the ‘F’ and ’91’ scribes on the shoulder Armor, but that may be a decision you make once you get started.
Completed my first HG gunpla model, the build strike full package. It was a fun kit to build. My only complaint is some of the parts are really small. I just didn’t think 1/144 scale would be so tiny. Assembling the head was probably the hardest part of the build for me. Especially that one sticker that goes to the back of the head. That…[Read more]
So far pretty good, used the nippers and then hobby knife. Got better at it. Using the knife is getting easier but it’s still difficult. As you can see at the back are some spots. I don’t know what to do. Help please !!!
You can always use a gundam marker or real touch marker to hide the discolouration, other than that there isn’t too much you can do if your using a hobby knife.
In my experience though it’s only really visible discolouration on blue and dark red plastc.
If you are not painting then markers are one of the best ways to go. I find that when cutting the parts free from the tree cut as far away from the part as possible, where the gate goes from flat to round works best for me. When using the knife cut as little off as possible with each pass, should come off like shavings and not big chunks. Last,…[Read more]
Yeah nick, I just put them there would probably start late tomorrow evening.yeah Gunpla can really get to ya. Thank god I’m on break from work. Going back to work in May , till then Gunpla and scuba diving. Do you know any Gunpla 1/144 water type.
If you’re looking for a big build then the HGUC Zock may be a good choice. Other than that there are ones like Z’gok, gogg and hygogg.
One you may want to look at is the set containing HGUC Char’s Z’gok, Gogg and acguy called ‘operation capture of jaburo’
Just an update on my Epyon build. Only doing dry brush on the inner assembly parts and hard to reach decals as i need during the build. Trying to put off as much of it as…
Got my packages today and last time I wanted to buy the Chogokin Macross Base butin two hours that kit discontinued already and now as being available again I’ll buying that beast >o<
Just finished my second Gunpla . It’s fun putting them together and doing some panel lining. But to take out those small dents is very hard but I am trying. Any recommendations from the seniors in the build over there.
By small dents do you mean the bits where you cut it off of the runner?
An easy way to fix that is by cutting them off with a hobby knife. Be careful if you do though, if you cut to much you can be left with an indent, which is far harder to fix.
Thanks Nick for the reply. I have been trying out how to use the hobby knife. I guess the only way to learn is by practicing. I will be trying hard for my next project which is Gundam X Mao from BF series.
