Finally finished test fitting, did some glueing, cutting , drilled some holes sanding basic stuff, still got more to do before I prime and find out what the hell did I missed!.
WIP 02: Took care of the seam lines on the weapons using cement and putty, had to modify the sniper. Cut off the square piece on the barrel that pegs onto the main body of the…
The large tanks are kept in place with the help of some Milliput. The tank tracks have been added although despite the detail added to the wheels, nobody will see them as they’re pretty much covered by the sides.
Update time. Started painting on some parts. I know that’s not the usual technique of primering the whole kit then add base colors but this way I can make modifications based…
So i just got the MG psycho zaku watched a couple of revies on him befor the build and everyone was complainimg about the big beam bazooka that he cant hold it it dosent work and it has no posibility is what i got form most reviews but i will say it is possible and the MG Thunderbolt kit stay on the stands perfectly and no proble everyone also…[Read more]
i love how you’re inserting the psycho frame under that thin 00 armor. It takes skill to keep the proportions of that model slim while adding more plastic underneath. I’m working on the same model and it took me a lot of time.
I agree that you might be moved to advanced category but i would have it no other way.
The shields are now connected to the shoulder, the HiZack head has been modified to resemble a Zaku with Kotobukiya square mold used to cover the sides. The exhaust section…
Last week’s episode turned out to be pretty big but I think we may find a return to normalcy this week with our HG Iron-Blooded Orphan kits. They may be small but they stir some strong emotions. That’s my lead in […]
Helmwige Reincar is now one of my favourite IBO designs (minus crotch sword holder)! I hope a 1/100 FM will come out for this soon, along with the other knight like MS like the Graze Ritter!
Also, If I put an led unit into my gunpla, is it still ok for the beginners?
I like your guys show so much. Did you guys know the Tekkadan is use the Hekija to get their revenge on Jasley Donomikols for killing Naze Turbine, Amida Arca, and Lafter Frankland.
I’ve been so busy with school I haven’t touched my entry in 3 weeks nor taken a break in general. Hopefully I can finish it by Spring Break or I won’t have anything to submit.
Great episode. Just couldn’t stop laughing after seeing you guys make the Helmwige Reincar happy. That’s some relationship you have with it, after just building it. I want to win the KOS-MOS!!!!!
that fantasy star would be interesting to kit bash into a ms girl 😉 i want to join the competition but i just started on my kit about the same time you guys announced. the problem is i show some 3d stuff i was doing for the kit but not the actual kit itself. can i still join?
I like these 3 HG IBO kits in fact I got my shipping just 2 weeks ago and Helmwidge just got it yesterday (cant wait to build it) all from HLJ. Thanks for HLJ for this IBO kits and fast shipping.
It’s hard to believe Todd hasn’t played Xenosaga. That’s something he should fix. It’s a great series. Just make sure you have lots of popcorn handy for the cutscenes.
I’m not super excited about this option set, more for the next one, but hey more stuff is always cool. Not a fan of the Lupus Rex, and the HG looks like a mediocre kit due to sticker use and weird proportions, not a fan of the design either so an easy pass, even for the FM. Never saw the appeal in Beargguys and Papagguy does not do anything to change that opinion, looks classy though.
All these HG kits are on my wishlist right now. HG Rouei was there from the start and never came off. I’ve built the Hyakuren and enjoyed it, but I did much prefer the design of the Rouei more, and was sad we didn’t get a kit by the end of S1. I’m happy we get one now though, and although it has a bit of stickers and barely noticeable hollow parts, it’s on the wishlist and it’s never coming off.
Hekija is also a kit i’m interested in. A shame about the hollow parts on the feet, I wouldn’t of minded it if it didn’t have that thruster gimmick or the toe that arches upward, but still getting one. Fan of the MS, fan of the pilots and I need to show my respects to Lafter. :'(
Helmwige Reincar was a kit that appealed to me a bit at first, but I wasn’t terribly excited about it, then the colorscheme was shown and I wasn’t a huge fan of it, and seeing the mustard yellow didn’t help. Yet after seeing the box and the kit a few times, I now really want one. Funny what time can do to your opinions sometimes. I’m definitely getting all these kits though, and i’ve got good expectations. 🙂
I’ve seen some comments online criticizing the fact that you can’t upload any pictures of your progress off of the hobbylink.tv website, but I understand the rule. I agree with Syd about how people finish a great project and then they enter it into every subsequent contest online or otherwise. Nothing wrong with that I guess…but there’s a certain fairness with making something specifically for a major contest.
Can’t wait to start working on my kit for the competition, currently it’s sitting in my private warehouse waiting for a pre-order to come in stock before I ship. I’ll be making a 1/100 Space Shuttle Enterprise this year.
Yes guys, I would like to win one of those “perfumed” boxes. Also, thanks for another great episode. Not a huge IBO fan but I’ve bought 3 kits from the show so far. They’re pretty cool. Thanks HLJ crew and Gunpla TV.
Nice episode as always guys. Excited to get the new 1/100 Rex. The Full Mechanics line has been my bread and butter. Sort of related but do you guys think the 1/144 arm proportions for the rex are a little wacky? It seems like they’re much larger proportionally on the HG than the 1/100. The HG has a bit of an ape look going to me.
Great show as always guys. I’ve got a question about the playing with plamo contest. Under the beginner category it mentions hand painting is ok but what about airbrushing? If I use an airbrush to detail up some parts but not to do a full paint job would it still qualify for beginner or get bumped up to intermediate?
Well, i guess that this will be the final concept of the powered GM.
I wanted to use the smartguns but i can´t seem to find a way to install them without hinder the movement…
The Shields from the MS-06V kit were particularly thin, and in order to use a balljoint I had to file the polycap down a bit, then apply milliput to hold it in place and…
