Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to Syd, Ryan, Todd, Lindsay, Anna, Ardith, Robin and everyone else in the HLJ team that helped this episode happen.
It’s been great seeing not only the show but also the community grow over the years.
You’ve been doing great guys but now it’s the countdown to 300!
How about having the correct numbers, but not in the right order….. Hahaha
Only 100 episodes to go guys, chin up or start building for the real contest 😉
After five years, and a few extra weeks, HobbyLink TV is proud to bring you Gunpla TV Episode 200. A lot of planning went into this special episode, which was then discarded in large amounts due to the time […]
Hmmm… I don’t know if I’m early or what but first, congratulation for the 200th episodes!!! I watched you guys since the beginning and y’all have improved a lot.
It’s the first episode of gunpla tv that I watched since a 2 month long hiatus. (Cegep got in the way 🙁 ) It’s good to be back!
I’m not real sure about entering the competition since I’m very broke ( I just paid my tution fee and some additional summer courses.) I don’t think I’ll even have the money to get a model kit since I’m investing into a computer for studying engineering in university!
Anyways, glad to see you guys all healthy and keep up the good work! 🙂
It’s crazy how much time and effort you’ve put into Gunpla TV, the prices were way beyond what I could expect!! Not only that, the humurous video shows real dedication as well, haha! “Which one is Syd, and which one is Ryan?”, my favorite line from the skit. xD
Even though I didn’t win anything, getting recognized by receiving a consolation prize/coupon (whatever it may be) felt really appreciating, especially as a viewer that constantly follow the show like an eager dog. I hope you guys continue the show for as long as possible, and I also hope Syd’s wife doesn’t get jelly of (Syd’s second wife) the PG Unicorn.
Congrats on finally reaching the big TWO O O. Hope you guys keep going for another 200 more or maybe you shouldn’t because you guys keep making me spend money on kits. Any way looking forward to seeing the custom contest, too much talent for me to even think about entering.
Great episode guys! Was on the edge of my seat for the V2 prize but sadly no luck. Then again I already got lucky with the MG Gundam X on sale. Thanks for all the episodes and great fun, already looking forward to 201!
Congrats on making it to episode 200! I never realize how much work it took to make this Milestone episode. Props and Kudos. Keep on doing what you guys do best!
Well i didnt win, but it was still fun watching, i thought your first few “Chapters” were hilarious especially Todd’s initiation, good work guys and here’s to 200 more.
To be honest i didnt like how the prizes were given out. Bundles for only 10 people didnt seem fair to me. Could have stretched that out and let more people win even if they already have a kit; they would have been grateful.
The episode itself was ok. Some funny parts but i thought hlj was in Japan. All i saw were white folk. Haha.
Congrats on your 200. Ive been watching since the very beginning and enjoy your efforts, though i have never won anything ever which is a bummer.
Congrats to those who did win.
We are located in Japan and staffed by a large, diverse crew! All the folks who made appearances in this episode were included because they’ve been involved in some way with Gunpla TV or hobbylink.tv. Thanks for watching!
To Syd for creating such an awesome program, Newest team member Todd for the in-depth analysis of each new kit and Ryan for umm.. ahhh..
Kidding we all know just how much Ryan does behind the scenes as well as his onscreen cameos. (The Stan Lee of GunplaTV) Thank you guys soo much for the last five years of exceptional entertainment and information.
Can’t wait for the upcoming Comp. So many colour combination ideas. Hmm… Dark Barbatos maybe…
Congrats 200 episodes! Love your regrettable acting! Hilarious. I imagine Syd having tea with his best buddies unicorn everyday, not just for the show. Thanks for all the give-aways. Everyone got something! hopefully a discount code for next purchase. Looking forward to 201!
Thanks for this episode guys, and no wonder my Gunpla addiction has increased since I’ve been watching you, you have amazing dedication!!! Also, thanks for deciding that everyone is a winner, whatever it may be, really appreciate it!
blindside! wake up on a sunday and ep 200’s been out since friday? got me good on that one…
awesome 200th, Gunpla TV team; the festivities were much enjoyed!! the blooper segments lol’d me especially hard. good times, and congrats to the winners!
Even its the classic Gundam colors you did a great job making it not look like a toy. I first thought it was a bit over the top weathered, but in detail i comes out with an almost perfect Illusion of a heavy armored machine in small scale.
Thanks for comments..i had plan not to do weathering on that because to make it shine & give it glossy .. mybe i should try doing that technique on clear parts in future.
My first attempt weathering gunpla kit… just playing around with Real Touch Markers & pastel dust. Not the best looks but half way decent for my taste.
Great result!!! If you don’t mind me asking, didn’t the Modelmaking Guru post pics of your work on FaceBook? Could have sworn I commented on this build over there (very positive of course) 😉
Just started building the OVA version a day ago (gonna take a few months I guess)…. How did you do the sleeves if you don’t mind me asking, they look great!!!
That sleeves had made me crazy. I tried to apply reverse wash but not good to me, then do masking & paint it but not so pretty either. Lastly i go direct handpaint suprisingly its look better!
If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed there is something off…. Was it a post-shading job?
If that was the case, a little tip for the next time, first do the darker tone for the edges and then fill in the large surfaces with the lighter tone. Did that same technique as you did on a Zaku once, my ldumb luck was that the colour lended…[Read more]
@Daverb _ You’re absolutely right. In my early days of building gunpla i do like the kit with the clean looks but now not much. Post shading is much better than nothing it should make your kit more realistic even it’s not painted.
As a teetee580 first said he do a dark tone like grey along the edges & give a fill light shade of white on large surfaces. For more tips & tutorial please checkout in youtube, you can always find a many great videos from the pro.
I recommend using super glue or acetone. With the latter you can directly use it on the ABS, but it will of course run. Mixing some “old” ABS with acetone makes a great glue for it, add more to get the consistency that is too your liking. Just make sure the container you keep it in is resistant to acetone.
Good luck and happy building!
Thx for reply. Done some tests using acetone (basically nail color remover) without the ABS filler. Just was wondered if there would be something easier to work with. Abaout that old ABS. How much is needed for that mix? Also if its mixed with ABS will i’ll be able to use it brush? Im a bit sceptical with super glue – knowing my luck it would…[Read more]
You can add as much as ABS to the mix as you like. The more you add to the mix, the thicker it gets. You can get it to a consistency of Tamiya extra thin, normal glue and even to a thinned down putty consistency. Then you can certainly use a brush to apply it. I have to recommend getting some 100% acetone, available in most hardware stores. There…[Read more]
you think that’s bad? I was 5 numbers away from the 4th place prize XD
How about having the correct numbers, but not in the right order….. Hahaha
Only 100 episodes to go guys, chin up or start building for the real contest 😉
