Did everyone catch the first episode of the newest Gundam series yesterday? Iron-blooded Orhpans kicked off its Sunday slot and Bandai was ready with the release of the 1/144 HG Gundam Barbatos. While many may […]
are they releasing the mace weapon for the NG 1/100 version in some add-on kit or magazine? seems like the overall proportion between the 1/144 and 1/100 is quite different and i feel i prefer the 1/144 better… it needs better(or more) hands though T_T
I made the Hresvelgr=ater a few months ago. Love love love the design and the clear effect parts for the weapons, but man do the joints suck. Had to add glue to all of them just to give them some resistance.
The big moment has arrived. We unveil the completed PG Banshee Norn Gundam and show you all three of its modes: Unicorn, Destroy, and Unchained. While it can be tricky to transform this guy, especially with the […]
awesome! i prefer the banshee over the unicorn but i doubt i’ll be getting the PG or MG version. i cringe at the thought of transformation after i paint it… any news or hints on the big december release for gunpla? i’m still holding out for something entirely new and shocking for the gundam community this holiday season xD there haven’t been any teasers at all at the recent shows/conventions.
I recieved my PG Banshee in the mail a few days ago, and I am in the planning/priming stage. These videos, plus the Unicorn ones will help guide me through this epic kit, so thanks Syd.
If you enjoyed the ARF then you should definitely look into some of the other RGs. While not all as articulate once completed, they’re extremely fun builds.
Yeah, I enjoyed this kit allot. honestly. I was loosing the interest on the hobby, but this kit reminded me how fun and rewarding this hobby can be, I’ll try other RG’s for shure, and as I said I really hope Bandai one day release the big bad guys on RG form.
Excellent work. You can build only so many stocks before you get bored. Try to spice things up. Like changing the color schemes, adding custom decals & metal parts, weathering, taking a break, branching out into non-Bandai kits, or even other kinds of kits. If i have the time & money, I’d get the entire RG collection. IMO, RG is a waste since the…[Read more]
yes, I do all that, follow the link to my blog and check out my other stuff, if you look closely to the logicoma, it is fully painted, weathered and with custom decals. Nowadays I rarely build a bandai kit, they usually bore me or annoy me, but this RG Astray was simple and fun. I didn’t do weathering on this kit because of the stickers, which is…[Read more]
No, by stock I didn’t mean no painting, but painting as the instructions say, to the letter. No color change. No modding. No kitbashing. No custom parts. Like stock cars, they bore me to no end. I can see ’em on the streets, why would I build ’em? Race cars & bikes, on the other hand, are a different topic.
I totally don’t get RG’s reasoning. If…[Read more]
Badai made one of my wishes true, the RG red frame, onow Im hoping one day they’ll release an RG kashatria and an RG sinanju, also a PG sinanju would be awesome!
HiQ Parts Pixel Camo Decal: Snow Camo, NC Decal 07, Wave Option System X-Decal 4 White and Satellite Caution Data Decal Set #1. Applying them to the RGM-79D took three times longer than I’d anticipated.
Syd has left the leg assembly until now because he wanted everyone to see the new gold color frame parts that Bandai used for the Banshee Norn. He finishes up both legs and connects them to the torso that we […]
In part 2 of the WIP Syd shows how the new parts for the Banshee Norn go on to give you a complete torso and head. He then hooks it up to the power pack and lights up the LEDs because he can’t wait any […]
Yeah, the head is a piece of art and a piece of frustration when assembling and transforming, especially when it’s painted, at least for the PG Unicorn that was, but sharing similar designs, I guess the Banshee is no different…
Rather than going through the build in the order the manual presents Syd has decided to build the new stuff found in the PG Banshee Norn first. That means you’re going to see the backpack, the Armed Armour DE, […]
HGBF Gundam Portent.
Fully painted according to the manual except the frame in Tamiya Gunmetal and the yellow parts in Mr Color laquer Super Gold with Alclad II Black Gloss Base.
I also did the One Point Technic with a holographic sheet.
Since the stand for PGs was only available in the first batch of release of the 00 Raiser, Bandai is not producing or selling them any more so you have to rely to third party if you want a stand for your PGs. I found this one on Ebay and it’s a Chinese knock off of this original stand. But you can get other stands like the ones that G-System sells.
Neat set!
