dam, little feedback for @syd and @ryan for next time, the photo requirements are a little outdated, i get that you don’t want 100 8k resolution images from everyone but 1200 (x 675 to keep ratio with 1080p) is rather small these days and capping it to 450kb per image makes it worse, i had to lower the quality a bunch to get them under and you…[Read more]
Even 3MB to upload it here is often to small And it is of not matter in the forum. But on the competition it is very much about the true shadings and details, that makes a difference.
Picsize is def a problem for me too.
Used the friday to almost finish the basic modifications to the kit. Just need a bit more work on the back and prepare it for painting. For modification. Use the official mass…
I just want to wish all you guys the best of luck. There are some awesome models and dioramas, and I don’t envy the judges. They have there work cut out for them – that much is certain.
I wish I could be competing with you, but alas exams are around the corner and I just knew I didn’t have the time to finish the project between work and…[Read more]
Finishing the decals. unfortunately the mark softener not doing anything to hasegawa decals. simply not soften it to really follow the contours of the surface.
Well. A last ditch effort to took part in the competition… A custom mini4wd. It looks like ill have 3 days to complete the project. For now quick start to the project (done…
Painting the GM Sniper II is completed. I have also paint-chipped the parts, and applied minor weathering with enamel paint. Still lots more weathering to do, panel lining and decals as well.
Update 4. In final stages before clear coat which will be performed tomorrow afternoon at 3PM EST. Touching up white on upper arms and legs. Reinforcing custom shoulder…
All the internal sub-assemblies are completed and painted. The space shuttle main body has been primed and painted flat white. Next steps are to mask and paint the black and grey colors.
Bandai has made April a lean month so we only have the High Grade Vual Gundam to show, but does that mean that next month’s Shizuoka Hobby Show is going to feature a lot of big reveals? Possibly. Be sure to watch […]
So, here’s a question for you two – at some point Bandai have to stop releasing PG Unicorn variants and actually release an all-new PG. If you had to put a bet on it, what would you LIKE to see as a PG release, and what do you think would in reality be more likely as the next new PG release? I would like to see a Sinanju Stein, but I reckon it would be something more mainstream like a GM or a Barbatos.
Also I am calling it now that Todd says “Ball” ^_^
Kamille Bidan is the pilot of the Zeta Gundam, since he was a boy but Kamille is supposedly a girls name he ends up shouting “Kamille is a man’s name!” a couple times during the series.
Anyways cool Vual, and looking forward to the Evolution Zeta. Great show as always guys.
Am I the only one that feels like they should have released a few more kits in April instead of trying to overload March? Anyway I finally got a Freedom 2.0 and I have to say it looks amazing in person just on the runners. I can’t wait till finals are over.
I built the previous HG Zeta a while ago but ran into trouble assembling the legs as the lower leg assembly had both sides almost identical which lead me to glue two sides from the left and right legs together, only realising my mistake when I began assembling the second leg. With this in mind, I’d be interested in seeing how the leg construction of the new kit differs with the 2003 version.
Might not an active month but new episodes are always nice.
I already bought, built, and taken review pictures of the Gunpla Evolution Project Zeta, and it’s a nice kit. It’s definitely the most sturdy, articulate Zeta we have, but the excessive stickers kinda put a hamper on…well…everything, still happy we have it though. I was kinda disappointed on how little “new stuff” was done after all the “Evolution” advertising, the torso was the only new innovation I really saw with the arm joints, and I still feel it could be perfected more, especially since it’s a little finicky and could break under pressure, with the tight tolerances not helping. Still though, it’s a new Zeta, and I think it’s the best Zeta we got so far, so i’m glad to have it.
The decals are awesome, these will go well with any IBO kit I might pursue in the future, especially the Ryusei-Go ones, I aim to get all 3 and maybe 4 units, so I gotta get there.
Vual is an awesome design, i’ll still have to pick it up despite the problems i’m hearing because I just can’t resist not getting such a good looking MS. Stickers are annoying but hey, it’s an HGIBO kit, expected them. I just love this design too much, with the repair aesthetic, colorscheme, and design.
I think the Zaku 2.0 is perfect as is. The only way they can do a Zaku 3.0 is to include higher detail like more panel lines and more color separation. I would love for them to improve many of the older mobile suits like the older GMs with a better frame and articulation.
From the tsunami of kits to a dry-spell. I don’t know which one to get sad about(My wallet crying due to it being sucked bone-dry or the crying due to over-spillage)P.S. To the competitors vying for the top prize in the Playing With Plamo Competition, Good luck and may Akihiro’s nippers be with you!(Can’t enter due to study reasons) P.S. Tod actually got my name right its pronounced with the j as in jungle.
I love thew new Gundam Decals! I wish they would make more for RGs especially ones like the Sinanju since it has a glossy finish that makes the stickers show up more.
Someone from my elementary school, who I haven’t seen in years but saw on the bus, told me he has a MG Zeta in his closet, but never built it. So, who knows? If I win this one, and buy off his, I’ll have two MG Zetas.
So uhh..this might have been asked before, but BANDAI did tease a ZZ Gundam Ver. Ka. coming sometime this year. Any news on that? 🙂 Great show as always guys!
