Wow lots of comments.. So Its great to see a new episode. The ‘build’ eps aren’t my favorites cause i like to see the talking and banter. And variety of stuff you guy’s show, thats why I don’t look at those build ones much.
5 yrs ago.. hmm.. 2010? Collecting the last of my Yamato Valkyries before they went crazy expensive.. Starting to get…[Read more]
Bravo for doing an episode at all with that illness! I love the mystery box idea. So much fun! Reminds me of the old days when i’d wait for a box from HLJ never having seen any reviews or many pictures of what I had ordered.
I built the HG ZZ, and it wasn’t too bad.. but i hadn’t planned to pick up Tryon 3.. after this episode I am reconsidering.. would be nice to mod it into an ‘Obari-style’ Tryon.. And its got tons of leftover parts for other customs. Great episode. Wish i could afford to visit L.A.
PS. Isn’t there a dealer room with an HLJ booth or are you guys…[Read more]
On the internet no one can hear your tone. (mine either!)
I am having issues with getting the hang of the message board structure here. I’m much more used to the ‘phpbb’ , or bulletin board’ system. this seems harder to navigate. I’ll probably get used to it.
I’m trying to figure out a way to get a notice when an item that is NOT up for sale…[Read more]
Yeah, that’s a tough one… Can’t think of a way either. Maybe a mail to HLJ. I think that in about one and a half hour the workday begins in Japan, as it’s almost midnight over here and there is a time difference of seven hours between here and Japan, so I’m sure you get a answer very soon.
Ps, I know, that’s why I put a emoticon at the end of…[Read more]
Oh i wasn’t talking about how anyone writes.. I mean the way the boards are structured is confusing to me. Groups instead of ‘posts’ .. I’m still getting used to the SOFTWARE used here.
Wasn’t my intention to be mean to you, just felt like being a smart @ss.
And to be honest, it took me a while to get used to writing of some people.
About the site, once you get the hang of it, it will become more and more clear how it works. It was designed to be a bit like Facebook.
But seriously, if you are interested in a product which is in…[Read more]

I just did some research on this a couple months ago, heres what i found:
I kept seeing this ‘yellow’ putty substance they would fill in the voids in HG kits with, and create simple parts, In Hobby Japan magazine. I google-translated several pages until it became clear it was called ‘polyester putty’ It seems they have Tamiya Polyester Putty,…[Read more]
Oh yea. If this all goes horribly wrong, spray the whole part with Easy Off oven cleaner, and scrub with a toothbrush, then restart, the plastic will be in good shape but all the paint will be GONE.
This is a tricky one.. I have been doing this:
1. Tamiya Acrylics base color,
2. future (pledge) floor polish coat.
3. Sludge wash (distilled water, ground up black charcoal or other powdered color, a few drops of dish soap)
4. After sludge wash dries i wipe most of it off with paper towel and q-tips, just wet the tiniest bit with water..
5.…[Read more]

As far as I know there isn’t any way to get notified if something comes back in stock you just have to check it every once in a while. at least that’s what I’ve been doing for the last couple of years xd
1; Learn your ABC’s and maybe a translator or dictionary…? 😛
2; If there is anything that has caught your fancy on HLJ, don’t wait for it to come in stock, just order it. You’ll only be charged when the product comes in stock. There is a possibility that more people have placed an order on a product and when it comes in stock, it’ll be…[Read more]

The boards are set up so that you can share and view content specifically relayed to one subject, like “What are you building” for WIPs.
If you don’t want to go searching through groups you can use the “activity” feed to see every post around Hobbylink.tv.
Hope that helps a bit.
