Okay, new project! Gotta try and win “Playing with Plamo Modeling.” Time to get out of bed and time to suit up! Here I come!
Cheers,

More errors yesterday, and more things I had to give up or compromise on. But I can only get better. Maybe next time I take on such a build I’ll have learned some scratch…
Progressing….
1. Worked on the head part. painted and added a transparent “visor”
2. worked on waist front and back
3. worked on forearms – small detail
How do you cut the plaplate so perfectly!!! T_T i wish i could cut pieces with that accuracy, even with a ruler it ends up sliding one way and screwing up….. =(
hey, trust me I am having the same difficulty… what i do is to cut bigger and then slowly reduce and when you are almost near , use a sandstick to trim down.
I had to redo several time haha. It’s my first time doing so many custom. otherwise I have seen in my hobby store they were selling some pla plate cutting machine (a small square one) just…[Read more]
I don’t know. It does not fit for intermediate nor advance.
They will move to the correct group if they believe it does not belong here. So whats the problem?
Intermediate is my personal level as I have just mastered air brushing and starting few custom parts.
As for led, is the first time I’m doing it. Not even sure that will work with a switch…[Read more]
Encore un concurrent hobby forever !!!! Je ne vais pas m’en sortir ^^” En tout cas tu avances bien sr ton projet ! ça motive les bons d’achats hlj ! XD
Yeah no worry. The Admin will decide at the end. Anyway I don’t hope to win. It’s just for fun. There are many other just by looking at quality of their painting you know you are still far from them
Carved a hole inside the Guntank waist to accommodate the Hy-Gogg’s torso. I cut off the pegs on the Hygogg’s center piece so it could slide in and out for painting once the main torso shell has been glued together. The torso assembly looks like this once fitted together, now to fuse seams.
Put together the backpack tonight. Much more satisfied with the shading on this, as it’s overall more visible, espceially in pictures. Also mounted the monoeye, and decided to show it since one of the last timnes it will be so clearly visible. The Sinanju head is cool, but the eye is very hidden behind that big visor.
I guess I should post some work in progress pictures, this is not the completed engine but up to where the instructions say to complete. I follow the instructions somewhat but…
Very nice engine. Bleach is my friend getting rid of that plated chrome… I use to use Autosol as a stripper which was good for polishing real chrome! But Bleach does a better job in a matter of an hour or two.
The Vidar came in way earlier than expected, allowing me to finish up earlier, love the shoulders!! just gotta do some last touch ups and whatever else pops in my head.
Just as soon as I get my digital camera in the mail in a day or two, I’ll post the rest of the kit I’m doing.. These are the kits I’ve been working for the competition, sorry for the bad quality of the pics, I’m using my very near death phone for this.
I hear ya Inclemens, I felt the same way while checking these out! Never give up, do your best fellow modeler . Your Kämpfer looking really good so far.
I love the deep blue colours! can’t wait to see it assembled.
I have never build a gundam before…but after being part of this community…I feel like i am slowly poisoned and starting to think of which Gundam kits I want to get 🙂
Don’t even worry about tge competition, just have fun and do your best. And if it makes you feel any better, if I was a gambling man I’d say quite a few people here are going to be moved up to advanced. With so much kit bashing, scratch building, and heavy modification, it seem improbable that it wouldn’t happen.
Thanks for the replies guys! I’m just glad I get to see soo many cool builds here with detailing and techniques I’ve never seen before. I’m pretty new to all this and there is still soo much to learn, but that IS part of the fun.
Really excited to finally assemble my own kit though. Just need to apply the last top coat and then I’ll assemble it…[Read more]
It’s okay, I never entered this thinking I’d win or anything to begin with. I just like being part of a competition since it makes me try harder.
But you might be right on the reshuffling, though. I’ve been looking around in the other groups aswell and even in beginner I see people posting who are clearly not beginners. HL is going to have a hard…[Read more]
I’m really happy with the blue aswell. I’m using Vallejo and sofar all their colors look really good. I’m always surprised by how great their products are.
Yeah this hobby really sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I’ve only been doing this for a little over half a year and I’ve already spent waaaaaay more money on this then I thought I would. They…[Read more]
Nice job with that sword, and with the LEDs!
Nice. I put led on my kit as well.
