Yeah! I have all of the RG 00 kits! The PBandai GN ARMS, Aestrea, Type F, and the trans-am exia. My trans-am 00 raiser is in the post. I’m now waiting for the RX78-3 and RX78CA and am trying to get the HGBF kits too!

Nice, would love to see some photos. Always nice to see others collections.
Thanks man! I only look for rare kits these days, so I don’t really buy a lot anymore. Can’t keep up with all the new releases anyway. D:
I’ve seen that! That is a titanium finish. What I want is the metallic finish. The one with the metallic flakes in the paint that make it look glittery. Thank you for your suggestion though. I love the titanium finish too!! 😀
Would anyone happen to know what metallic paints could be used to achieve this finish? I have been researching and I seem to cannot find any concrete information on achieving…
that picture is a limited edition kit i dont remember exactly where it came from but it came out a whiile ago. if ur planning to paint that kind of similar effect u wont be able to do it perfectly but its id prob use some kind of silver/aluminum and mix it with some white to achieve that effect
im pretty sure mr metallics are laquer based because alot of the mr colors/ mr whtevers are generally laquers unless there are some exceptions which i doubt

You should look into doing a silver coat of paint and then going over it with a clear color paint like clear blue I’ve done it with tamiya paints and it works ok there’s a video on gunplay tv about it too a early episode

What ive done is base coat silver then clear blue for the blue parts and clear red for the red parts then i put a clear pearl coat ive used tamiya ts-65 on everything and that gives u those sparkly bits

seems like it’s basically chrome-silver/silver/aluminum for everything and coated with clear blue, clear yellow and clear red for the colored parts. i would say choose the silver/metal tone you like and how grainy the metallic pieces are for more sparkle (or less). you’ll find that some metallic paints have very fine flakes that becomes smooth and…[Read more]
To be honest, I think the white parts are coated with Tamiya Silver Leaf spray cans. Never used them, but all the pictures I see on the net shows that there are no visible metallic flakes in the paint, and to me the silvered white parts show no metallic flakes. Could be the resolution of my screen….
The blue seems to be the Tamiya Metallic Blue…[Read more]
I agree with the white silver parts. They’re smooth on the model with no visible flakes. It’s closer to the non-buffing Aluminum Metalizer I use from Testors. Grey parts like the round ones (condenser caps on knees, ankles, and thighs) do seem to have visible flakes however, just like the Tamiya Chrome Silver. The thrusters are painted with Alu…[Read more]
Hi guys. Just to be sure, you can’t put acrylic over enamel right? I have Mr Hobby Top coat gloss and an enamel chrom paint bottle. Despite the fact that the top coat is acrylic based, could I use it to coat my enamel chrome coat?
Yes, you can put an acrylic on top of an enamel. The enamel paint is the stronger of the two. But to make it a bit more confusing, you can even put an enamel on top of an acrylic. As long as the acrylic has been fully cured.
Good luck and happy building
“Pull it out!” I don’t need a prize. The fact that that phrase was said is prize enough! XD
Love the show guys. I don’t have a PC, so I have been watching every episode and viewing your sites via iphone. Was wondering if you considered making an app or mobile version of the site. Also I love podcasts and I am so sad that your podcast does not…[Read more]
