Just snapped this sniper from Frame Arms, the Kagutsuchi Otsu. Definitely a step up from the last Frame Arms model I built, but things definitely need gluing. Took some work to get it in this pose. But that gun, oh that gun though.

While I haven’t built this particular HG myself, but any issues you have should be more or less common to any other HG from Bandai (unless it’s a VERY old kit). Perhaps if you said where you are…[Read more]
Completed my Roundfacer (1/72 by Max Factory) recently. Nice kit, better than the Dougram kit IMO. Unfortunately, other MF kits from the Dougram series are more expensive than this one.
So playing around with SolidWorks trying to recreate this MS. So far not too bad, but still needs some work. Eventually this is going to be 3D printed.
No problem. Sorry I’m so late, but I think your WIP is taking shape. Wood glue gives you time to fiddle with the seatbelts & if you screw up like touching the glue on the seat, you can wipe it off with a damp cloth or q-tip. Easy. CA on PE. Don’t bother with plastic cement except for interior to underside bonding. Also, wood glue on clear parts.…[Read more]
Completed my second kit this week: the RG MK-II A.E.U.G.. Used a weathering master kit by Tamiya, washed the lines, added decals and top coated it with a matte spray. Pretty happy with the results 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BE_jgZgn6GY/?taken-by=gundamblog
* Found this improperly built & painted kit in my stash
* Disassembled it & removed paints
* Lot of sanding, polishing & puttying even the clear parts
* New 3rd-party decals
* New color scheme
* DIY PE hood grill & side vents
* PE wheel pins, brake discs & windshield wiper
* Baremetal
I picked this from my friend’s house. He accidently set his room on fire by candles (cuz in Indonesia, when heavy rain strikes they will shut down the electricity :)). He fell asleep on the living room. thank god he’s alive. he gave all of his kits to me including this one and i don’t know why all the manuals and the decal sheets are ripped apart.…[Read more]

Built myself a Mecha chocobo ride for my Frame arms girls :D, I bought the Frame arms second Jive kit but never liked the kits transformation and its final look so I reused the kit and made this instead.
That gun looks wicked intense! I didn’t know that you still needed glue for Frame Arms! Glad to know. Great work and keep it up!
No need for glue, but I use it on everything cuz I don’t wanna re-assemble anything if they fall apart.
At least you should glue the frame. Shoulders and hips kept falling appart on my SA-16. Also the Hands.
Agreed. It says you don’t need glue, but you can’t depend on Frame Arms unglued like you can most Gunpla
