Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to Syd, Ryan, Todd, Lindsay, Anna, Ardith, Robin and everyone else in the HLJ team that helped this episode happen.
It’s been great seeing not only the show but also the community grow over the years.
You’ve been doing great guys but now it’s the countdown to 300!
How about having the correct numbers, but not in the right order….. Hahaha
Only 100 episodes to go guys, chin up or start building for the real contest 😉
Hey, I’ve been looking to get the MG Zaku Cannon for a few years, but HLJ has had it on backorder for the past 2 years now. Has anyone built or purchased the kit recently? If so, when were you able to get it and what are your thoughts on it?
I preparing to build my first MG, the 3.0 RX-78-2. I’m thinking of getting an MG Zaku as well, for some nice combination posing. Will a 2.0 Zaku look right next to the 3.0 RX-78, or will it look weird?char x
Although they have a different style, the 3.0 Gundam and 2.0 Zaku still look together. I would advise not applying the RG style decals on the 3.0 as that does make it stand out a bit.
If anyone it interested in more comparisons from IBO Edmonton to the real Edmonton, nopybot’s blog has complied bunch of good pics. I have to give some props to Bandai and Sunrise on doing a fantastic representation of Canada, Alberta’s Capital City.
I’m looking at making a MS Girl using a Frame Arms Girl Materia and the HGUC Gelgoog Jager. This is my first attempt at a kit bash so what would I need in the way of supplies? Any advice in general for a new guy taking their first step into a bigger world? Up to this point I’ve been doing just clean OOB with detail painting, weathering, somewhat…[Read more]
Hey everyone and specially @ Syd. Here is an interesting Gundam, Iron Blooded Orphans article covered by the Edmonton Metro. (For those people who have not seen the anime up the end of the season, spoilers be warned).
I have been to the city on more that one occasion and I was mine blown at the details. Most of the fighting was on up and down the actual Jasper Ave. I used to work for company in the based in Edmonton’s downtown core and when I saw its building, was ecstatic and had goosebumps. I was like “Sunrise, Bandai, and Gundam, you have done well to…[Read more]
Another question from me ^^, been practicing a lot lately with different paints and coats. I got two questions.
1. I tried to spray with my airbrush some Future shine (pledge) just after I cleaned my airbrush with Tamiya airbrush cleaner, do you know if this product makes some small depots in the airbrush because I saw some just after I put…[Read more]
1. I haven’t used Pledge myself, but have read, seen and heard a lot about it. It reacts like the Vallejo paints and it is known that those paints and solvents don’t mix well. It is strongly recommended to NOT use lacquer thinners or such to dilute or clean Vallejo paints and thus Pledge. It will turn the driver/binder of the paint into a goo…[Read more]
Sorry, forgotten to answer another question, when applying decals, get some decal softner. There are various manufacturers selling this. You could optionally get the decal setter, this is a sort of adhesive and works great when the decals you got are old. If the decals are new, I don’t recommend using it as it makes the decals stick heavily to the…[Read more]
You’re very welcome, I’m blushing at the moment, haha.
At the moment I’m using Micro Sol and Micro Set by Microscale Industries. The Micro Sol is the one used for “melting” the decal. It’s rather weak and needs a few coats on an average decal. On thicker decals like ones from Tamiya or Bandai you might need three or four applications.
This is…[Read more]
you think that’s bad? I was 5 numbers away from the 4th place prize XD
