@Ryan and @Syd
Just finished the latest episode and was psyched you read my comment! Ask and you shall receive. I did these guys while the wife was away for the weekend and gave them to her for her desk at work when she got back. I scribed in the glasses and used some tamiya putty for texture on the beard. The ponytail is my actual hair.

As surprised as I am with the HG Revive Freedom, as disappointed I am with the Amazing Red Warrior… Glad I held out on that one.
Thanks guys, now we’re never gonna figure out what was in that box!!!!!!!

Ryan, i always curious about your ma.k collection. Can you show me (or us) your finished ma.k kits? And one more. Are they expensive? Excuse my broken english. Thank you very much.
Question on water slides: why are they so difficult to get? HLJ is not the only place on the web that sells them but everywhere is the same: huge and permanent out of stocks. So Syd and Ryan do you know why those water slides are so hard to get world wide? I hate the stickers, even the latest “RG style” ones and I never start a kit if I don…[Read more]

I’am placing this Pixel camo decals to my MG Zaku 2 and went well. For a beginner like me and without experience in customizing with paint then this decals is good for me.
Hey. A friend introduced me to Gunpla and I recently acquired seven models all HG. They include Banshee Gundam, Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode, SD Lightning Gundam, Hi-Nu Vrabe Gundam, Zaku Amazing, Kampfer Amazing, Seven Swords /G (I think this is what it is called if it isn’t please let me know). Got tips or any comment free to share me. Thanks senpai!
Get yourself a good pair of side cutters and a design knife and enjoy yourself. Building Gundams is a lot of fun and you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment with each kit you finish.
and if you don’t want to paint your kits, a nice spray of matte top coat works wonders in making the kits less toy like. just make sure you shake the can well.
to add to Syd’s comment on feeling of accomplishment. for me since I like to watch the anime aswell,. I love posing the finished products in their iconic posses.
I second the recommendation for a good matte top coat, if the kit already comes with a healthy amount of decals (detail stickers) it really helps “seals them in” so to speak which looks way better as well.
