Hey everyone! So I’m sure there are plenty of places I could google search this, but I felt my question was best suited for this group. After getting excited over starting to watch Gundam Build Fighters, I finally started to build my Hy-Gogg. Though as an artist, I want to make sure that I do everything I can to make sure this one comes out nicely…[Read more]
for the most common tools you need, side cutters ( preferablly for plastic, this tool is the most used tool ) you could find a bunch of them at HLJ.com. If you are really serious in the hobby getting the best side cutters is a must (God Hand, a bit pricey but is IMO the best side cutters for plastic models ) files, which you can also find in…[Read more]
also sandpaper, you’ll want some high grit sandpaper to do the final smoothing on the parts after filing.
You also mention customizing so I’m guessing you’ll likely need some plastic cement and plaplast(sheets of plastic, Syd demonstrated it’s use a few episodes ago but I don’t remember the episode number)
I dont think its episode 135 , just a special for the kit. The kit does look good but i think the two different gold finishes spoil the overall effect especially for an out of box build . I think if the dragoons were the same yellow gold as the frame it would look better overall and be easier to paint for those that want a more sparkly finish.…[Read more]
I was just asking because the Sinanju Stein Special Edition was considered an episode, but it wasn’t numbered, so I was wondering if it’s the same case with this one.
If it wasnt a 3.5hoir drive away , id have been there like i shot. Hope i didnt miss any bargains , and hopefully you spread the gundam love to a few more people ๐
It was a fantastic show lots of very cool stuff, I’m very fortunate as I live a 30 minuet drive away. As for gundam I saw only ONE kit painted on a club stand and two boxed.
That’s not to say its a bad thing as the show is primarily about scale models and there were some beautiful pieces on display.
I was very lucky to bump into Scott nice guy it…[Read more]
I also bumped into Scott – good to see a HLJ presence, and thanks Scott for taking the time to chat!
Agree on the lack of Gunpla (must be more uk builders out there?) – though I’m hoping to show some there next year! Great show nonetheless, always some inspiring work to see.
Well I was thinking the same thing about showing some of my work next year.
Did you visit the competition entry’s room? I saw some jaw dropping truly world class models how could you judge that?
Superb stuff I may even treat my self to another visit in the morning ๐
You guys need to ship more gundam to our scepterโd isle
I’m convinced that I need to put a couple of models into the competition room for judging as they would be the only ones there.
A grate show, maybe Scott will let you & Syd attend next year.
Hope to see your there in the future. ๐
