Well, I have the display base together. However the V-Fin broke for a 3rd time while I was putting it together. I’ve held it in place for the last 30min waiting for the cement to dry enough so that it can support itself. I’ve got the head on a clip at a crazy angle. But it’s drying. I’ll put some touch up paint on it once its fully dried. And…[Read more]
I still have to attach the actual head to the base. I might wait til Sunday to actually do that. Give the cement enough time to harden so the sudden jar won’t break it again.
Well, the V-Fin is pretty solid. It’ll hold since the base itself won’t be moving or transforming. I’m going to add some touch up paint here in a few mins, I’ll try to get some pics up of it tonight.
I’m also going to clean up my work area and gear up for the next project. The Kampfer Amazing.
I think it was a the stress of being cut out of the runner. If you’ve put one of these together, the V-Fin can rotate and open up, it was the pivot joint that broke off. So the stress of that moving caused it to break the 2nd time. Then me fumbling around with it trying to get it all together broke it the 3rd time.
Holy crap, so pretty much just paint put together and don’t touch on those bases. Nice to know after my banshee took a shelf dive yesterday I planed on picking one up, same for the unicorn because I loved the hg banshee build itself, figure no need to buy the MG my wish list of kits on gundamplanet is at 18 right now mostly all master grade so I…[Read more]
It is clear orange over the gold. However I did add a drop or two of the clear red to darken it up a bit. It cam out as a great looking burnt orange. I really love the look of it!
You should so get a 350z model and paint it like that it would look sick. I don’t know why but that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw that part. Look great man.
I watched some reviews about them on YouTube. Judging by the size of the Amazing Binders, and what I saw on those vids. I think they’ll be just the right size. Making sure they will fit properly, that will be the challenge.
Good deal now if only these forums will stop acting funny! I found out my local hobby shop can’t get the Kamphfer or a lot of things, so I got another 2.0 Zaku otw where did you order your kampfer from? I’m looking to get it I. Fairly quick so I’m debating where to buy it
Ok hopefully they still have it come wendsday that’s also where I found the amazing binder pack. Any of you have experience with their shipping? I’m pretty nervous having anything shiped internationally
I personally have never bought anything from them. But I’d imagine that it would be similar to HLJ. I’m going to ship the weapons I want from that site.
When I 1st saw them I was. But after seeing what I’m going to order tomorrow. They seem, dull. Plus they aren’t actual cannons. They’re just fancy weapon cases.
Has to be extremely neat if your doing away with the binders, aside from the modified armor the binders really seem the center piece to the KA, I’m still in debate on what to do for added weapons mostly want the extra set of binders for the wing like look of having a set on both sides
Awesome news! You might want to reconsider the binder thing though. While they may be fancy weapons cases, there is an opening at the top of the case that allows clearance for the barrel, and the vents at the back imply that the binders can fire the rifles from that position. Since the manual makes a point to store the extra barrels inside when…[Read more]
I had considered welding them together. But I do plan on keeping a barrel inside of them. They’ll still be painted along with the other weapons, they just won’t be mounted the Kampfer. Unless I put them on the legs.
I have a question. Is it possible to do preshading with spray paint? If yes, how to do it? I have access to Tamiya TS paints if this info helpful in making your suggestions. Thanks!
Spray cans don’t give you a lot of control. Personally I find it challenging enough even to try to paint a part with spray cans without putting too much paint on and getting orange peel or drips. That said, I’m sure it’s possible, just as it’s possible to sculpt with a chainsaw.
vegeta8259 did a tutorial for how to achieve post-shading effect using real touch markers:
Personally I prefer brushing an enamel powder (tamiya weathering master, etc) on painted surfaces/bare plastic.. The effect is cooler and you have more control on how the post-shading effect will turn out.
MG Strike IWSP. This was my first MG ever, a gift from my lovely wife. 🙂
This kit was painted, weathered, and lighted. Took few months to finish with long learning curve. Putting the LED was a pain. Maybe I will make a video review on it, explaining what I’ve done to this kit. Hope you guys like it.
I’m currently building Hardygun 1/100. Very old but solid! My plan after building is to light it up with LED and do custom paint. This is going to be awesome. 😀
