Well, I finished the DX last night. The shield looked rather awkward on the arm with the panels open, so I took it off. But tell me what you guys think.
P.S. My next project will either be the Kampfer Amazing (depends on the forum)
Or the HGUC Banshee Norn + 1/48 Banshee Head Display Base
Good work on this guy. The stickers for the big panels are nicely-done, despite being stickers. The grey areas on the feet, which look painted, are a little rough, though.
Stickers? Stickers! No stickers were used in the building of this kit. Every detail you see is painted.
And if you’re referring to the great on the side of the legs, yeah I painted those. I didn’t take much care as I should have. I could have easily have masked it off, but I was lazy.
Well since I can’t post this on the forum, I have finally gotten the HG DX to stand on it’s own 2 feet. All I have to complete is the Solar Cannons. They will hopefully be finished tonight. Only sucky part is the barrel to the beam rifle has gone missing. And I have no idea where or when it did. So I guess I won’t be using that little accessory.…[Read more]
A fitting initial gift for your birthday. Looks well-done and very clean, especially the panel lining. Sad thing about the beam rifle though. Maybe it will be a scratch-build project later on, haha.
You could always find a metal barrel, or if you have a local hobby shop look for some of the brass tubing in roughly the right size and use a piece of that. Otherwise, it looks like a pretty common barrel design, you could maybe use the barrel off another gun.
Alright guys, I have serious question for those who were planning to participate in the Kampfer Amazing group build. Since the forums obviously are not back up yet, and the release of the K.A. is literally around the corner. Here is the question.
Do you all want to hold the build here, or wait til the forums are back up? It doesn’t matter to me.…[Read more]
Hmmm, can we wait until we have the list of people who wanted to participate? I remember it being a healthy list so if it turns out to be a meager list here, then we should hold off on the grounds that it won’t be fair to those who signed up initially.
On the other hand, we can set a minimum number of participants and if the list reaches that,…[Read more]
Not everyone participating in the build is here on this refuge page, my vote is wait until the forums come back up. Otherwise many may be excluded, and it would give the rest of us time to get the kit. I won’t order the kit from overseas so I’m waiting for hobbywave or GSaM to get it in.
I remember the list I had made from the forum thread. It was a pretty decent size. There were a lot of people wanting to participate. And the last thing that I want to do is leave people out of having some fun. I’ll give this post a few more days. See if anyone still checks this place out that wants to participate. But JMuss is right, I know not…[Read more]
Well, I believe I was #2 on that list, but not sure if I should join now. I also vote to wait until the forums are back up and running again. If it takes them THAT long to fix the forums then we are in some serious trouble. However, if the forums is not up by the 15th, then I think we should just consider doing it here. If it takes them that long…[Read more]
Well it would seem that the general consensus is that we should wait til the forums are open again. So, let’s wait til the the 20th and see what happens. Hopefully the forums will be up by then. If not, I suppose we will have to postpone the group build til a later date when the forum is finally back up and running.
Cool, works for me. I was checking out the review pics on the kit and it has less seamlines than I expected. The weapon binders and everything inside have them, but that’s pretty much it. Sucks that we can’t work on it yet, but it means I can start on my other handpainting project, haha.
I checked out some scans of the manual, seems like a solid kit. A lot of the original HGUC Kampfer was used, just like Build Mk.II, so there will be some similarities. Plus the stickers aren’t to bad. There are a lot of them, but it shouldn’t be hard to paint.
I’m willing to wait as well, but when was a start date ever established??? I thought we weren’t supposed to start building until everyone who signed up had the K.A. in their possession?
A tentative start date of Jan. 20th was proposed earlier here after the forums went down. Its an open build so anyone could join in after that date. Since not everyone who is wanting to take part is here, it’s hard to get everyones plans.
