personally i think spray painting is better becasue its faster and doesnt take as long plus if your a noob at hand painting you can really see the brush strokes on the gundam and thats no good to me in my opinion

Hi @Nene. In episode 12 of GunplaTV Syd shows the basic techniques of spray painting. Maybe this will come in handy

plaster thats wht i used for mine then for the craters and stuff i used a toothpick to push it up and make the holes

My only problem I had was keeping track of all those pieces. Oh and be careful around the wrist armor. My Sazabi took a shelf dive and cracked the piece in half. Luckly it’s on the inside and still stays on. The hands can be a little finicky too. It feels like mine don’t like to stay connected to the arm firmly.

how much for the sazabi and where???????????
i bought two sazabis and there are no problems to it with mine except for the hands i guess painting it though if you want to stick to the original scheme is tricky if you dont have the right colors at ur hobby shop but other than that its a pretty damm good worth kit id build sazabi ten times over if i want to

i build mine with no real issues to report. the hands not feeling like they are in place is something that Syd talked about on gunplaTV and as long as you seat the polycap in the wrist properly the connection is very solid. I did and hand paint color swap and there were not many difficult parts of the build. are you planning on painting it? i…[Read more]

Last year HLJ had a HUGE sale on all gundam kits for Black Friday so they may do something similar this year.

Yeah HLJ probably had the biggest sale from what I recall. I also remember Barnes & Noble had a pretty good coupon along with membership discount though they don’t really carry much.

I actually keep mine too, but only the lids. I sort of disassemble them so they get flat. Then I store them in a large PG box. This way I’ll have all the boxes, yet they take little room to store. Oh, and I throw the bottom sections out

So far kept all of my HGUC and RG boxes fully 3D as it’s nice to see them all lined up in order. As for MGs I have about half of them 3D and the other half just the flattened lids like @teetee580 ‘s ones.

Have all of mine stacked in a closet, but quickly running out of space. Half the kits I build, I end up putting back in their boxes.

Some people post links to their photo’s for the time being. However, there is a post in the Completed Models section about 17 hours old. It seems that the problem has been fixed

i no samuel decals do a pretty good jobs replicating water slides for u u an try them or you can buy two sets of unicorn gundam ver ka decals water slides and prob combine it with decals from sinanju to get the fuel tank decals

While it may seem odd, a common use with gundam markers is to press the pen tip into a tray to extrude paint, and then use a brush to apply the paint. I say it seems odd cause normally you’d just think “it’s a marker filled with paint, so why use a brush?”, but if you want to get into those tight spaces, or not mess up painting small parts, you…[Read more]

Acrylics and enamels are the most common sorts of paint to hand brush on plastic models. Though acrylic is the most common these days, it has some flaws to it. The biggest is that it is not as durable and strong, but safer in use.
Enamels are really strong and almost scratch resistance. The drawback is that they take a much longer time to dry.…[Read more]

There are a few differences. First being the length. The 115 is 115mm long. The 120 is 122mm long. Then there is another difference, which is the sharpness of the blades, the lather is the sharpest of the two. It’s ranked a 5 in sharpness. It even has a stop at the bottom of the swivel point so the blades don’t make contact. And lastly, the first…[Read more]

I always think of the GM as white like it was in the anime. Even though if I look back at the promo images and line arts it’s mint green, I always think of it as white like the gundam.

It’s Off white and Red. Basically, you want a VERY light ghost grey, and a orangish red. Those are your main colors. Just make sure that your ghost grey has the appearance of neither white nor grey.

well everything on a machine is of some importance unless it’s completely cosmetic so it’s kinda like saying “if the head gets chopped off then what?” anyways those are power cables. and if they get cut then whatever they’re powering either shuts down or has lowered responsiveness if there’s an alternate power feed aswell.

Thank u for remind me that it’s all sci-fi, I was about to go insane. But even sci-fi has some kind of explanation of “Why of things”. But anyways thanks Steve for the info and no that wasn’t sarcastic. Exia had external cables???

The vast majority of the technology in UC timeline of Gundam is based on real world tech and principles. The space colonies are actually Modeled after the O’Neill Island 3 concept that was purposed back in the early 70’s(but thanks to the cold war, was shot down. Also, do some research into Gerard K. O’Neill. He’s a brilliant scientist who’s…[Read more]
