    I was looking for gundam x maoh and came across this. Anyone know where to find it http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T-tx2RXi6Hw/U0dGw9aiW6I/AAAAAAAA8jk/aiO8h32HHuY/s1600/Bk12itSCAAATXiQ.jpg+large.jpg

    • I am looking for the beam effect

    • Judging by the stand, which looked like an SH Figuarts stand, I did some light digging and I think it is SH Monsterarts Moguera. Which is quite ingenious as they both have a chest beam cannon. Good luck locating one.

      • Thanks for the quick and accurate reply. Im gonna be buying some stuff just for effect parts

    Hi, my name is Wil. I’ve seen a lot of the pictures here of custom Gunpla. I was hoping somebody could help direct me to someone who takes commissions, I love gundam but I suck at kit modeling and kitbashing is beyond my league. I respect the amount of time that goes into these builds. I was hoping someone would know anybody who takes commissions,…[Read more]

    • I would be more than happy to do commission work. What kind of kit were you thinking? Do you know what grade of kit you are thinking of? Lemme know what you are looking for and ill let you know if i can do it. I live on the east coast of the US so shipping won’t be a huge price tag. Take a look at my work and lemme know if you are still interested.

    • What are you looking for in a custom job? Being more descriptive on what you want will better help to find someone that can do the work.

      Are you looking for someone to just build the kit, paint it standard colors, decals, etc?
      Are you looking for someone to build the kit and do a custom color paint job?
      Are you looking for someone to do a…[Read more]

    If you put a flat coat on a gloss coat will the result be different than just using a flat coat?

    • not really. it would be very difficult to tell the difference, assuming the application was the same. I use flat on top of gloss all the time and the results look fine to me

    • yeah don’t think it’s noticeable at all and infact if you’re going for a flat finish it’s the recommended way….well technically. Normally you’d put down a gloss, then do the stickers and decals and such then flat, so that would be flat over gloss.

    Hi everyone, I’m looking at buying top coats for my MG destiny painted build… And I’m looking for both gloss clear and flat clear, tamiya spray paint. I’ve found flat clear, but however I can’t find a tamiya gloss clear I can just find pearl clear… Can anyone tell me if pearl is the same as gloss or different and where I can find gloss would…[Read more]

    • Pearl and gloss are completely different finishes. Gloss will leave it shiny, while pearl will have a glittery effect. It is up to you if that is the finish you are looking for. As far as where to locate it, best bet would be online and see if they can ship to your area.

    I’m new to Gunpla. Syd and Ryan are responsible for introducing me to the hobby, so I thought this would be a good place to ask my question about water slide decals.

    I just picked up the Epyon Endless Waltz Gundam, and it came with dry transfers and water slide decals.

    While building the kit, I attach the decals, as to make it easier for…[Read more]

    • i have heard of people using microsol but i recomend using tamiya marker softener tamiya is mainly one of the best companys for models plus for ur decals the process is this even if ur not painting just skip the process
      build
      prime
      paint
      glosscoat with mr color, tamiya, gloss coat whichever u preferr
      panel line
      decal
      softener on decal
      then flat coat it

    • Hmmm. Okay your problem is that the MG Epyon doesn’t have water decals. It has decals, foils and dry transfers. Dry transfers, you just cut out the one you want, tape it onto where you want it, and rub and then remove when you have everything rubbed. Like using carbon paper. That blue sheet is to protect the decal from coming off the plastic when…[Read more]

    • the Epyon kit should not have waterslides included, as Bandai just started putting waterslides in MG kits last year, and only a handful of kits have them right now. Water slides will not have a clear plastic like sheet that they’re attached to, they will be one cohesive decal on a paper backing.

      Dry transfers can look good, but they’re not the…[Read more]

    • Doh! As you can see, I wasn’t kidding about being new to the hobby. Thank you for the help!

    One more thing, I need to know how to make buildings for a diorama, im using a 1/144 and the psyco gundam, I want to make it so the psyco is reaching over a building trying to grab the 1/144, I’ve tried looking on YouTube but I’m not finding anything

    • basically get a board wooden is preferred for me then take some plastruct which is the plastic wielding stuff if u dont know wht it is and make a rectangular prism add details paint it up and thus thats ur building then if u want the the ground to look nice spray it over with the base color add some plastics if u want stuff like broken boxes etc…[Read more]

    Hello everyone, I have a few questions, first I would like to get into doing reviews, can someone point me in the direction of a mid level to high level camera that’s not too crazy in price. Second how to set up a booth to do the recordings, like should I have anything on in the room or turn them off so I don’t get a feed back sound. And finaly I…[Read more]

    • where do u live in the us if u are in the east coast i can def help

      • PHX AZ lol

        • oh then i cant help u u can try buying stuff from online like amazon or buy an airbrush and get the stuff from gundam planet gundam planet and hlj are good sites if ur buying lots of stuff cuz shipping is good with them its pretty cheap

          • I get all my kits from hlj. But paints are just hard to find local ya know? Gundam planet sells paints? Airbrush is again above my skill lol I can build kits no problem it’s the making them look good that I’m still new at lol. I can panel wash and line, put on stickers, but ruin water and dry decals lol

    does anyone know how to make the psycho frame effect parts in to like the prism kinda look to it esp on the nu gundam fin funnels like this
    • I don’t know who built this but it looks freakin sick!

    • its the 9000dollar gundam look it up just type in google 9000dollar gundam

    • Hmmmmm… ::opens up the nu ver ka box from the unopened backlog:: looking at the fin funnel parts i can tell that it was a sticker or something else that was inset into the surface of the plastic. There are recesses there so its just a matter of finding a suitable material (rainbow shiny plastic), cutting out the parts and likely gluing them in…[Read more]

    • Just buy some aurora stickers. Then make some templates of the crevasses. This is like making a custom gasket for lets say an intake manifold on an engine, except using a gasket sheet, use some normal paper. Lay the paper over the inside of the fin funnels. Then a blunt but straight object like a very dull knife and gently scratch along the edges…[Read more]

    • Nice mod, and good advices again from @teetee580. Am finding so much mod on this kit I think am good for the next couple of months as I prefer to concentrate on one kit at a time.

    • That’s still “cheap”, the most expensive gundam are the ones made of metal and precious stones of the PG Astray-$47,000!!Who would buy this?

    • The same freaks that buy gold plated cell phones.

    • thats wht i was thinking but ive been wondering if there was another way of going around that

    • and that’s cheap compared to the “platinum Fix Figuration RX-78-2 ver. KA” you can’t buy it but it has $250,000 worth of platinum and a diamond for it’s eyes, but back in 2007 it seems his price tage was comparable to that PG, only he’s about the size of an HG

    Hi everyone!I want to put LEDs for the psychoframe of my Nu ver.Ka. I’ve come across those pic where a lot of SMDs are arranged in series or so it seems. Anyone know how to reproduce that?
    • To be honest, I wouldn’t do it like that. I reminds me of K.I.T.T. of the Night Rider series. And it doesn’t look like the builder use LED strips when seeing the angle of the LED’s in the arm. To me it looks like he drilled small holes to put them in.
      If I where going to light up the psycho frame of the Nu, I would use the pegs which connects the…[Read more]

    • Thanks for your comment. I really needed the insight of an experienced builder. I completely agree with you on the aesthetics and yeah it would be much simple. I was already having headaches thinking about all the SMDs I would have had to put together. I was thinking about neon Optic Fiber, but I knew I would face problem due to the “Zig-Zag” of…[Read more]

    • I was also thinking about a so called hot spot. Had that problem with the PG Red Frame, the LED provided by Bandai is right behind the “eyes”. And the LED in the PG is of course not as wide as the clear part for the eyes.
      Because of the pegs on the clear green part for the psycho frame on the Nu are a few millimeters long my guess is that the hot…[Read more]

    • Im in the panning stages for something along the lines of “lighting up” the psycho frame on the nu. ive done a little bit of testing and have gotten the best results using something similar to what @teetee580 mentioned with backlighting the pegs. The only difference is i plan on mounting the LEDs long the edge of the frame part (perpendicular to…[Read more]

    • What kind of wires are you using??I will be using polyurethane covered copper hair like thin wires. A tiny hole will be enough to thread all the wires. I don’t think it will brick my kit! It will be such a shame to do that to this kit!!
      Do post pics!Am putting 23 LEDs on the MG Sinanju. If it doesn’t become a brick kit then am good to go on this…[Read more]

    • Will be checking for updates!As for bricking my kit,I don’t think so-am gonna use PE coated copper coil wires that are thin as hair! So a tiny hole will do for all the wires to go through and it will cause less interference with articulation!

    • @Hellvin, maybe something you already know, but even if you are using a very small wire, it could hinder the movement of the Nu if the wires are too short. For e.g. the arms, measure the length of the wire you need to use in a bent position. If you should measure in a straight position, it will come out too short, thus hindering the…[Read more]

    • @teetee580, yep I know, but still thanks for telling me just to make sure, there may me obvious things am not aware of.
