Looking at the polycap designs I think that the Age-2’s waist should work with the victory. If it doesn’t fit you can cut down the waist peg to fit the victory’s chest polycap on.
The fore arms would be very difficult to attach to the Age-2s upper arms unfortunately as they have very different connections.

mg freedoms a prettty good choice in my opinion cant go wrong with it its pretty cheap. or you could pick up wing gundam proto zero i think that was pretty good it wasnt hard to build either

The more recent SEED mgs like the duel, buster, blitz and strike RM are all very good kits in terms of both cost and quality.

Just search on YouTube….
There are so many tutorials to find for someone who wants to search…
Mokanaman there has some MrHobby and Tamiya hand painting guides.
Greenday0050 has a big tutorial on pre shading. Done with a airbrush, but can also be done with a hand brush if you follow Mokanaman’s advise on how to hand brush

well they’re different formulas ofcourse but beyond that not too much , Mr Color does however also have a UV Cut line which is supposed to protect your paints from UV exposure and thus preserve the color longer, I like using that stuff but can’t really tell you if the UV Cut thing actually works but it makes me feel better.

You can use both enamel and acrylic from Tamiya. The color is up to you of course.
The difference is that acrylic tends to dry quicker than enamel.

I guess nobody knows… But you can use white spirits or lighter fluid for diluting enamels. Much cheaper and easier to come by. There is even a tutorial by TheGhostofZeon on YouTube on how to

First apply a gloss clear coat on the paint job. A gloss is smoother for better flowing panel lines and more dense and harder making it safer to remove excess paint from the panel lining.
I can’t stress this enough: don not use a water based acrylic for this like Vallejo or Model Master.
Best to use a alcohol based one like Tamiya or Mr Color.…[Read more]

Thanks man, this will really help me alot!!!

You start off with drawing the design of the weapon that you want to make or draw a basic design of how you want the customized weapon to look like and then from there, break everything up into simple shapes. For example for a bazooka, a large round tube and some pla plate for details and for creating parts such as the handle, the attachment…[Read more]

The problem is the thinner you’re using to wash off the excess is too strong. Probably also too strong for thinning the enamel paint. Then when you are applying the wash this may start to dissolve the clear coat already…. Then by using the thinner to wash the excess you’re taking away all clear coat that wasn’t dissolved and also the paint. Real…[Read more]

Are you using an Acrylic gloss?

Also, don’t use a semi gloss if you’re going to do panel washing, use a full gloss. You want that top coat to be as smooth as possible to let the wash flow quicker and more freely. this will also aid in the clean up. I would also suggest that you give the top coat time to cure. While you only need to wait for it…[Read more]

A small piece of blu-tac normally does the job and is easy to undo

or topcoating it or painting it can also

silver leaf should do the trick thats wht i did

And apply 2 coats of clear gloss on a metallic paint

Krylon makes a spray paint that should work really well(I use it myself). It’s their Premium original Chrome. They make other paints like it as well(brass, silver, gold, etc), all made to resemble metal when totally dry. They come in these skinny cans, and normally cost a bit more then normal spray paint(in terms of volume), but they’re worth it…[Read more]

from my experience the response time is usually quite fast, although i have never done a parts order. Not sure if that makes a difference though. Toss an email out there to confirm if the order was received.

It’s normal. It’s cased by the fact that the harder plastic pieces your “sliding” onto the internal pipe are molded on top of a softer plastic(or the softer plastic is molded into the Harder plastic. I don’t work for bandai, so i have no clue which way they do it). Though the two wont bond to each other, if you look at the space where the harder…[Read more]
