My grandmother was like a second mother to me. I literally saw her more than my own mother who had to work. So when she passed away it was tough. I understand. I am sure you will do her memory proud. I am rooting for you.
SURPRISE! im back…and none of you will probably actually know me…well whatever ive been planning and thinking of what to do next and once everything is here I cant wait to show you what I have planned as the successor to my Gundam Crystal-Self though I will mention it does involve the Gundam Barbatos so stay tuned 😉
FINALLY! the Gundams have arrived! the first one shown is my own personal, custom painted kitbash of the Try Burning Gundam, G-Self, and the Transient Gundam: The Gundam…
It’s a good start for a first time. Always remember, you have nowhere to go but up, so make sure you plan out something even more challenging for your next go, or take some time to practice your painting, part clean up, etc by building some kits without any alterations or kitbashing, and try your hand at making dioramas. There is so much to learn…[Read more]
ok, so the gundam crystal-self isn’t posted yet, but that’s because I have to paint 2 purple pieces that are part of the torso but aside from that its done but I’ve been watch…
ok update time, so…I come back from Georgia only to find out my order was postponed to today so no big deal but then they call later today…and apparently its been…
well, kind of an unfortunate but kinda good update! I went down to my local hobbytown and though they had one in stock at their warehouse they didn’t have one in the store but the transient gundam isn’t supposed to come until a day in which ill be visiting my aunt so im going to have to wait a while to finish the kitbash D: . but on the other hand…[Read more]
Alrighty! time for an update! I now have both the G-self and Try Burning ready for the kitbash but before that…POSES! with the G-self’s headless body and my Amazing Exia!…
Don’t paint until you have everything. When it comes to kit bashing, you’ll generally have to do some modding to parts to make them work, so it’s better to paint when you know everything will work together.
The most fun about kit bashing, is making everything look more fitting to you. if you like the stock look of the parts, that’s awesome, but…[Read more]
haven’t really gotten a lot of physical progress done but im getting kits for my FIRST Gunpla kitbash, consisting of the G-self, Try Burning Gundam, and Transient Gundam. For…
Do be aware that the arms of the Transient and try burning are rather different. the Tranisent’s arms are a peg and socket type, and the build/try burning are a ball joint type(the ball is art of the shoulder piece of the try burning, and the peg is part of the body on the transient). You’ll have quite a bit of work ahead of you in modifying those…[Read more]
Actually, I have looked into what gunpla to use as well as their instruction manuals to give myself a good challenge but not an impossible challenge and ive figured that I can just take away the ball socket-to-peg parts to insert the try burnings arms where the pegs get connected, via the Try Burning’s shoulder ball joints. however I don’t kno…[Read more]
The ball sockets on the try burning are the same as those on the build burning, so you should be fine with the shoulders fitting the transients ball sockets. I have both the transient and build burning kits, so the big problem you’ll encounter is that you will lose part of the transient’s chest when doing this, as it connects to the ball socket,…[Read more]
ok, though the latter option seems a bit crazy as im just starting out on kitbashing so ill do the first option first and later once im more experienced with kitbashing I may do the second option. thank you for the tip! 😀
