As the Fin-Funnels are still “under construction” I decided to post pictures of the completed MG Hi-Nu Ver.Ka here. Hope you guys and girls don’t mind me doing so. Had issues…
guys Q:soo i buy a plane plamo my 1st time,since it’s all black (the color, f-14a razgriz) & there’s lots water decals..
is it ok to use top coat & then flat coat? or just flat coat is enough?
i never do coating on gunpla before.soo kinda scare
I just use flat coat directly..but do first coat lightly first or the decals might deform if you spray first time too hard…do a thin coat first..gloss coat if u paint the kit and want to do panel wash and waterslides first.
Looks great! It’s near the top of my must build list for sure.
I cut pieces of old runners into hook shapes and use them to hang runners of the kit I’m working on near me. Saves space and allows easy viewing of the runners while you build.
I usually look through the manual to find out which runners I need for the specific part then I only took those out of the pile.
I have to try your method sometimes, maybe on a smaller kit since this MG has A LOT of runners. I don’t feel like filling my room walls with runners lol
Go for it. Works for me. I’l twist up a long piece of masking tape or use a string and pin the ends somewhere and just hang them on it. Doesn’t take much space. Ends up kinda like shirts hanging in a closet.
The Hi-Nu itself is almost completed. Now working on the Fin-Funnels, getting rid of those awful gaps that where used on the Nu Gundam for placing them on the backpack on to…
while the reissue thing might be true for most PG’s, it’s not allways true, look at the red frame PG that thing sells like pankakes and it’s reissued several times per year, I think it will be the same for the unicorn.
Haha @Jaberwak. Should we call this the Big White Wallet Destroyer? In my opinion, which isn’t worth a damn for that matter, there will be a reissue soon after the first batch is sold out. Even being a PG. People all over the world anticipated it for so long. And after a few days it had a order stop on HLJ, but a week later it was up for pre-order…[Read more]
What I think happened was When Bandai gave the go ahead for preorders, they were trying to get an estimate on approximately how well it would sell. In retail, it is better to underestimate demand than to over estimate. So when Bandai received word that preorders were selling out, they allowed more orders to become available.
It is also used to remove seam lines on canopies on aircraft building. There are two compounds, one rough, the other a fine one. Apply the rough one on a clean soft cotton cloth. Use in twisting motions on the to be polished surface. After a few minutes, clean of the excess. Then apply the fine compound on an other clean cloth. Do the same as with…[Read more]
Hmmm I see. Thanks for the info. I bought the wing one then. The Tamiya Polish compound finish. I’ll have to buy the course and fine compound with the clothes as well.
A birthday present from my girlfriend. She said she got me a gunpla, but never said which one. I’m surprised. My Nu Ver. Ka won’t be lonely anymore ๐
Lol. She is not into building them but she’s really likes looking at the mechanics. She was blown away by the Nu Ver Ka and 3.0. I have been mentioning about Sazabi for a long while but never gave it a go since it’s kinda expensive ๐
All three are put together and looking good in one of my cabinets . Decals are going to have to wait now though , at least for hi-nu ,thanks to my youngest son spilling his…
samuel decals they may be able to help u out with a brand new sheet of decals i highy doubt bandai will make a new set but if u ask samuel decals to make u a replicated sheet they may be able to help plus their decals are actually pretty good so its not a bad idea to do that
Tough luck there, I agree with @thebanshee13 Samuel decals would be a good idea. Even if they haven’t made a Hi-Nu Ver.Ka sheet I think that a regular Nu ver.Ka or old Hi-Nu would work well.
November is the month for completing my big three MG ver Ka’s before PG unicorn next month. They will all be straight builds with lining and decals and just a bit of detailing…
While i love gundams i feel like branching out a little. Been growing up with Macross and i’ve just finished watching Macross Frontier. Saw on HLJ the kits vf-27 beta lucifer and ozmas custom vf-25 with super parts (1/72) and i wonder which one would you guys prefer? I can’t decide hehe ๐
Hi, welcome to the group!
you wont be dissapointed, macross kits are awesome and very diferent from gundams (wich are awesome too)
My very first kit, the one that got me into this awesome hobby was the VF-27 lucifer, I didnยดt liked the pink accents on it so I panted it flat black and black metal (gun metal) and even if it was my very first kit I…[Read more]
