Gonna try to finish HG Aegis tonight so I can top coat tomorrow. Then will piece together the Blitz now that it’s finally dried. Hopefully tomorrow is nice and dry and I can consider testing some paint for one of my other kits. View
its been a while since I built anything so I built this bad boy in the last couple of days , it has real presence when completed and goes together differently from anything else ive built before. Great HG kit , recommended if you want something a little different. ORX-005 Gaplant TR5 Hrairoo.
I want to cut this part in two in the area depicted in the picture below. But what I’m worried about is that when I do cut it in two will they still stay in place even when I move them around to pose my HGAC 1/144 Wing Gundam
not quite sure I completely understand the question, but if you’re asking if those skirt pieces will fall off the kit when you try posing then no it should be fine, the ball segments should hold it in place just fine still. If you’re asking will they flop around more then that is a possibility which can be fixed by letting a thin layer of glue…[Read more]
I believe standard practice is super glue since it’s thin and dries pretty fast, but in theory any glue should work. all you’re trying to do is add just a bit of thickness to create extra pressure which in turn means more resistance to movement, don’t overdo it though or it won’t be able to move at all or worse yet won’t even fit.
Hey after I thought about cutting the front skirt in two. I went ahead and cut it in two and to my surprise the two halves stayed in place once I put them back on the Gundam
It depends on the kit. For the most part, you should be fine, but with several kits, this will work against you. For example, the Age 3 normal(not sure it it applies to orbital and fortress), cutting that part will cause them to continuously fall out, and not thickening of the part will fix it. The sockets they sit in are shallow, and have large…[Read more]
ok i decaled my hi nu painted it up gloss coated it and then finally i flat coated it and then all of a sudden it started frosting the entire model the decal on the head is completely gone thank god i only painted up the head piece with it help pls im so mad
Did you allow the gloss coat to completely cure before putting on the flat coat? What kind of gloss and flat did you use (laquer, acrylic?) Did you spray outside in the cold?
I had the same problem with my MG Destiny. The flat coat was the worst of the two. It even happened with the gloss acrylic from Tamiya.
I did some searching on the web back then.
For the gloss it’s advised to spray two fogged layers and one final all covering one with a minimum of twelve minutes between coats. But it didn’t work for me. I sprayed…[Read more]
well what happend was i used the tamiya and it frosted up the entire head i used future for gloss coat and that didnt do any dmg but the tamiya destroyed my kit can i ask what kind of flat coat do u use i was thinking maybe i should use modelmaster but better safe than sorry i suppose
In threw the Tamiya in the trash and ordered Alclad II Klear Kote Matte. Didn’t had any trouble with it so far, but only used it ones on a model plane a few weeks back. But keep in mind, this is an enamel based clear, regardless of what the brand name implies.
There are some people that state that the Tamiya matte (X-21 if I recall correctly) is…[Read more]
well from what i read it said on pledge future it is acrylic so dik but about the flat coat is that flat coat the same one u used on ur hi nu also and did u just lightly spray it or how so
mind if I share what I did with my MG Nu Gundam, after painting, I used flat coat first for paint protection. And thats the only thing that I flat coat it. Then panel lining then seal with clear coat (not gloss coat), then decals(water) seal with clear coat then all the way clear coat and it still look flat and I’m satisfied. Also, don’t paint…[Read more]
Last model for 2014. HGUC Full Armor Unicorn with Hyper beam javelin. I have been wanting to build this kit since it came out in April but kept getting distracted by other…
@sid what would you suggest for me to do to make my Sinanju even better looking? Also what are your thoughts /suggestons on what I should build next and which model grade should I work on?
You have all the reasons to be proud. You did an excellent job on the kit, even on the stickers! An y idea of what your next build will be? Can imagine that not a lot of suits will be of interest after building such a beautiful kit
Thanks! I kinda want to make another Sinanju haha. I would like to customize one. Not sure how yet tho. My next will be a blue frame astray and hopefully a unicorn after that.
My first MG. I have had it for a while but I just now decided to finish it up. Home for 3 days and sick. Assembly is complete. Going to eventually go back and paint and apply…
Thanks a lot. Will do. I think I am going to build a few more before i get into pain. Maybe get something a little easier to experiment on like an Rx-178 or a Zaku. I really want the Aile Strike and Strike Rouge as well too.

Lol, I’m sorry I have no idea about what is available in SA at the moment, even though I was home for a couple weeks a few months ago. You could try the Q/A group, they might know.
Yup..its really a great kit. I built one of these long a go but only panel line it.. maybe I’ll come to do repaint on this great kit
