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
If you press down on the marker on the panel line and hold it down, the ink should come flowing out and into the panel lines. This way you don’t have to clean up so much excess ink and get the ink in the panel lines instead only on the sides. I also found in the past that the tips of the “fine” Gundam markers are too thick.
And lucky you, building…[Read more]
I use the same method as @teetee580 mentioned. It works quite well but if you press too hard then you can end up fraying the tip of the marker significantly. Nothing that a few chops of an exactoknife would fix, though.
probably because your tip is no longer fine. you’ve either pressed down on it too hard or introduced it to lots of cleaning agent. It’s now a brush and works well as a brush for wider areas. You can use your blade to shave the tip off and just use the ball if you want.
Apparently, your gunpla backlog gets prrretty bad when you keep buying stuff but don’t build anything for close to a decade, haha. After helping out my cousins and niece build…
Sooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got the payment request for the PG Unicorn and LED set! Payed right away and got it in my Private Warehouse a minute later!
Had it send out A.S.A.P. All bills payed, now waiting for my early Christmas present to come in. Thanks to the great folks at HLJ for the fast replies and early “In Stock”…[Read more]
Mines has been shipped so it says several hours ago. May I ask, are you in the US? If so, have you ordered from HLJ before? FedEx shipping says 2 to 5 days, I’m curious ad to how accurate that is. Congrats though! Can’t wait to find a beast being delivered to my home!
Congrats to you too! I hope you’ll enjoy it. Unfortunately I don’t live in the US, but in the Netherlands, so can’t say how accurate the shipping estimations are for you. However, this is my 5th order from HLJ, and for me the estimations are rather accurate. Not in two days, but mostly in 4 days. But you’ll get a tracking code via your mail, it…[Read more]
You’re welcome! Yeah, HLJ does a great job!!! Hope you get the money for the FA soon, guessing it’ll be sold out soon. Wish you all the luck with it. And of course, hope you’ll enjoy your build.
I just set mine up to ship, though I shipped the Unicorn and LEDs separately to try avoid NZ customs. The minimum price for customs fees to incur varies between NZD $300 and $400 so often it’s hard to know if anything will make it through…
it must be nice you two to have money for Gunpla as I ended up having to cancel my order because I had zero money to even pay for my PG Unicorn which really doesn’t amuse me at all
I’m very sorry to hear that. I hope things turn out for the better. It wasn’t my intention to offend you or anyone else. Hope you don’t hold a grudge against us. And if it makes you feel better, I worked my #ss off to get the extra money……. I sincerely hope you’ll be able to order one from the next batch and have a nice holiday despite your setback
Im not sure what it all came to , i never add it all up because inwould scare myself with what my hobby costs me 😉 As for PG unicorn i expect to get an email at some point today telling me that its arrived in my private wharehouse , together with the LED’s 🙂
It took a while to come this far but for now he presents himself like Bandai has created him in all his glory: The Strike, Version Member of Nudist Beach.
My first car kit that I completed. Tamiya Honda Jazz/Fit. 🙂 I left the ‘defects’ there as a reminder how bad I am and was also scared that I might make it even worse 😀
This is an SD Phenex that I had completed some time ago. Really like how it turns out 🙂 Did not really like the plastic gold, so, I repaint it ->Ueno Black -> Star Bright Silver -> Clear Gold. 😀
I coloured the blue clear parts with a Neon Sharpie and then use Black light before taking the picture:) If you noticed, I actually miss the chest piece and that one looks ‘normal’. Thanks for the suggestion, which MrColour gold paint would that be? From which series? 🙂

You might want to try finding some Copic inking pens. They have much finer tips than the Gundam brand pens.
