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
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]
i have the wing zero, epyon and all endless waltz hg 1/100 from the 90’s as well! also all the non-grade 1/144 of gundam wing. the hg 1/100 are a lot better than their crappy 1/144 counterparts… so much that i bought the updated hgac wing and wing zero and because i don’t think they’ll never be updated as model kits, the robot damashii…[Read more]
i’m thinking of making dioramas out of my crappy 1/144s, probably the permanent glued together type. will remake the wing zero vs d-hell scene in space and the wing gundam self-destruct. not sure what to do with the altron.
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]
thank you! you’ve been such a helpful guy since I started posting, ill be sure to see what I can do and continue to make improvements along the way 😀
Watched HobbyLinkTV gunpla on Youtube and was kind of inspired. This is my first Gundam in Years and noticed they changed it to Gunpla…here is the first 1/144 I have ever done.
Finished the head, torso and arms of the MG OO Raiser. And the box still isn’t getting any lighter 😀
Wondering myself when I get to finish it. Hihihi
I like the anime but don’t fancy the suit designs…. After seeing the progress on your MG makes me wish I’ve ordered one when they where in stock! It looks amazing! Please keep us updated!
I’m stealing this idea! Haha I’m working on the MG 00 Qan[t] right now and modding leds all over. I was going to get the Destiny and do the same with that next but this makes me want to get the Fenice next!
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! 😀
The next badge. Still a GM RX-78-2 2.0(Every Gundam collection needs the grand daddy IMO) and the MG Aile Strike R.M. in private warehouse at HLJ. Damn those restocks LOL. Thanks to HLJ for creating me a backlog 😀
Oh, and why not the Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode? Going to do ‘Mechie Plating’ myself. With the FBM there are a lot of parts that need to be plated anyways and this way I don’t have to strip the Bandai plated parts….
@tehbanshee13, well, that’s rather simple. First a gloss black enamel in preparation for the Alclad chrome. Then a mix of 85% clear yellow with 15% orange. Used it in the past for the yellow parts on my MG Destiny and MG Nu Ver.Ka. (on the latter it was hand painted, didn’t have an airbrush at the time). The only tricky thing is not to spray too…[Read more]
thanks but i had the idea of what u meant i meant was i was curious to see if u were using that metal powder stuff for the strike freedom because that would be even nicer lol 🙂 but happy building
