Started this project last month haven’t have time to finish due to no cash and busy schedule I do plan on finishing it up and painting all the detail before I start school next year. View
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.
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 🙂
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…
Some experimenting with sharpie and chrome paint got me the effect that i was looking for. This is turning out do be an interesting build with lots of super tiny parts.
After a lot of setbacks on the MG Destiny, I decided to take some time off on it and started working on the MG Hi-Nu. The frame is done in Alclad Gun Metal. The white and…
Hi @Nick, yes, it’s the Ver.Ka. On other kits you’ve seen, I think the waterslides don’t show that good is because they aren’t painted. The purple doesn’t deviate much from the purple that’s on the kit, but as you may have seen on some photo’s, that turns out really blue, maybe that’s the reason the waterslides don’t show that well on an unpainted kit.
Well, I haven’t posted any updates for a good 5 months now so I’ll just make a mega update of what I’ve been doing up until now :D.
In total I made 8 kits, the HG G-Self, RG…
It’s not working for me either I can post comments but not pictures I’m trying to put pics of my hi nu ver ka I just finished but its not working I can’t add picture in any group

Turning out really nice! Good luck in organizing all the runners. LOL
Very nice and shiny. It should stand out nicely next to the reds.

@TheDeadComet, what a great idea! Do you mind if I use your idea?
