Jeez, that looks great!!!!
Got those hands too in 1/100 scale. On the MG Destiny they look great, tried them on the MG Wing Zero and they looked way too big.
As the Sinanju is a really big suit, the hands a just the right size in my opinion.
Bought the rounded fingers in 1/100 scale for my MG Sinanju, but the rounded ones from that line are way…[Read more]

Most Alclad paints are lacquer based. They have some enamels in their range, mostly the clear paints and they have a water based clear gloss.
They high shine paints from Alclad need a black gloss (white seems to work to, so I’ve seen that is) base coat. If this base colour is sanded and buffed before applying the main coat, the end result will be…[Read more]

Sorry, almost forgot…. Good luck with the build, looking pretty sweet!!!

That’s why I try to watch a much as reviews of a kit I am planning to build, to get to know some of it weak points, like weak joints, armor that may scratch paint off and such.
This is the first time someone gave such detailed information, exactly what I’m looking for in reviews!
So thank you very much Hellvin!!!!!!!

Don’t be sneaky playing with them young man!

LOL :’-)

On the shield and the side piece of the chest shows the shading pretty well. Specially on the latter the shading looks really natural, like it’s from the lighting!!!
Foto’s are always difficult to show subtle details…..
Hope the Gouf likes his vacation 😀

Get well soon!!! Gute Besserung!!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially the purple with the blue thrusters!!!!!

Jesus C!!!!
Has it already come to this……?
Bandai rehashing the RG line…..?
That they did it for the MG line, ok….
That’s why they came up with Build Fighters, to sell “new” kits with minimal effort in therms of making new mold and pumping out new kits, but the RG line at this point?
Guess the economy in Japan is even worse then I…[Read more]

That’s looking sweet! Hope the rest of the build will go according to plan!
Good luck!!!

Thank you very much!

Thanks! 😀

I do prime the frame before painting, using Alclad’s primer. As I dry-fit the joints, I see where a layer of paint might get too thick and sand the parts that would rub against each other. This wat moving the joints won’t scratch the paint up. I used a few primers and this is the only way to making sure there will be no paint rubbing…[Read more]

Oh, how I loved that game……..

Sweet!!!!

I like it 😉
Greetings from Holland!

Excellent weathering on the chest!!!!!!!

Great episode guys!
Very noticeable you had some time off and had a blast over in the US!!!
Except for that poor Todd, tricking him into building that always up to no good Siegfried 😉
Or should we cal him the Cesar, don’t know why 😀
Maybe a good title for a movie: Planet of the Macros LOL

No worries 😉

This is the bottle with the yellow label and the blue writing, right?
If so, this is the cellulose based thinning agent, in other words, the lacquer based thinner.
This is the wrong thinning agent. If not careful, it might melt the plastic if not careful. You where lucky so far….
Try to get a hold on the light blue/turquoise…[Read more]

As long as it isn’t melting your plastic (lacquer thinner) you should be fine regarding the thinning agent.
To be honest I need some more information.

-What color has the label of the Mr. Hobby thinning agent. Don’t you know what you bought????

-How do you remove the excess? A q-tip/cotton bud, cotton ball, tissue, moist paintbrush?

My guess is…[Read more]
