  • @tetsujin – Will check them out. Thanks.

    @Daniel – It wouldn’t be an apples to apples comparison, you’re right, but that doesn’t mean they can’t or shouldn’t compare. Since Hasegawa offers the VF-1 in both […]

  • Added the first coat of chrome silver. Felt better now that I know what I am doing, special thanks to @tetsujin for the insights. Hoping it would even out upon my second coat, got that right mix of enamel and thinner. 🙂

    @tetsujin Yes, they are named after existing and fictive jets because in the Muv Luv Alternative universe the planes were rendered useless so the historical development of the planes were put into TSFs with the same names of the ”normal” universe. It would be great if Syd would be on sth. because he has great ideas with MS so why not with TSFs?

    @Cthulhu , @enamelhands , @WingZeroHQ , thanks the paint is not as good as tamyia paints so i had to try different ways to even out the paint.

    @tetsujin no top coat was used, iv never used a topcoat before only after, i havent had any problems so far, i will add a gloss coat when i get some decent weather because winter is starting to set in here.

  • At last my Gundam Virsago Chest Break Custom is completed!!! Now I can get started on the contest!!!

    @tetsujin thanks for your help!

    • Interesting scheme on the Visargo. Good job! What kinds of paint you used?

      • Thanks.

        I used Tamiya Metallic gold, Tamiya Metallic black, Tamiya clear blue, Plastikote chrome silver, Humbrol clear orange and non brand metallic rust for the red claws.

        That was only a few weeks ago and i’ve forgotten a lot about it, so these are my Work In Progress video if you want more information.

        • Very interesting color scheme. Was very good in my opinion. You like very much of gundam x MS, correct?

          • Thanks. Gundam X is one of my favourite series, along with Gundam Wing and Turn A. I really like the designed from Gundam X. Hopefully they will be seeing more love from BanDai in the future.

    @johann cleveland , @tetsujin If your interested.

    • were can i find this speedy wax

      • Now I don’t know if similar items are available from hlj so I will just recommend looking online at either jewellery supply companies or sculpting/art suppliers.
        I am from the UK and got mine about 5yrs, so mot rven sure if this model is available any more. But it is made by the Du-Matt Corp. 109-111 71st St. Guttenberg, NJ. 07093
        Maybe Google it.

    @tetsujin Asemu was a cool character out of the three. Without special abilities but still one of the best pilots. They killed the best char because of him (Wolfy guy) The reason is explained in a manga or something (memories of sid; lol). But for Kio who never knew his father and then he meets him: instead of WTF Dude? Who are you?? He: You…[Read more]

    @tetsujin Attention! Captain Anus on deck!! Yeah the whole reason for the conflict was total Bulls***, the overall design/art of the charcters is childish and the pilots too young to have hairs down there but still can fight with MS…. The father of the last guy just made a like 13 year vacation without reason and then reappears to be the good…[Read more]

    • Yeah, Asemu’s 13 year departure… That is ridiculous if you look at it seriously at all. And then when he sees his wife again, she’s pretty much just cool with it. She hasn’t “moved on”, and she’s totally ready to welcome him back after thinking he was dead for 13 years… That bit always made me think that Asemu must have seriously messed…[Read more]

    @tetsujin Simple. The answer is time… or rather a lack there of. I can’t speak for everyone but for myself i travel quite a distance to and from work. I reach home at 8pm and have to deal with my kids (that’s another reason) and by the time they are asleep it’s 10pm. Do you have kids? They zap the energy out of you fast! I simply do not have the…[Read more]

    • Hey, my responses disappeared. That’s no fun.
      What bothers me most of all is this attitude of “I can’t do it and I don’t want to try.” When I make a cool model the last thing I want to see as a response is “I could never do that.” I’d rather think that the fact that I could do it means that other people could do it, too…
      I’m not talking about…[Read more]

      • Yea I guess the difference comes down to what we define as “time-consuming”… I think to sand down, putty the seamlines, spray paint, apply decals, topcoat, etc… is time consuming. Maybe cos I dun have enough time and I don’t wanna take weeks or months to complete a kit. You may want to and I respect the effort for that. Just don’t get bothered…[Read more]

        • Very well said @philliptan i myself is a straight builder. I usually dont mind using the foil stickers that came with my kits,. Honestly, I dont have the skills to paint. So what I do is try to choose a kit that has good color separations and also the color of the plastic parts. I watch reviews before I buy so I would know if there are a lot or…[Read more]
