Question on water slides: why are they so difficult to get? HLJ is not the only place on the web that sells them but everywhere is the same: huge and permanent out of stocks. So Syd and Ryan do you know why those water slides are so hard to get world wide? I hate the stickers, even the latest “RG style” ones and I never start a kit if I don…[Read more]

Hi guys I have just have a few questions and I hope you can help me. I customize one of my gunpla and debating if I should put a topcoat on it. Its color is more like…
Hi guys, I have a question regarding top coats. First off, could the Tamiya bottles be used as a top coat to protect paint and decals? Second and more importantly, could I use…
in my experience, those top coats are good for anything, just that whenever you flat top coat your kits, you should always in a warm weather or having warm, bright sun around so that we can avoid frosting effects which is not good for your kit. Always use thinner so that it will thin out the topcoats for better results.

I quite like it, it reminds me a lot of the Ground Gundam/EZ8. I probably won’t be picking it up at this point though, as I’ve already got the RX-78 2 3.0.
Well, each RX-78 2 has it’s own style so when you look at 2.0 being anime style and 3.0 being new engineering in realistic design and proportions then that’s okay. Katoki has his own special design and I kinda think of this Origin one as a 2.0 to that one.
Even though I love the RX78-2, I think it’s normal that people get tired seeing so many reiterations getting released. But at the same time it was to be expected because of the release of the Gundam Origin show.
The unpainted prototype could be either the RX78-02 or the RX78-01 Test Type that used this equipment setup when it intercepted the platoon of Zakus that infiltrated Side 7 in chapter One (page 45), wiping out the platoon in chapter Two by shooting one at close range (page 49) which rips a hole open in Side & flushed it out into space so that…[Read more]
