actually i had one of those hobby japan books that had a tutorial on how to scratch build the jesta cannon armor i never gave it a shot but it makes me wanna try just to prove something to bandai lol
The grand daddy of all Gundams is coming together bit by bit. It’s the Ver.2.0, liked it a bit more then the MG version of the RG, but that’s all just personal preference.
Next time some pictures of the completed model 😉
WOW!!!!!!!! looking awesome! you should’ve bought two kits so you could display one with just the frame and the amount of detail you’re putting into it. The completed kits is going to be a master piece man.
Thank you very much, you’re making me blush 🙂
Yes, it’s almost a shame to put the armor on the frame, hence I took a lot of pictures of it.
Fortunately the knees still shows some detailing, but maybe a kit with just half armored up is an idea…
Thanks again for your nice comment!
A bit late (almost finished the RX-78-2) but nevertheless, a few more kits for the backlog and my first Japanese hobby magazine 🙂 And some little small stuff, like extra verniers, mono eyes and action bases
Unfortunately one has to be able to read Japanese, although you can pick up a lot from the pictures. Not gonna spoil anything for you, but it is a very nice magazine!
Please do share some pictures when your package comes in
I have recently gotten into gundams. I have assisted my kids putting some kits together but have only assembled one my self. I know this is the MG section and wanted to ask if HLJ would be getting the MG 1/100 FA-78-2?

I can second Iceburn’s recommendation for Mandarake as well. I’ve bought from them (mostly exclusives) for a long time and never had any problem so far. It could be a bit pricey though. And not all listed items on their site is really still available. Sometimes it’s already sold out, so they have to double check first. The latest I’ve got from…[Read more]
yeah i know what you mean. they’ve got a 3-day item stock check before you can even pay for them. Prices are a higher than genteikits.com but they sometimes have old exclusives and they are way better than the last option which is ebay.
latest item i got from them was a Astray Noir and Ver RM Striker Packs
