Hello guys.
I just built my first MG, the Astray Red Frame!
Anyway, i cant find a way to mount it in a action base without the use of the huge sword/backpack it has.
The manual tells me to insert a piece under the skirt and then use that piece to mount it on the action base.
I have the piece in place, but I cant find a way to insert that in the…[Read more]
yea u need the big action base the one usually used for the mg sold separately the one given to u in the box of the astray is for the use of the big sword/bow and arrow as a support so it doesnt fall down and such but to get the astray on a stand with that adaptor u gotta use an action base http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN948215/Sup
I’m still debating. I want to get the Origin Zaku II, Guntank, the Revive Guncanon, the RX-78-2 not so much. But I really wanted the Hyaku Shiki 2.0 (damn, this thing is expensive!). So I may skip all these for now. I have all these (older/different versions) afterall.
Great collection, now you just need to make the PG in RG/3.0 style :P.
I’d love to see an HG revive guntank, though I’m not sure what there is to improve on such a basic design. Hyaku Shiki 2.0 looks amazing but sooooo expensive because of that electro plating.
I got the MG Hyaku Shiki the day before they announced the 2.0 But I’m not upset about that what so ever. I would love to see the Hyaku Shiki in RG form as well.
did you paint it silver then a clear green over top? it looks freaking amazing! i love it so much and the Sinanju is one of my top three favorite designs ever so this is just wonderful to see!!!! please keep the pics comming! also if at all possible i would greatly appreciate some awesome pics once its done to steal for my background!! keep up the…[Read more]
Spent the evening making myself some led lighting plates to improve my photography.
I’ll be using them either side of my fold up photobooth for diffusion.
Designed them to daisy chain together too.
Lighting really does make a difference.
It no gundam but its a plastic kit non the less, its DMK06 optimus Prime from age of extinction, I stripped the inner frame apart and completely repainted it, the decal was a…
Just Finished my Thunderbolt ball! Great little kit if you like to paint but straight out of the box its nothing special. Its my first ball kit and I really enjoyed it.
Finished my RG Destiny Gundam. First RG I’ve done. Was pretty awesome, very detailed, didn’t take as long as a Master Grade but with great articulation, though i found the…
Hey guys! I just recently joined the community, and this would be my first post. I have a question regarding Enamel paints, made by Testors. The ones that come in a 1/4…
Enamels are pretty tough once fully cured, so a lacquer on top would be no problem as long as you don’t spray the first layer on too thick.
Lacquers are the toughest of paints and dry and cure really fast.
You could also spray an acrylic based clear on top of the enamels. This may be useful when planning on doing a panel wash made out of enamel…[Read more]
I see. Thank you for the info! I’ll bear everything in mind. I’m definitely going to check out Lacquer, and Acrylic and try them out. As I’ve only ever used Enamel. I went and sub to his channel on YouTube. Thanks again for all the info, it was really helful!
Having seen a preview of Gundam: The Origin, Blue Eyed Casval I noticed that the MS-06R used by the Black Tri-Stars is based on the established MSV version. This got me thinking about whether the construction of the legs for the Origin Ver. Zaku will be similar to the MS-06 which could make it possible to Make a Zaku II Johnny Ridden Custom Origin…[Read more]
Was in a gunpla hiatus for 5 yrs, thank you gbf for re igniting my gunpla craze.
Had two kits and tried to get back into it.
First example djinn and vigna rizah.
photos ain’t the best fyi.
Following the G-Self Base, I present the handpainted Build Burning Head Display. I had a few issues with it. The parts are really tight-fitted so when I testbuild them I could…
Another update on the kitbash. Frame is about 75% done, just need to finish the arms and the backpack. Backpack will take some time cause I have to mod it to get the tallgeese thrusters and the fuel tanks back there.
Thnx, with all the joint modification that i needed to do i really hope it comes the way im thinking. Hopefully i will have the frame finished by the end of the weekend.
good work looks nice so far 🙂
