Here is my MG Aile Strike Ver. RM. Enjoyed this kit very much. Even more then the MG Nu Ver.Ka. which is almost unbeatable in my book. Hope you like it
these bandai star wars kits are amazing. i loved building the snow speeder so i picked up the t-65 x-wing that i started today, vader’s tie adv. x-1. i have a regular tie, and a t-70 x-wing on the way. i am going to do custome paint jobs and decals on them as well. they are so much fun!
I recently started painting using an airbrush and I noticed that when I would paint, all that would come out would be clear liquid which I would assume is thinner, and not the actual color to be painted. I figured that I put too much thinner into the mix. What ratio of paint to thinner should I use?
depends on the paint. you kind of have to play around with it to get a ratio you like. for instance tamiya paint, some say a 1:1 ratio, i find that for 20 drops (pipette) of thinner i use 16-17 drops of paint.

Hi @Syd and @Ryan, thanks for a great show guys. As a newbie I learn a lot from your show. Awesome! So far I only have 4 HG, really afraid I’ll do some mistake in MG. But next in the list is RG. I don’t know yet what I want to build though. Any suggetions?
I alway say to build the Mobile Suit you are most interested in. You’ll be more involved with the build. If there is a one suit that stands out to you above the others in the Real Grade line then go for that one.
Here are finally some pictures of previous finished kits of 2015. The MG Strike Freedom (not the Full Burst Mode) and the MG RX-78-2 Ver. 2.0
Pictures of the MG Aile Strike will follow soon. Now I can start weathering up the MG Zaku II Ver. 2.0 😀
