Hi! I have a question regarding of MG Gundam Exia reg ver. and I’m currently building it, and I have a problem on it’s hatch, it won’t stay closed, can you suggest something so that I can solve this matter? Thank you.
As I don’t have the model itself and not exactly sure what the reg ver. is, I’ve looked at the instruction manual for the MG Exia Repair and my guess is that maybe the innerframe part of the cockpit hatch isn’t “clicked” in all the way. In the manual it states that you should get a sound when it clicks into place.
Another thing that I can see from…[Read more]
I know that Samuel can print “custom” decals for you. So, if you have an opportunity to scan the sticker sheet you can send that file to Samuel and he can print it for you
I cut down a bamboo skewer or toothpick to a fine point then use that to paint details (I use humbrol enamels but any paint would work). This works well for 1/100 and 1/60 but is a little rough for a 1/144 figure.
I myself use a very small brush. I first paint the lowest detail on the figure and the work my way up. For example, if the pilot wears a jacket over a t-shirt, I first start with the t-shirt, then the jacket. When doing the jacket, hold the stem of the brush perpendicular to the edge of the jacket. This way the brushes won’t paint over the edges,…[Read more]
Been working on my 1/144 Sazabi….weathered and repainted with a bit of Battle Damage..Almost there….and a bit…crude…since i’ve yet to master a clean finish….thoughts..?
In my honest opinion, if you do some battle damage, the finish doesn’t have to be flawless. As a matter of fact, it shouldn’t.
I can’t see where it is rough, it looks like a great paint job to me. There are some rough patches on the thrusters on the backpack, but if you wouldn’t have told us that it is a bit “crude”, I wouldn’t have noticed it at…[Read more]
MG Age-1 Custom Football GUndam aka: MG Tyler
Designed after my little big brother’s football team.
I cut and sanded the spoiler and added custom thrusters(Pen Caps) Glow in the Dark Paint etc.. Nail Polish Paint was used. Primer and Nail polish was mixed and then airbrushed directly onto bare plastic and it worked legit.
Thank you^I cemented some of the joints and this thing is like an action figure. Some paint chips here and there from all the poses but I’m not going to complain. The titus can move and even with the added mods it still holds it down. It’s balance is different and can stand with it’s solid foundation. It’s fun go for it …you can gunpla freedom…[Read more]
