Hi all. new here and to this layout of “forum”. have recently started getting into some Gundam etc figures but still to start my first build.
Regular customer of HLJ.
Check out my previous builds, WIP etc here http://webbynz.blogspot.co.nz/View
This is what I’m currently working on. It’s base is a Gundam Ez-SR kit. I’ve added weapons from some weapons kits and the hands from a different Gundam kit. I was a little…
looks great! 🙂 lore-wise does the machine have some kind of EXAM system? or is it more focused on artillery and firepower? sorry, its just something I like to do to give custom gunpla like the ones I make interesting in both appearance and lore related weapons if it were an actual mobile suit. 😀 anyways hope it comes out great!
An EXÀM system is and was a counter measure that mechanized newtype abilities into a mobile suit allowing normal pilots to face off against newtypes, its ok if you made this for a cool lookin set. Like I said I just like giving any custom made gunpla that extra bit of flavor that, in a sense, makes it seem stronger 🙂
ok two questions
1. i just got a beargguy (SO ADORABLE TTTTTTT) well i want to paint it into the 1989 batman and i got everything painted except i have no clue how to do the…
it has a little transparency but opaque for the most part. looks like fluorescent orange paint to me. or it could just be a heavy coating of clear orange with flat coat. i don’t see any traces of a silver coat underneath though.
On the Batman symbol, I would take a big piece of masking tape and draw the symbol on it, cut it out, place it on the chest and then use paint to either brush or spray it in.
With the Banshee, the Psycho Frame looks to be a Orange Yellow (Mr.Hobby # C58). If you like it to be, you could mix it with some fluorescent paint to get it to light up…[Read more]
thx i tried that idea @teetee580 but the problem is that the symbol is so very tiny that its impossible to do ive tried it a good solid 7 times (yes i counted)
thanks for giving me an idea for the banshee daverb and teetee i wasnt too sure but my problem is that my hobby shop doesnt sell mr color they only sell tamiya so i dont think the…[Read more]
That’s indeed a lot of times. I guess liquid masking is out of the question too. The only way I can think of now is getting a waterslide for the symbol. I don’t know if you have a printer, so you could give it a go yourself. Or you could contact Samuel for some costume ones.
Yes, if Tamiya paints are your only option then a fluorescent mix is out…[Read more]
You’re welcome of course. I don’t know either, when putting a clear yellow on top of a silver, it gives a goldish effect, never tried it with orange. Think I’ll try it myself too. Anyways, good luck with your projects!
Hi guys, I have an airbrush cleaning question. I just got this new airbrush and was wondering if it is ok to clean it with industrial strength acrylic lacquer thinner. My worry is that if it is too strong, it might damage my airbrush. Any info on the matter is appreciated! 😀
if you’re not sure of what’s in it and want to be safe, don’t let the airbrush soak in it for long. some people like to leave the cleaners in the airbrush or soak all the parts for a few hours or overnight for some serious cleaning but it might be bad for the seals depending on the cleaner components. it’s always better to clean while the paint is…[Read more]
Ye i also use 99%alcohol it works very well i strongly suggest not using something industrial like because it could destroy an expensive airbrush like that
That looks really sweet! If you don’t mind me asking, how did you build them? Do you have a tutorial somewhere online? Would appreciate it a lot.
The Zaku II is great by the way!
It’s the HGUC Char’s Counterattack’s Hi-v Gundam. I changed the color scheme to the Green Dragon, panel-lined, sealed, applied optional decals, photo-etched screws, metal balls & metal screws, & sealed again.
Thank you very much. Cyan. Wrong lighting & crappy smartphone camera. If it were a DSLR, the colors would be correct. I didn’t photoshop anythihng. Just crop & resize. If you look up my name, you’ll see Doven Wolf that has the same cyan I mixed too much. I reused the cyan.
ok update time, so…I come back from Georgia only to find out my order was postponed to today so no big deal but then they call later today…and apparently its been…

I’ll be honest, I don’t even know what an EXAM system is. I just did it because I thought it would look cool.
