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
Hey tech support, I’m not sure if this is on the desktop website but on mobile I’m seeing 2 seperate “like” buttons in the activity feed.
As well as that, on mobile I’m not seeing a “log in” button on the home page, just the “create account” button.
Here some pictures of my MG OO. Still need to do the O Raiser as well as the GN III Sword. Pictures didn’t came out too good… Need to address the lighting for the next pictures so that the pre-shading will show
Looks very good! Hope you’ll have lots of fun building the O Raiser. Looking forward on seeing it completed. Keep up the great work! Good luck and happy building
don’t think this will happen anymore. from their email, bandai is setting up a online parts replacement system for those outside japan.
that’s why hlj and other places that did parts (genteikits etc) has stopped this service as well. that or it’s too much trouble (time and money) to be the middle man for it. they didn’t have to do it as the…[Read more]
@daverb , Thanks for sharing this mail with us! That would be awesome if Bandai will finally do this!
And how cool of you to write them an email. How did you get the email address if I may ask?
Sorry, I’m just curious as a cat 😉
but i guess it only worked back then and they even covered the replacement under the customer’s responsibility (in short, even if you broke it). it seems they’ve stopped and so i got that reply from them after a week or so. i was so bummed…
Damn as usual only Italy in Europe is granted this service.
In France we are a lot of Gunpla fans and it’s been years we’re relying on personal friends in Japan to get replacement parts. Each time we are sorry to disturb them with this so when I saw your topic I was like “YEAH FINALLY!”, then I watched the video and saw the email sample and was…[Read more]
im just gunna throw this out there but on ebay theres a guy that sells certain gundam parts like astray, quebeley and other kits so you may want to check that guy out
also i know that gundamstoreandmore sell specific gundam parts too so if ur lucky and they have that one it might be good too
It’s been years that Bandai supports only Italy in Europe, that’s a shame and I don’t think it will change soon.
I know someone who was fed up with the GBWC contest rules and went on a trip to Italy to participate. He managed to apply his Gunpla but when the guys saw he wasn’t Italian they told him to get the f… out.
Hi, I’m new to this group, and I have a question, I have just finished my MG Build Strike Gundam Full Package, and recently my order just arrived, and it’s MG Universe Booster, as I looked in the manual, I just found out that I have to dissemble the Shield just to make it the absorb shield, and my problem is how can I dissemble it properly? I…[Read more]
You have to pry it open, but really careful. This is normally done with a parts separator. But I take it you don’t have one.
You can use your knife and gently stick it between the parts. Don’t use a twisting motion, as it will damage the edges. If you hold the part horizontal the move the knife in an upward and downward movement.
This way you’ll…[Read more]
another thing is if you might want to trim the pegs a little bit so the next time you want to disassemble them its going to be a lot easier. I usually trim them 45deg from the top.
As for a part separator, I just went to my local kitchen utility shop and look for a small plastic knife
teetee my friend! thanks! you’ve always been a great encourager with your comments when people post their work no matter what level they’re at. Very much appreciated.
that is awesome paintwork on the weapons! good stuff. how did u do that i always wanted to paint little details like that but i never figured out how to do it 🙂
Syd, your reviews and positive feedback on the Ver 2.0 Zakus helped me choose this kit. I’d really like to get a couple more of the other variants and have them displayed together! Also, you’ve made my day by commenting on my post! YAY.
Banshee13, the idea was to have some color separation to get rid of the boring gray all over the weapons. I hand painted the handles and sprayed the long tubes of the bazooka. Also, i just like to have some copper wherever i can on those weapons and I did this with a very fine brush.
Thank you. I’m very happy with how it came out. Currently working on an HG Destiny that will also be painted. The Ez was painted with acrylics and the Destiny will be my experiment with lacquer paints. I’ll post pics of that build when completed.
same on the desktop browser… flooded by green boxes lol
Yep, same here. To be sure, clicking both thumps for liking LOL
two thumbs up! 😀
