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
been working on this for a few days.
base:
i wanted a floating effect, i think it came out good. i still need to add some lights and stain.
gunpla:
i like the gold but im trying to figure out the green, im thinking tamiya racing green?
You could try spraying, but then you’ll need to have the parts in a transparent clear. And getting those sparkles in there…?
Your best bet would be recasting the parts you want that effect in with clear resin, ad some pigment for the purple color and some metallic or pearl flakes to get the desired effect.
Sorry, but that’s the only way I can…[Read more]
yeah those effect parts were from the mold, meaning it was part of the plastic when it was melted and formed. if you’re happy enough with a paint effect on the outside, Tamiya has a spray paint color Pearl Clear. it’s a clear coat with sparkly flakes so you can paint any clear color you want first on clear parts and coat this after or probably…[Read more]
my custom persay wing zero. Decided to go all primer grey with a grey drybrush that is about a shade lighter for detail effects. Placed on a painted wooden stand with three, low profile LEDs behind it.
Can anyone suggest the best & fastest way to strip panel lining? I used the red gundam marker drip type for my rg zeta karaba. I did not like the outcome so i want to redo it using gray. btw iv’e done the panel lining it for about a year now and have lost my manual so as much as possible, I dont want to disassemble the kit. thanks.
Any suggestions for an Led for the RX 78-2 Ver 3.0? I would like to get the Bandai set but they only have green and red. And as far as I know 78-2 has yellow eyes.
Any responses are much appreciated. Thank you
just the 3rd party knock offs on eBay… or you can create your own LEDs. there’s a tutorial on Youtube. or buy the green Bandai LEDs, take them apart and switch out the LEDs with yellow ones. you’d have to undo the solder and re-solder with your own yellow LEDs. Bandai did release a yellow one with the P-Bandai exlusive Extra Weapon Pack for…[Read more]
tbh u should really buy the knock off ones. its not really a big big deal to buy it. its also a little cheaper as a plus. a while ago i bought the green led from bandai and the knock off and what i feel was that the bandai one was not as bright as the knock off and it didnt even last as long also the knock off is already pre built so u dont have…[Read more]
At last, my first Gunpla since the PG Unicorn last X-mas. Have to finish a commission before I can start building this beast. Not going to be Red or Yellow ( 😉 @Syd). Keeping it a surprise LOL
Also ordered some builder parts Verniers and some action bases
Thanks guys!
@daverb Yeah, like the Stein too, and that riffle sets me off a little too! @thebanshee13 I was contemplating it, ordered decals from Samuel a month ago for a commission I was working on, but wasn’t too pleased about the quality. When cutting them, one needs to be really careful not to touch them as the ink smudges really fast. Looked…[Read more]
Been a while since I’ve posted so I figured I would show what I’ve been doing. The kit bash is well underway and I’m currently figuring out the backpack arrangement. Lemme know what ya folks think
