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.

I think Bandai is at a point they don’t have any interesting to show to us fans apart from RG Double OO Raiser and. I don’t see any MG that I’m interested (the one I’m interested is on the P Bandai). my Gunpla mood have been down since December when I got my PG Unicorn from Hlj(but a bit dissapointed but get it anyway. BTW @Syd and @Ryan can’t hlj…[Read more]
Thanks, I’m still working on the blades…sadly I cant find any flat colors here…and Havnt had a chance to order anything yet…hence the shine on the kit…
This is Bandai’s High Grade Universal Century Banshee Norn Destroy Mode. I changed its color scheme to Musha Banshee, masked off, panel-lined & sealed the kit.
it has a full inner frame which is the amazing part. if this type of kit can have inner I am sure Bandai can do them for gundam kits in the future and this kit is really really cheap as well
This is actually a Majin bone kit you can find it on HLJ, they are about as big as the average 1/144 gundams, I am not sure about the sprukits as they have really weird looking articulations but if they are the about the same size as this kit I would just them and kit bash it with this one
1/144 Takemikazuchi Type-00A – fully painted, this kit requires a fair amount of masking and detailed brush painting, it’s actually harder than making an MG in my opinion.
It was a tiny spot of gaia fluorescent paint, so a composite picture that stacked a normal photo, and another photo with UV light shined on it to reflect the blue light. 1/144 Takemikazuchi doesn’t have too much room for even a 1.5mm LED.
ya 1/144 is quite difficult with many parts requiring reverse wash and small spots to hand painting, the shoulder, stomach, fists, feet and waist section came entirely white so had to do a lot of reverse wash like sinanju gold trims.
I’d suggest using a epoxy putty, like “The Green Stuff”. It is a putty made out of two compounds which you have to mix. It contains a “filler” and “hardener”.
You could apply it directly to the piece, sculpt it to the desired shape and when cured sand it down.
With this method, there is no need for a super glue to adhere it to a part, but can be…[Read more]
I just did some research on this a couple months ago, heres what i found:
I kept seeing this ‘yellow’ putty substance they would fill in the voids in HG kits with, and create simple parts, In Hobby Japan magazine. I google-translated several pages until it became clear it was called ‘polyester putty’ It seems they have Tamiya Polyester Putty,…[Read more]
Hey guys — we’re excited that you’re all so excited about the MEGA-SIZE giveaway this time on Gunpla TV! We’ve been noticing a lot of repeat commenters, though. Please be courteous to the community and the other builders who want to win just as badly as you do, and refrain from posting excessive comments to increase your chances of winning.
As…[Read more]
You are absolutely right, but I’m afraid 90% of the ones that post a comment on the episodes never ever post or read something on this blog 🙁 So I think it would be better to refer to this problem (again) in an episode of Gunpla TV. Take care
This is my progress so far on my Mg Sandrock. This is the first gundam model I have ever painted! (apart from my Mg exia which I clear coated last week). Thought there was a bit too much white on Sandrock, so decided to add some sand colour. What do ya think? Lining, stickers, flat coat and maybe some silver scratches to come!
P/S : when will we see your ‘finished’ millennium falcon? XD XD
Maybe one day …
