Welcome! The kits look really nice, a little dusty tough, haha. You did a very good job with painting them! There are maybe a few things you could do for your next kits. A bit of masking, for example the black piece of the backpack mounted gun on the FA Gundam, overall it looks really really nice!

So far soooo…good…my Zasabi has come along nicely….just got the funnels to go and a gloss coat to do…thanks for the advice teetee580 😉 and he’ll be good to go…
This is incredible! I’m in love with the custom colour scheme…truly good job!! I was wondering if you can remember what type of blue paint it is you used? Or was it self mixed? As if you wouldn’t mind, I might like to use that blue colour on some of my builds 🙂
Thanks, the blue was a custom mixed color, I don’t remember the ratio anymore but it was a combination of Cobalt Blue, Indy Blue, White, and a small amount of Lavender. Cheers.
It’s been far too long since I posted an update due to camera issues but here we go!
I’ve now built every main MG AEUG suit from Zeta (Rick Dias, Mk-II 2.0, Hyaku Shiki 2.0…
They vary heavily in quality from kit to kit, all the “G” suits, the Grimoire and the Elf bullock are very good, while the others are a bit sub-par. None of the G-reco suits have very good articulation unfortunately.
I’d recommend you try the G-self and Gastima, they’re fun builds and look good in the end.
Hello Q/A group I am new to the group and have completed (straight builds) 9 HG models. I am thinking about making a resin copy of a model or two. I would like to know 1) if you can make a resin cast of the polycaps and 2) what type of resin casting would be best to use to achieve the same feeling of the polycaps? Thanks in advance for any info…[Read more]
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.
Correction some real grades and a high grade thunderbolt
