Here is an update on my Kampfer. I’ve got everything but the legs and weapons de-nubbed. And I’m about to run out of rods. So, I’m going to get the frame work for the legs, and the thrusters de-nubbed. Then I’m going to paint all the gray parts and thrusters. Detail and clear coat them. That will give me enough rods to finish out the armor pieces.…[Read more]
I know I’m getting a little bit ahead of myself, but I have an idea for another group build that might prove rather interesting if enough people participate. I wanna test this out though first to work out the kinks, so I am looking for either a moderator or veteran member of the forum with an open schedule to take on this endeavor with me. If…[Read more]
I’m going to wait for a long time before I get one. It looks great, but somehow I’m all spent in terms of the Unicorn design. I guess that’s what happens when you get four RDs, one of the HGUCs, and the Metal Composite figure. Too many of the design on my shelf.
Yeah you’re telling me. I have the current HGUC version, So I’m going to get these to finish it all up. Might spring for the FA Unicorn Mode just to say I have them all. haha
I’ve got too many kits on my wish list to worry with that one anytime soon, and my Ka just got ordered. I’ve got a decent backlog right now too so yeah…
Okay, feeling the need to be brutally honest at the moment. This is for everyone who’s got a Kampfer Amazing: I’m glad I’m overhauling this thing for the group build, because if I was building straight from the box, I would’ve probably thrown away the weapon binders simply for the piss–poor way the entire thruster pack assembly is connected. I…[Read more]
I haven’t came across that issue yet. I’m just getting the parts cut off and de-nubbed. I will say that I’m disappointed the kit doesn’t come with beam sabers. I mean, it used them in just the last episode. Why not include them? I’ll also say that I’m glad I’m replacing the binders. In the last episode I didn’t see the Kampfer once use the binders…[Read more]
How much of the Kampfer Amazing is recycled from the HGUC Kampfer? If Bandai went the cheap route, that would explain why the binders and/or backpack don’t want to stay mounted.
I’d say a good, 80-85%. If not more. The arms, shoulders, and backpack cover are new. The piping mounts on each side are new. And the front portion of the legs are new.
Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to. the polycaps the binders mount to are the only thing that go onto it, and then it’s supposed to mount to the back on the same mounts the original thrusters did. It holds fine until you attach the actual weapons pack, at which point the fit is so snug that when you position the packs, the polycaps want to move…[Read more]
I actually haven’t mounted the binders on mine yet, but you’ve gotten me curious. I’ll give it a try tonight and see how mine behaves. Still not sure how I’ll feel about it if the issue happens to mine.
In terms of gripes, I didn’t like the back part of the head. It hugs the torso so much that moving the head means instant scratches to a…[Read more]
So, here is my Playing with Plamo contest entry. The AGE-2R “Black Blade”
Looking back, there a few things that I would have done differently. Like I would have airbrushed the clear green instead of hand painting it. It was my 1st ever kit that I have airbrushed. I learned a lot while doing it, which is exactly what I wanted to do. Though I…[Read more]
Thanks guys. I’ve put into a bit more of a dramatic pose after the shoot. As if it were rushing forward for a shoulder tackle. I learned a lot from this kit. I hope that I can what learned here and make my Kampfer Amazing look 10x better.
Can’t wait to see the first painted parts. All airbrushed on this, right?
Heck yes,good to see you making progress! I’m still waiting on my stuff to ship.
Yep, all airbrushed.
