Interesting idea. This Delta could turn out great (or not). The big question about it. Will it transform?
PS. I cannot wait to see the legs assembled – cause right unless you heavy modify the steins trusters they will look awkward (im not sure if they will hide the orginal Delta leg thrusters ).
All in all good luck with the build. And if its…[Read more]
Well I can tell you that it will not transform. The legs are the only parts of the delta that I’m using. I didn’t mod the steins thrusters yet but when I test fit the part of the thruster that connects to the arm it looked good and didn’t completly hide the delta thruster
I’m confident that it will look good when I’m finished
So the first modification in this kit bash was trying to get the sinanju stein feet onto the delta plus legs. Since both have the female side of the connection, I needed to graft the post from the bottom of the sinanju leg into a poly cap of sorts to replace the actual poly cap from the leg of the delta.
I’m going to smash these 4 together and see what I get 😉 there will be a full WIP on my FB page for those interested. More posts once I get to some of the modifications
Well now i just have to wait for HLJ to get the RG Wing Zero back in… At least i can look at pretty pictures and try to learn Japanese in the mean time.
well this one is finally done, until the water slides i ordered come in. So much weight from all those weapons makes this one rather limited when it comes to poses. Those fuel…
more of the hi nu done i topcoated all of these parts with some model master flat coat thanks to @teetee580 for telling me tamiya flat coat es no bueno lol but i replaced it…
well its been a few days since i started with the hi nu ver ka i just need an arm and those funnels and a leg i decided to break up some of the white and add a little more of…
While im waiting for a package full of plastic to arrive, i figured i would get some work done on the nu ver ka. Im trying to get as much done before the kits for my monster kit bash come in.
ok i decaled my hi nu painted it up gloss coated it and then finally i flat coated it and then all of a sudden it started frosting the entire model the decal on the head is completely gone thank god i only painted up the head piece with it help pls im so mad
Did you allow the gloss coat to completely cure before putting on the flat coat? What kind of gloss and flat did you use (laquer, acrylic?) Did you spray outside in the cold?
I had the same problem with my MG Destiny. The flat coat was the worst of the two. It even happened with the gloss acrylic from Tamiya.
I did some searching on the web back then.
For the gloss it’s advised to spray two fogged layers and one final all covering one with a minimum of twelve minutes between coats. But it didn’t work for me. I sprayed…[Read more]
well what happend was i used the tamiya and it frosted up the entire head i used future for gloss coat and that didnt do any dmg but the tamiya destroyed my kit can i ask what kind of flat coat do u use i was thinking maybe i should use modelmaster but better safe than sorry i suppose
In threw the Tamiya in the trash and ordered Alclad II Klear Kote Matte. Didn’t had any trouble with it so far, but only used it ones on a model plane a few weeks back. But keep in mind, this is an enamel based clear, regardless of what the brand name implies.
There are some people that state that the Tamiya matte (X-21 if I recall correctly) is…[Read more]
well from what i read it said on pledge future it is acrylic so dik but about the flat coat is that flat coat the same one u used on ur hi nu also and did u just lightly spray it or how so
mind if I share what I did with my MG Nu Gundam, after painting, I used flat coat first for paint protection. And thats the only thing that I flat coat it. Then panel lining then seal with clear coat (not gloss coat), then decals(water) seal with clear coat then all the way clear coat and it still look flat and I’m satisfied. Also, don’t paint…[Read more]
So I got a bunch of plastic for the holiday and i got a few (less than half) of the weapons on the clear unicorn. I think its time to start on the pink and green nu with some…
The FA Unicorn is looking great, have you thought about getting the PG Unicorn? Also, that’s a really cool colour scheme for a Nu, it’ll look really nice with your Sazabi.
is it a bad idea to spray gloss coat and flat coats in 32 degree weather lol thinking bout doin it but i dont wanna have it frost u no like after painting
I take it that is Fahrenheit…? We don’t all live in the US…. As long as the humidity isn’t above 70 percent you should be fine. Just takes longer to dry and cure
That’s actually not a good idea, as that’s freezing. I suggest finding an indoor area that you can keep above 40 degrees. under 40 degrees, and the paint can start to crystalize, and fracture, and even freeze. If you are going to do it, I suggest you keep the cans indoors, go out, spray the spray the part, and the immediately take the part inside…[Read more]
That’s what I figured, that he is only going to paint it outside. Normally a lacquer starts to dry and cure as it is sprayed.
And any paint will start to shift when it is kept in a freezing condition. This is stated on the cans and bottles in most cases.
well i have an airbrush so i figured wait i have a hi nu i just got for christmas and i have a week and a half break so y not paint it up and make it look damm ass nice u no wht im saying anyways if u live in the us do u no where i can get that pldege future stuff cant find it in shoprite didnt check walmart though i set up my airbrush in my room…[Read more]
I can get it here, even in the Netherlands in the bigger grocery shop. And as Walmart is a really big one, my guess is, you can get it there.
If not, you could always try online. You might even find it cheaper there.
As for spraying with the window open, as long as you have the heater on and the temperature doesn’t drop below freezing, you will…[Read more]
Some experimenting with sharpie and chrome paint got me the effect that i was looking for. This is turning out do be an interesting build with lots of super tiny parts.
The weather and timing finally worked out and i was able to snap some shots of the finished Sazabi. I wish i could have had this guy finished for the GBWC but gunpla ADD got…
Bad lighting and poor camera quality are the main cause. Better resolution pics on my FB page. I hear what you are saying about the decals blending into the background on clear kits, but i really enjoy the effect it gives.
@baimao heres something i made four years back the colors kinda coming off becasue i didnt repaint it and top coat it but ill get that done when im not as busy
ok folks i got a wacky idea that bounced into my head and ive been giving it some serious thought. I want to take the RG Zaku and bash it with the HG Gouf custom, http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN965503/Gun I don’t know if i would call it a bash per se. im just looking to make a highly detailed RG quality Gouf so i will be trying to mod the HG armor…[Read more]
Its a interesting project. You could call it a sneak peak into the RG that is yet to come. Legs should be a fairy simple job. From the looks you could leave the RG feet. Hands should be a little more tricky. The way the Gouf are made it hard for me to figure out how to make sliding armor effect.
I wish you luck with the project. Just remember…[Read more]
You may end up having to sacrifice sone of the sliding panels but it should be doable for the most part, especially if you’re planning to keep the same arms used on the HG.
good luck with the project. keep in mind that the torso of the zaku & the gouf custom is different. might have a hard time connecting the leg of the other to the hips & torso of the other since the RG has its own inner frame. keep us posted with your project. 🙂
