It got pairs of fists to change?

my humble Red Frame

nail clippers... then use sandpaper or file... i prefer sand paper since it's flexible (paper mah)... but most of the time if u trim the sprues off nicely you wont really nice sandpaper. besides, sanding cannot be applied on dark surfaces, unless you want weathered effect ....... but if you're painting it, by all means go ahead and sand. Just odo do it overboard until you wreck the surface...

I have no confidence in BANDAI releasing a MG destiny soon...

I have an 1/100 Destiny and i must say it's considerably well made... compared this to the horrendous SF and you'll get what i mean.

Of course, unless you're really desperate to get Destiny, otherwise it's ok to wait for the MG.... most probably another year...

andyxp: i'm planning to get a blue frame too..... but still a bit reluctant coz my wallet's a bit tight at the moment... but that is a good model with a wide range of articulations and most importantly it has hell lots of parts... makes modelling more enjoyable.

btw, nice red fframe....... panel lines perhaps

im not desperate in getting a destiny.... but i like the colors and the concept of the sword and gun behind the unit....

i wanna draw it.. but my lines are a bit think ler always.... im using gundam marker GM01.... but cant draw thin lines... how?

Remind of my Astray without Katana.... Carelessly broke it.
Any guide on how to rebuilt one? Wat material to use? and how the shape?

Andyxp: GIVE ME THE KATANA !!!!

But MG is 1/100 scale...lets you see even more details...and easier to work with when painting...

thick lines aint a problem if u clean it before it dries up..... u could draw the lines first (they'll look thick initially), then using an eraser, gently rub over the lines, so that the top layer is rubbed off, while a thin line remains in the line pit/seam... alternatively, use ur finger (make ur skin a bit oily, not wet first)to rub the lines... but careful as it may smear...

sometimes magazines recommend spirits, but u dont know whether ur spirit is too strong or not, coz it may mess up the colored parts.

stick the katana back with glue, and putty it... spray it shiny with metallic paint..... VOILA !!

meanwhile..... maybe i'd try this out

thanks for the tips....

any website for tips like that? thanks...

not sure...... but u could check out certain modelling forums and magazines... dengeki hobby is the best IMO... but get the taiwan version will do, ori jap version is useless as most of us can't read jap...

First things first:
LOL, that's very true..... old school style...

Hope this pic helps, avatar:


To dj898, that's very good painting and finishing you did on your models, very impressive. I myself will be learning to do finishing work soon, hopefully...
(And woe to your Guntank, poor fellow... )

To hitler, can we place our order through you too, for some Gundam and non-Gundam models from your friend in Japan, if possible?



And now, moar model pics for this grand thread!:

Space Cruiser Yamato, anyone?



And a bit of Gundam for all:

The Zeta Gundam skit.


Frames of Red and Blue.

hahaha....quite funny there, but do you know that the giant blade of Blue Frame and it armor is made by the pilot of Red Frame for him??

true... very true...

nice collection you got there fodder. what's the green mech behind the quebley?

That's the MSK-008 Dijeh, Amuro Ray's mobile suit. The dark blue one is the RX-139 Hambrabi and the yellow one is the MSA-005 Methuss. These three are from the first editions of Bandai Zeta Gundam series, so no surprise that many aren't too familiar with that versions. Hope Bandai might consider making HGUC versions of Dijeh and Methuss, too (and other iconic MS of the Zeta series... )

They already did for Methuss.

Uh, they did? Is it in production? Cause AFAIK, the only Zeta Gundam HGUC models that has been released are The O, HiZack, Quebeley, Rick Dias, Gundam Mk-II, Psyco Gundam Mk-I, Zeta Gundam, Gaplant, Hyaku Shiki, Marasai, Asshimar, Gabthley and Palace Athene.

If it is coming soon, then swell. Methuss appeared not only in Zeta, but ZZ too. Same goes with Psyco Gundam Mk-II. Hope they'll make that 30cm monster... just like they did with the Mk-I. After all, the Mk-II is a lot meaner looking...

cheers mate
yea it's pity I don't have time to fix it at the moment...


Yamato!?
Man I loved that show? I still remember first time I saw it on telly when I was little boy... heh

by the way that one isn't painted is it?

i was trying my panel lining skills... haha

the eraser technique works fine !! SO FINE ~!

thanks StarGhazzer.... will post some pics soon...

Nope, not yet. When I can paint as proficiently as you, I'd do it. Otherwise I'd rather not make a mess out of my large collection of old and rare models, have to be real careful with them...

Of course, if you could do the honours of painting it for me...?

Same goes to my rare Yamato 2520:

Yep, Methuss' is now waiting for its official release (somewhere in March):


And a pearl colored HGUC Quebeley is coming out in March too, along with the Akatsuki Oowashi pack, and the MP Windam:


on an unrelated note, it seems that Hazel's going to be made into a MSiA....? o_O
