Hello all, i'm new here and gunpla.. done a few kit MG Wing, rick dom, blue frame and HG age titus.. just completed sinanju and will post some pic when i have the time..

btw have ordered the kshatriya from elyn hobby but are only able to start building and reviewing later half of this year due to work and study commitment.. hope u guys welcome me..

haha, I used to be very poor when I'm young.. I still remember i can only stand at the display of those sd gundam kits staring at them.. now when i grew up
i kind of renewed my interest since i have a job now although not very high pay =D..

here is a recent work my gogo HG sazabi, hand painted since i have yet to decide whether to get a compressor
.. kind of messy work hope u guys don't mind a newbie work.

this tt hongli sinanju i just completed yest.. somehow I not sure why i have a hard time to fix the rifle in its hand.. and from pic u can't see but there are nub marks... zzz
i have yet to paint it due to work and study commitment.. I have used silver marker to paint on those emblem.. sticker don't work for me and they peel off...

thx u it always feel good to get appreciation from fellow gunpla lover.

more poison before i go to bed.. good night all

oh.. i thought is only my kit happened to have the problem.. so far only 2 kit i have this prob.. first is the wing zero mg.. still thinking whether to cement the rifle to the hand or not..

definately will buy this if it is available.. looking good.

I actually started out practicing gunpla using daban and gao gao kit.. so far only need minor cement (note: may be due to my own incompetent since i am still new). so far the china kit I've build i think the daban 7th sword is freaking awesome.. not sure about the original thought but the 7th sword is the most satisfying non bandai kit so far.. but i have not much problem with my tt hongli wing zero.. just that somehow the rifle just don't stick to the hand.. i believe the original have the same problem.. MC model also had some nice model.. I've build the HG HWS and I enjoyed it.. snapfit without any problem..

Some part like maybe the side skirt i find it loss so cement it to prevent it from falling off. maybe its just me because my room is messy, once some small parts drop your never going to find it back..

I'ver ordered the heavyarms but unsure if I should go pick up O raiser since i already have the 7th sword.. and i'm also thinking of collecting the sandrock and shenlong.. but I think i've overspent this month

Thanks for your advice. Yup, I did enjoyed building the 7th sword and that is the reason why I'm thinking of getting the O raiser. Not very sure if I should grab the MG unicorn, seem like an old kit but I already have the MG sinanju, that make no excuse not to get his rival. I'm just worried about the transformation parts since I've never own one before..

yours is such a pro job. I only snapfitted the 7th sword without any decals and only panel lined the face..

why not? I have hand painted my gogo sazabi, HG tallgeese 3, sg sinanju, sd kshatriya, sd shin kanu and sd the O.. I must admit its not as nice as airbrushing work but hell its better than fix and do nothing with it.. btw i have hand painted all of them using laquer paint not knowing its not advisable to do so.. I believe practice make perfect.. never try never know.. a gunpla master told me before there is no fixed guideline on how u fix or paint ur gunpla.. just don't buy an expensive kit and start doing ur experiment unless your super rich..

looking good , make me want to buy the sandrock more.. btw have yet to try on painting the inner frame.

oh i see, I bought an airbrush but have yet to invest on a compressor.. does not wish to start on massive work yet for my gunpla due to hectic final year of my study.. hence most of those model kits that I like will be kept in backlog till i finished my course in the later part of this year. So far those small parts I have used either normal marker or hand painted them. Still considering whether to get a air compressor or a hi-blow airpump to act as a compressor.. Reason to consider using that airpump is due to its low maintenence and less noise although I believe the air pressure is not as high as a normal compressor..

mf_yamato - nice looking inner frame work for your zaku.. I have yet to get hold of a MG zaku..

I hope I'll get a PG soon but all of my $$ been used up on the kshatriya which may turn out to be a disaster definately an impluse buy.. because all along I am aiming for the 1/144 scale one but saw this ad from elyn hobby of the kshatriya with all the LED lights and i immediately pre order I hope my limited gunpla scale will not hinder the progress when it finally arrive.. so i guess i may leave it in my backlog till i get more skillful..

How u did ur gold? Somehow my gold paint not so shiny.. Anyway i love ur sinanju

Wow thanks alot for the pointers i'll try and go look for the marker.

actually different people experiences different result.. honesty speaking i have failed in the spray can department..
my first ever sd kit was sprayed using spray can and i applied too many layers without waiting for it to dry first.
there is no easy way in learning curve.. u need to experience failure then your learn to apply different techniques..
and a guy have told me never to throw away those kit that you deem you failed.. and you continue
learning by painting another one.. from there you can judge how much you progressed.

I tried silver leaf plus clear red it doesn't work out. Now i've tried the metal laquer paint and it turn out quite well. So far only used laquer paint before and found it extremely poisonous without a proper mask.. Not gonna further touch on them till i get a proper mask protection.. Safety first, hobby 2nd

nice hoot I'm still thinking whether I should buy the duel.
