Hee hee see the stand I bought for my Sazabi, color looks ok?

Anyway, for those who think about a stand for Sazabi, the standard 1/100 action stand DOES NOT hold Sazaabi well, Sazabi is too heavy for it. The whole kit will lean forward should you put the main support stick in the usual position, like this:

I have no choice but move the main support stick to the very edge of the stand in order to stable it... sweat.gif

Cannot say like that ler, I use very basic AB set only...
Just don't want to spend too much on spray cans, long term wise really expensive me thinks  sweat.gif

yope, sometimes the spray can ended up more costly than the kit itself doh.gif

But getting an AB will encourage more kit to be bought and built...and the vicious cycle will keep continuing... sweat.gif  laugh.gif

BTW, I just realized that Sazabi ver Ka has different shade of red, and I already bought sazabi red spray can. Should I spray every red part with it or just one of the 'shade'? Don't want to buy any more red spray...

depends on your own preference. as for me, I painted it on same red (traditional color scheme of sazabi) coz i failed my initial experiment... sweat.gif

And your sazabi still look awesome. You use flat Top coat right?

Btw, can you pm me some shot of your sazabi. Tq.

sure things, today go back will dig it out and send to you.

Anyway I used semi-gloss top coat. (flat one too dull for me)

What blue does MG Qant 00 have?

Normal blue Spray Can will do?

suggest use the actual gundam blue spray itself for more striking blue. I tried use some tamiya blue before but ended up very dull looking blue.

Hi, I kinda need help from the sifus here. So I tried using a filer to sand off the nubs but after finishing it with 1000 grit and 1500 grit sandpaper, I still couldn't make it as shiny as it was. Here are some samples:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Any ideas on how to remove those scratches? I heard you can use a polishing agent but I don't know whether a car polish is considered one sweat.gif
*
if you don't plan to paint it, there's one way to minimize it (sorry, 'minimize' only)

After you had sand it to very fine, use gundam marker (red of course) and apply a little bit on the filing area. Then immediately use your thumbs to rub it off. You may repeat this step until it looks OK to your eyes.

At the same time, let's hope other sifus here share their experience thumbup.gif

The wings are heavy, but the mechanism is nice.

hm... so like other gundam with heavy back pack, it always bend to the back? (surprisingly the new Sazabi has the same problem, although minor)

@carpathia, @TheAdmiral,

Racun racun!

Ok... I was thinking to go easy with Epyon, means simply do some metallic color + matt black mix, instead of crazy shading work on it... sad.gif

I modelled this Mobile Suit during the last quarter of 2013. It was a nice grunt suit from the Gundam Universe and I really enjoy it! I've since been learning new ways to improve myself in gundam model building.

Please feel free to show me a few tricks and advice are very much appreciated.
