hahaah....good one

Hope the MG Wing Zero Ver Ka will be similar like the Metal Build version.......Not bad if like that........

It should be 100% identical in terms of looks.

Anyways, the new kits are incoming

Anyone tried 3d printing their own mobile suit before ?
Looks like a lot of work and im not sure how this guy smoothen the parts ? since i thought 3D parts are not smooth

I also interested to start 3D printing but it gonna take me some time to start from 0 learning how to 3D modelling then invest a printer.

Hi to all the Sifus,

I need help and guide on how to top coat. I am currently just using Gundam markers (GM01~03) and some pour type Gundam markers (301p~303p) for panel lining and applying water decals. What are the recommended top coats that I should use? I know there's a choice of Mr Hobby Top Coat and Mr Super Clear and the Samurai brand.

I'm thinking of upgrading to using Tamiya Panel Line Accent in the future and from my understanding that is enamel based, so what top coats should I use if I start using this?

Thank you for all the replies!

making the model from scratch is going to take a lot of time, not to mention time taken to print and prime those parts for painting.

You need to decide what king of finishing you want ( glossy? matte? semi gloss?) then you buy the paint.
Tamiya panel line works with any top coat, so dont worry.

See video below on how to apply top coat

Hi All,
I'm quite new to gunpla. Just picked up this hobby since Corona Lockdown started.
Looking for a Ver Ka as my next kit. Can I have some suggestions if y'all don't mind?

I don't mind if it is more complex or time consuming. Just would like one kit that does not have parts falling off when playing with it.
Or is that a wrong mindset to have, please don't hold back. Let me know!

Thank you thank you

This is my 3D printed Gundam Mask, easier to breathe the whole day..

If you dont mind waiting, then go for upcoming release the MG Wing Zero EW Ver Ka. Release in November/December.

Thank you. Definitely looking forward to get that as my first wing gundam.

while waiting, MG zaku ii 2.0 and MG sniper 2 are excellent kits. very solidly build and very affordable too. these are the two i like to mess around the most. they just stay together whatever pose you try to put them on. no large backpack is a plus too.

If you want complexity while on a budget, go for RG kits. Not very poseable though, sometimes I moved the legs but the arms fell off . Mine was early RG kits though, I heard newer kits have improved on this.

Good one haha...Mind share some tips where to begin with 3D printing?

Always thought of getting a Zaku II 2.0. Just not sure which version to get. Thank you for your suggestion!

I've tried a few Recent RG Kits and compared it to RG 00 Raiser( I would say middle RG line?) definitely the newer ones are completely different and much improved.

Must be a ver. KA models?

FAZZ is the latest from KA..or else unicorn gundam with a lot of variation (Full armor, banshee, normal)...U can check out dalong.net for most of the available gundam.......

Actually any MG suggestion is much appreciated if you have

I would highly suggest Nu Ver Ka.. one of the absolute BEST MG kits I have ever had the pleasure of building.. so well designed with the new technology and the soft inner frame.. fantastic kit.. only weakness is the funnels

New Gundam Plutone looks good but premium bandai

There are many websites which provide open source models to practice 3D printing models, you can check them out: www.thingiverse.com , www.myminifactory.com. Additionally, for a beginner planning to get a 3D printer, you can join in various local 3D printing community on FB in Malaysia. Most of them are very helpful in advising you on getting the proper printers. Nevertheless, most of the users would provide very good support on how to service and maintain one's 3D printer as well.

You can also check out my website as well, www.formventor.com for further reference of what I've done locally for the different market applications using 3D printing tech.

Cheers!
