  1. I just had to check the first page if this had actually started as a papercraft model...
  2. No need to bomb the room with paint. When I paint small parts like Gundam limbs, a 30 x 40 cm sheet of paper is sufficient to avoid getting paint on my desktop. So there is, IMO, no need for an industrial grade fan, especially if you stick to acrylics.
  3. Exactly like that. Hobby Japan propagated it as the "Max technique" in the earlier years of gunpla, where Max Watanabe would start with a black base coat and gradually build up layers of white upon that, but I think it works better (and easier) with the colors not too far apart. It gives a nice structure to otherwise plain surfaces without looking overly weathered, and you can achieve interesting shifting of colors.
  4. ^ Whoa, you started a Macross factory? - I try to achieve an outlandish look for my Anubis with negative shading: After lots of prep work, it's starting to come together...
  5. Hi kajnrig, nice to see you over here. My advice: Save the HGs and the 19 for later and get an airbrush I've been using a single-action Badger 350 for all my work - available for around 40$, and it will change your modeling life forever...
  6. Interesting, I completely missed Iczer 1 - and while it's not a clear clone, I wonder if Gundam Portent's color scheme is a pure coincidence: Also, look at this: http://ryugassj3.deviantart.com/art/Iczer-Robo-Character-Model-by-Obari-Real-489432328
  7. The Ghost has some wicked shapes on it, I do not envy you for working it all out!
  8. Well, the landing pads have to double-function as the lower compressors, so they need to be big...
  9. Quite substantially bigger, if you ask me:
  10. Hmm, shouldn't the packs have the same footprint as the top surface of the engines at the rear end?
  11. The other guy's machine gets a kit, too: http://www.1999.co.jp/blog/img/20150925omochi29.jpg
  12. Tenjin cover Illustration for the Super M spotted: http://www.1999.co.jp/blog/img/20150925hasega41.jpg
  13. The quality of their kits/toys is doubtlessly high, but those prices will get you a 1/48 Hase kit.
  14. That is great news! Let Hasegawa handle all the fighters and Bandai the Battroids & Zentraedi stuff. Wave can finally produce their 1/100 Monster...
  15. "Monster", the blueprint for this outstanding movie, is on Vimeo:
  16. You can also go for the more affordable plastic kit: http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-2/壽屋-發售日未定:模型《metal-gear-solid》rex人型/
  17. Pictures of these kits can be found on the Revell Germany page: http://www.revell.de/en/products/star-wars/star-wars-episode-vii.html Let's say they're in the tradition of MPC's line of Star Wars kits.
  18. One of the earliest Missile Massacres has to be the Soviets firing a dozen missiles at Gary Powers' U2 and downing one of their MiGs in the process.
  19. Kotobukiya's Sahelanthropus plastic kit: http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-2/壽屋-發售日未定:模型《metal-gear-solid》rex人型/
