    That might be interesting actually. Considering some of the off the wall characters in the comic books.

    so thought to myself I've taken a few days off of Gunpla after a 3 day weekend of hammering some kits last week so I grabbed one I've had sitting around since February and that's my 7th Gundam. Low and behold........no instructions. None. I'll have to get it online which I don't like doing at all.

    Woah, that's a kick in the balls.

    Although technically not CW, it is Arrow Related. Stephen Amell is finally making an appearance on WWE Raw after 3 months of being hickled by Star Dust since the end of May. Will Amell accept the challenge and face off with Star Dust? Or will he finally say "Dude, STFU and go to bed you dreamer."

    yeah that's kinda what I wanna do to my GP-01.....destroy the Fing thing.

    No more bubblegum and no more kicking ass.

    We were looking at this at work last week, and we all agreed that we don't get what this film is about. Is this like some kind of a coming of age story? I heard and judging from the looks of the trailer is about right that all the backgrounds are actual shooting locations with minor touch ups which makes sense cause the animation models don't fit AT ALL.

    I've seen like the LED set sold separately after researching but they're long gone and out of production. Just curious if a 3rd party group replicated them or if there was a tutorial out there on how to make your own. But alas it looks like it's a lost cause!

    Okay! So I finally got to cave in and I bought my first MG version Ingram unit 1. I've done just a few things to the build so far like assembled the right arm and painted the Noa figurine. I really want to amp this sucker up some more and wanted to ask if there were any after market accessories similar to the patlamp you can really only find on the Unit 2 editions. For me it just wouldn't feel right without adding the kind of a gimmick to this model.

    wow, improper transformation, and a nasty looking Shogo Yahagi. So far, I am unimpressed.

    Full on dirty, gritty pre-shade custom GM Command type. Was a big success in the build group meet up tonight.

    I just need some better hand control to get the LED more centered. I had to fiddle with the light so it fit better when closing up the Gundam. Now I'm just gonna LED all the things I wanna LED then bring it to my gunpla club tomorrow and go "ALL THE THINGS!"

    K, well recently well more like 2 months now I've been really pissed off over the fact that Bandai LED's have gone up in price and that you wait and you wait and almost half the time t hey don't work well. Then there's the fact the freaking 00 Raiser MG needs like a dozen of these! Not too mention some of the colors you want are P Bandai exclusive and the aftermarket stuff is just as nasty in price! So, bought 300 LED's, some CR1220 housing and switches, got out my soldering iron I've had and NEVER used. at first I was like "Is this seriously gonna work?" but then I was like "HOLY CRAP IT WORKED!" finally was like "Did I just hear the final fantasy level up song?"

    I saw the film again with a co worker today and we both agreed this is far and above better than the third and fourth films and I still left fairly satisfied. Sadly though I wanted to see this with the girlfriend during my visit this weekend but looks like it'll be pulled from theaters after tomorrow.

    Roiiight lets just sell a color scheme about a thousand others have already done at a premium.

    The Dendrobium? It'll be a while....probably in August. I wanna start getting use to pre-shading and possibly post-shading before I do it. For 300 bucks I really want this kit to look more like a piece of art than a snap together model. That's why I'm taking the really cheap models I got and practicing off of those. I think I got the general idea on it now but still....practice practice! I remember the test sample paper, but don't got it anymore, my box was thrown out as trash by accident. I looked on the iwata website and they don't mention anything about how to do it. So I'll be trying out some of the ideas I saw on youtube this weekend to get it going.

    I'm using an Eclipse HP-CS. I did panel line it, enamel wash after clear coating, makes the paint flow better from the tip of my paint brush after watering it down with lighter fluid. According to Iwata's website, my brush should be able to achieve hairline spray coloring and up to 2 inch covering. What i need to do is figure out how to get that hairline to show up and I've been watching a few youtubers doing it in different ways. 1 guy removed the top nozzle bit, got super up close pressing down the trigger to get the air flowing and the paint mixing then barely pulled the trigger back and just did it nice and slow. He got a pretty good straight narrow solid line from it all. I also realized I have smoke paint, I smacked myself this evening when I realized I could of just been using this the entire time I was airbrushing the pre-shade cause that was EXACTLY what I bought that color for. Cleaning my next kit which is the RGM-79G Command Ground type. I wanna get this sucker prepped before the gunpla meet up this weekend. Shouldn't be difficult as it's on a saturday evening and it only takes me half the days worth of time to paint and clear coat.

    It's finished. The shield came out as the best part of the whole job. But I don't think gray was a good option with the white top coat, I should of just stayed black on it all and it would of worked out a lot better. I did kind of figure out the pressure problem and had it topping 12-15 psi which is good, real good! Kit came out alright, it's a keeper, just not what I would of wanted it to look like at all. I still gotta figur out how to get that thin line.
  20. Hikuro
    It's just the colors from the camera that make it look that way. The colors for the white were actually way to light and pretty much vanished by the time I did the main colors. The ONLY pre shading piece that worked the way it should of was the red....that came out great i think. I really need a dullcoat can pretty badly so I can finish this mold up. Sadly it looks to of gone missing.
  21. Hikuro
    Trying my hand at present shading which I'm iffy on. I guess you really need an airbrush with a MAC valve or something. I kept the PSI as low as I could by just blowing air before pulling the trigger back on a thinned black and neutral gray. So? Do I pass?
  22. Hikuro
    You know, there's a point where an anime looks cool and thrilling and you wanna watch it and then there's the live action adaption of that same thing trying to do it all over and it looks like C R A P This is that movie.
  23. Hikuro
    You're kidding right? Cause I thought it was brilliantly done and made a lot more sense on how he was even able to get into Zeon.
  24. Hikuro
    And the interesting thing about it are upgradable parts. It looks like that 1:100 is a MG and yet we never saw anything saying IT IS a master grade. This could be a unique exo frame for parts swapping to make the barbatos cooler looking and add a neat flare to those who wanna make their own style. I'm interested but I'm iffy on the series in general cause there's not much to know. But I'm ok with the MS designs.

    Saw the trailer, it lacks haro
