    can't believe I"m actually almost caught up on my stuff HAH! I got my RG Zeta Gundam and MG Tallgeese left and that's it.....until the Hi-Nu Vrabe comes out this month. But I just finished my MG Deathscythe ver Ka and eh, it's okay. You can tell they've made a lot of changes between it's release and the others as I think the Wing Gundam Ver Ka and Deathscythe were the first. rub on transfers I didn't bother with this time cause they were really sensitive and lost 2 already from trying. Also finished my Lightning Gundam with booster pack but I'm gonna wait before I apply soot to it to give it my model damage level c look. Next I think I'll work on Zeta as I swing away from Wing for a little while.

    I got these model master mixing jars and long eye dropper deals today, closest thing I could get in my area, so that'll help.

    Automata comes to mind.

    Yep, that's the guy I was right! Go Fing figure, what IS IT about this guy that gets used in all of Blomkamp's films?! I don't remember seeing him in the ALIEN 5 concept sketchs!

    is it just me or the voice of choppy sound like the guy who was in dis. 9 and Elysium? ugh I can't remember his name right now! character name in 9 I think was Vickus?

    comes with regular stickers like any other kit. and yeah web exclusive for water slides. I'm rather surprised that bandai has no offered the water slide optional sets but maybe they will after the 2nd release of the kit.

    My evening so far has been learning how the mix ratio since I'll mostly be working on Tamiya or Mr Color for now on....Course with Tamiya ya either got gloss or you got flat where as Mr Color their items specifically aimed at gunpla are semi gloss. I guess in the end it really doesn't matter what you choose so long as it comes out nice and you matte spray it in the end right? I did see a rotating paint stand but I didn't want to pay 30 bucks for it so passed that over. Nor did I find anything I could use to safely and effectively use to mix paint and thinner together....I didn't wanna put it in the cup and stir it scratching up the chrome, that'd be a pain in the ass. I've also been going over my Tallgeese and collecting all the information I need to create a nice TV style appearance....I didn't realize they changed so many things color wise from the designer colors from the anime color pallette that's sorta odd to me. I don't wanna get to ahead of myself though I still got until next wed. before I can even do anything.

    Not a bad day, found a MG Deathscythe for my Wing collection and the box was damaged so they discounted it 5 bucks, that's not a bad deal. Also since it was said always carry 2, I managed to find a bottle of the German Gray XF-63, a brush I retooled for dry brushing and a new black Gundam marker. Then when I got home I get a nice little package waiting at the front step and taaaaddaaa
  10. Hikuro
    Well the iwata brush got pushed back due to a delay by the delivery truck, this is the 2nd package from UPS this week that's been delayed and the only reason I can think why is because the last 2 days we've had heavy fog with extremely low visibility. The compressor just shipped yesterday so I'm gonna think it won't show up until middle of next week.

    OKAY! My weather makeup came in, I love it! Everything went better than I had expected. So here's a sample of what I was doing before application... Here's what it came to after application....big differences! I think the head really came out well.... After that I dry brushed the kit which was a nice touch, matte sprayed, then took a rotary tool which sadly was missing a piece and I just went over a couple of areas then with the gundam weathering pen went over the damaged spots. It didn't go as well as I'd of liked, but some areas like on the shield and the head I think looked great. http://s6.photobucket.com/user/Hikuro/media/Gunpla/image6_zps37d4da5a.jpeg.html?sort=3&o=4

    first thing popping in my mind when I watched this morning.
  13. Hikuro
    I still think it's boring and pointless after half the season has been aired. lots of wasted fluff going around
  14. Hikuro
    Yep it certainly is a beast..........................of possibilities. It looks great in any mode. Next weekend I change it back to unicorn. Alright.....well....I went the hobbytown joint by work, all they had for me to look at was an Aztek, and for 200 dollars I just laughed and said "No". They won't be getting any new stock until 2 weeks from now. Christmas I guess kicked their asses inventory wise, which is true, they got the less appealing Gunpla kits out there. So my grocery list consisted of the following online: Iwata HP CS 1/5 HP Master Airbrush Tank Compressor Zippo Lighter Fluid XF-63 German Gray (This is for the Tallgeese to get the anime look right) Tamiya Acrylic Thinner Tamiya Weathering Sets A-F So grand total of 310 dollars. Most of this stuff I'm not even gonna see until next week....well except the Weathering set and the Iwata, those come in thursday I think.
  15. Hikuro
    ....you guys didn't make it any easier to decide lol

    I guess I could see Scarlett doing it. I dunno. I'm really just waiting to see who's what and then watch George Takei explode again.

    badger and iwata seem to be the badass choices from what I've read review wise, but it's out of my budget honestly. a good strong compressor would be nice and yeah save time having multiple uses out of it but the noise would be an issue as the garage and living room are very close together and it would annoy family. I have a paint box in my wish list, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B2TESUQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1420472457&sr=8-1Ï€=AC_SY200_QL40 think I'll probably go with that since it lights up and there's a lot of poor lighting in this garage this would help a ton.

    Okay....so here's what I'm thinking http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KJDXHQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A23ADOZFIJNPFB and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BJFHAW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A23ADOZFIJNPFB

    crap that's spendy equipment. the wash is just mostly accenting more than weathering I got other stuff to do the weathering. for right now what I'm using is just stock no extra painting on a krylon matte clear coat, enamel washed and enamel thinner to wipe off excess. in the near future I wanna get more heavy into it with what your suggesting.
  20. Hikuro
    Okay so out of curiousity, I can't afford an Iwata....not gonna happen right now. But for a rather inexpensive but good start up for someone who wants to air brush, what would be the safest bet?
  21. Hikuro
    I went to the hobby store a good hour from home and looked around, I really didn't find anything it was a bummer like they were completely picked clean since before christmas and never bothered to restock, even supplies were virtually gone. I managed to pick up some Testors Enamel thinner Flat black and silver so I can start testing out enamel washes. But kind of nervous to do it.

    I finished the MG Astray, there's a LOT of parts left over and no instructions at all on what to do with them, extra feet and misc stuff all together. But I'm a bit disappointed in this kit. While the mobile suit form is fine, I'd of at least liked that damn proper backpack still, the one for the giant sword in general is a joke. I hate the big ass sword and leave it to seed designed mobile suits to even have such a ridiculous thing! Also the fact that 90% of this kit is rub on transfer in areas that would be extremely difficult and taxing for me to put on....I mean curved areas?! K'mon! After I finished the giant backpack clinging sword I ended up flicking the antenna off the head and it disappeared for a good 20 minutes....I ended up gluing that sucker in place so it won't happen again and stuffed the whole thing in my display case IN THE BACK. At least I got the replacement parts for the Strike Freedom RG.....aaannnnddd I lost another piece, like lost lost, vanished. One of the red pieces of trim for the wings went poof. So I just tucked that entire wing section to the back so it won't be noticed. Maybe I'll sticker it up tomorrow or just stuff it in the box and forget all about it's existence. I'm just done with SEED kits, no more of this crap.

    actually I liked the MG banshee it was more solid. pg unicorn is a great kit. some spots were to tight like in the hips joints, and those nibs that have to be poking out of the torso in destroy mode.

    Well I'm done with the body after all the frustrations of the panel lining. I honestly don't think I've EVER, EVER gone through this much attention to detail to accent the panels and get as much out of my markers as possible. I'm probably gonna need new ones they're starting to bleed a bit. But this is my favorite shot right now... Kept Lowe in his Manga form rather his OVA clothes.
  25. Hikuro
    Yeah, 100 bucks for that thing is a joke. I'd understand if it were Gold frame, or Blue Frame originals...but Red Frame? K'mon : / At least the fingers are easy to paint white....just used a paint marker and a little detail brush to get the plates colored on and after 3 coats look good.
