    well I scored. I found flat, satin and gloss 4 bucks a pop. I picked up satin since that's essentially semi-gloss and gonna see how neat it is. apparently what I'd been using in the past has been enamel and explains a lot.

    20 bucks on Amazon with a month wait isn't what I call amazing either.Krylon Crystal Clear seems like a good alternative at almost half the cost and more readily available I think. I'm about out of what I use so maybe it's time to try something different!

    Well, couple packages came. my RX-77 Guncannon, GM Command unit showed up. And one of the guys in my build group reported in on a fresh stock of some new items one of them being a couple of RG Wing Zeros. So I flew like a man on a mission and picked it up along with a new bottle of Flat Red for the Sinanju since I ran out last weekend.

    Because that was the most perfect moment to re-introduce sei and they passed it along for a stupid China moment who pointlessly flew maybe 10 or 15 hours JUST to drop off stupid stuff and fly right back. Way to waste a good thing Bandai, way to go.

    most of us came across the news on the Spider-Man thread. it's good news but Sony I think also gets say on what happens with the web slinger.

    That's the place! he went photo city on that finding all kinds of stuff. how high of prices are some of these? there's a place here in portland that wanted 150 for a nightingale which we all blew off.

    Ya know what, I know this guy in my group meetings he was somewhere east coat and he posted images of this aile that was nothing but Gunpla. There were things I saw that made me go "WHAT VARIETY! THIS IS MADNESS!" It wasn't just 00, Wing, SEED etc etc. There were tons of UC kits, old and new. I wish I knew where he was cause he didn't post the location at all. It almost looked like the place we always go to in Beaverton but it sure as hell wasn't! As for what I'm looking for? I dunno. I always have a soft spot for older MG kits....they're cheap and there's a lot of playability with them. Easy to customize! OH! I also pre-ordered the Side Stories RX-80-PR Heavy Equip type. That thing just looks amazing.

    Yes, spots, there's several. In Beaverton there's a Tammie's Hobbies and a Things From Another World. There's another Things from Another World in downtown Portland and Oregon City. There's a Hobbytown USA in Clackamas and in Wilsonville. There's also a Barnes & Noble but I never seen them there but others have. There's also a place called Guardians & Games in downtown Portland that periodically sells Gunpla. Problem with most of these places is they pick a lot of the same things again and again cause they think that's all there is. So I tend to see a lot of BF/T models, some unicorn and SEED and Wing kits. I like variety of all kinds but mostly never see that. Amazon I picked up HGUC 1/144 GM Command, RX-77D GunCannon, RGM-79 Powered GM, RGM-86R GM III, GM II and NT-Alex. There's kind of a theme there but threw a few items in for kicks. This one is mostly mass production mobile suits. Right now I'm doing paint application on a GM Custom which is a slow go.

    Wow I didn't find squat! All the normal spots I go to were picked clean. I did however start working on my Sinanju and I'm not to happy with the results. I did a proper 2:1 ratio mix of black and after it dried it kind of has a faded look to it. So as I did some of my red parts I used only a couple of drops of thinner and sprayed. Maybe it's just the fact it's a flat color but it to had a though present, yet slightly faded look to itself as well. Also kinda spotty which means something isn't right with the brush. I had to stop for the day cause my light is natural outdoors and it was pouring hard and getting into the garage. So I did a big cleaning job on the air brush and hope that helps tomorrow. For now, I guess I'm doing a big purchase on Amazon.

    I'm going Gunpla hunting in a few minutes. aiming mostly for HG kits cause it's cheaper and get more out of your buck. But wouldn't mind stumbling upon a few MG's along the way. I finished priming my Sinanju last night which turned out well. When I get home in a few hours I'll start working on the paint job and at least get the black parts done and ready to go.
  11. Hikuro
    haha honestly, that should be something given with every purchase not just some lucky draw deal but that's japan for you. I put in an order for hopefully authentic gunpla decals for my HG sinanju and with that I have a question cause I doubt it'll be present on my decals. Is there any kind of application guide for them? I don't wanna just guess and be wrong.
  12. Hikuro
    Yeah it's a HGBF, but right now, the CAD design doesn't show anything other than the fact that it's a straight out Full Cloth HGUC. Paint scheme is even the same.
  13. Hikuro
    This just in, repeat this just in. HGUC Full Cloth and RG 00 Raiser are now up for preorder on HLJ. http://www.hlj.com/product/ban996431 <<<<<Crossbone http://www.hlj.com/product/ban996427 <<<<<<00 Raiser
  14. Hikuro
    K that one is rather funny.
  15. Hikuro
    Didn't like it to much. Opened up well like others but it went downhill in excitement after that.
  16. Hikuro
    Even I'm curious to see how this'll turn out. I did a light coat, just enough that it doesn't completely cover the parts, but enough that it won't damage the parts or thicken to the point there's no more detail. I still got another big batch of Red armor pieces, then the black....I don't know how I'll do the yellow but I got a pretty good idea for the bigger pieces. This'll be the first completely repainted kit using the air brush too. HLJ is also putting pre-orders up on the RE 1/100 GP04 and HG Origins Char Zaku II. Couldn't pass on either of those, they'll be hot. Those seem to come out in April.

    Indeed. I have yet to decide if I'm going to just give it a matte color or if I shall titaniumize it or whatever. Chances are, Flat Red, flat Black Flat Yellow. Because I got lots of it. He was on the wrong forum. it meant to be on the figure thread.
  18. Hikuro
    ok my clips came! this is so awesome why have I not used these before!
  19. Hikuro
    oh no I just meant the V-Dash. Hi-Nu VRabe comes out 2/18 for us. Likewise on the Z3, I may get the Wing Zero next week I'm not sure. I wanna wait until there's another Wing release but we'll see.
  20. Hikuro
    looks like in March.
  21. Hikuro
    Weapon systems are always nice, but I've also been super picky on my weapons too....there were some I'd probably buy eventually depending on the design. Sadly it seems I'll have to traditionally kit bash the Stargazer/X Gundam design which I'm not even sure how I'll go about that either.
  22. Hikuro
    hm.....crap guess that means I'm not gonna get those again. hobbystore by work sold them for about 4 bucks a bag and never restocked again after they were all gone so that should of raised a red flag, except they hardly ever restock.
  23. Hikuro
    K so I wanna do a kit bash kinda. I wanted to take a Stargazer and the backpack of the X Maoh. Problem is the backpack has a rectangular open port and the stargazer is a 3 peg open port so it's just nothing to connect too. I remember last year there were gunpla parts that were Marked A-F I think. Each one came with a weapon and optional parts to help mix and match limbs and backpacks. Problem is, I can't find them nor can I remember what they were exactly called. I do remember they came in bags like the action base stands. Anyone remember these?

    just finished my custom Jesta with heavy battle wear. I call it the final battle jesta as this pilot has been dodging, scraping, and fighting his way to the end but who knows if he'll actually survive! I used Tamiya weathering soot, a grey and black panel wash and a ton of dry brushing to really emphasize the paint scratching away.
  25. Hikuro
    all I can say is painting is gonna be a bitch even for my comfort level I don't wanna screw these up.
