Its been awhile since I built a Gundam kit, I finally decided to get another kit.
Who are some good aftermarket firms for detailing?
What type of paint is best?
Best way to build?
It depends on what you want. For AM parts I direct you to www.starshipmodeler.com and www.mechaskunk.com
For paint that is your option. Depends on what is avaliable where you are. I use model masters enamel paints personally.
Best way to build, is the same way as always for a gundam kit. read instructions a few times, open all the peg holes slightly so it can be taken appart. Fit it together make sure you know what goes where. Build dependant parts, like joints and such, then build the rest, fix the seams, prime, paint, clear coat, decal, clear coat.
Hey EDI, welcome aboard.
For AM parts, I use either Wave or Kotobukiya/Modeling Support Goods.
I get mine from Hobby Link Japan:
but I think Starship Modeler caries some of the Wave option parts.
Good Luck - CJ
Hi ED, I’m relatively new to the forum as well. Also started doing Gundams again as well. Im currently in the middle of building my 1/100 MG Shin Musha Gundam, Currently in the Priming Phase. Just a question for anyone who knows. Do people actually post threads of their current model theyre making? Like step by step pictures?
Most definatly! You will see them with the shorthand thingy ‘WIP’ work in progress, in their title
Ohh Ok, Thanks! I was realllly into Computer Case Modding a few years back, I’m currently looking for a forum to post my work in. I mainly do Gundams / Anime Figures, Is this the right place to be? I mainly saw a bunch of military / startrek stuff xD
well you can see there are gundam fans here (look at my sig and avatar and such) Were just less active.
Thats funny because I was looking at case modding and such, thinking it was cool
Case modding is very cool, and very expensive =o. I am a memeber of www.thebestcasescenario.com. Very awesome forum for case modding. I have a thread in there with a current case mod I have on hold. I also just started a thread on here for my Shin Musha =D
So if I build a RX-79G, will you knock the head off it?
Nah, wont knock the head off of it, Ill most likley just hang from some rocks.
Here’s the RX-79[G] Ez8 I did about four years ago(last one I built) done in a Eastern European camo.
DAMN MY OBSESION!!!
don’t mean to nit-pick, but the stripe you have on the left side of the chest goes on the left shoulder. other than that, your Ez-8 is kick@$$.
