There are some transmitters/radios that require an antenna but mine doesn't. Other holes can also be made in the shell for modifications ie fake exhaust tips, led lights and engine cooling. There are Electric motors and also gas motors. Gas motors usually have shells that have 2 squares cut out of the front window and roof around 1.5x1.5 inch. People also do cut holes in other areas of the body shell as they see fit for their purposes. Electric motors are usually fine with just 4 body post holes provided the ekectronics arent too close to each other. Speaking of modifications, I cut out the oval part where the exhaust pipe stickers were supposed to go. No big deal but I found some chromy metal straws that I plan to use/attach to rear chassis with a small bolt to have nice exhaust tips. I haven't started on that yet, mostly trying to get it to run in a way so I dont break it too much. It turns out the shocks I currently have aren't half bad but they are still made from plastic. Trying to sort out suspension setting as a newb is confusing to say the least... |

so i got some updates on the RC car. nothing big but i can go ahead an run to some extent once i find the time. the stock shocks are still installed but i got around to gluing the hard drift tires on the aluminum rims. i ordered a 2nd set of aluminum rims and glued them. the original set got painted today but no further progress until i get the tire removal kit in. im going need to get super glue for the soft rubber tires as gorilla glue doesnt seem to work to great as i can still unseat the glued rims without too much force.
i also ordered a aluminum set of brake rotors that function as a locking/contact surface to transfer movement to the tires. one side has the pin locking (holding bearing) and the other side has the hex nut mounting surface for the rim. the plastic ones will eventually break so i got this to avoid stripped hex mounting surfaces that plastic ones could get. EDIT: i just ordered a MG Blitz Gundam. the extra details the MG kit have and its general size did the trick, my wallet will say something else later on though... apparently due to the better color separation of parts, some smaller pieces nay require a bit of glue to stay on there more securely. what is the general consensus on that? my MG Blitz came in today and im 1 step closer to a full set. thankfully the special mirage colloid version is expensive...

Phew at long last my first PG down. I'd be lying if I said it was a fun build, there was lots of very tight fitting parts and an all Japanese manual to contend with. Though I am pretty happy with the end result. Used some third parties decals as I thought the default unicorn set is a little too suble for something so big.
 Really would like to pic up a PGU RX78 next but they're impossible to get in my neck of the woods =[

I was at the store today with my son when we came across some Gunpla kits for around $12 piece. My son is starting to get into gundam so what the heck why not, so I bought a HG Barbatos Lupus Rex. It's been a good while since I built a model, probably since my early teens. It's nice i don't have to use that toxic as heck model glue anymore, I think I might to buy some more now. Question is, this was way to complicated for my son to put together (he's 6) is their a simple kit for him to be able to build?

If your son never had any experience building Gunpla before, why not starting with the EG (Entry Grade) Gundam?   The kit is both simple and great, even better than some of the old HGs. It's also dirt-cheap compared to others  .

I'm happy Bandai is releasing a weapon/armory set for MG Altron Gundam, Tallgeese II, and Deathscythe Hell. Though its obviously P-bandai.
I was about to purchase the old 100 scale Altron Gundam (TV version) to modify its wing and tail on the MG Altron but now I wont have to! GoL sure did change/add things to EW version. And the weapons Tallgeese II used on GoL would be great addition. I'm just too much of a fan of the Tallgeese. Though I didn't realize Deathscythe Hell had additional armour/weapon added when it was on GoL.
