Maybe you were playing with it to much and it got loose. or perhaps you did something wrong while putting it together, like not pushing the pieces in place tightly. The only thing i can think of it take that part apart and stick a TINY amount of clay into the groove and then put it back together. That's only a one time trick though. if you move it after that the clay will break apart. |

whooo...the Turn A got a 104 from Dalong. Anyone who got the kit care to share if its worth the money? personally, i think the design isnt spectacular, but the simplicity of it is quite appealing.

Guys, I'm not so gone on model kits, to be honest. I had a few and they were fun to build, but they fall to pieces when I try to pack them.
I'm honestly thinking of getting into MSIA and other Gundam figures. I know they're not as detailed; but some of them are quite cool. Mainly the Turn A, and there's a Zaku that looks decent. Can anyone name me some non-model kit Gundams that don't suck? I'd love to build up a bit of a collection. |

The box art is quite cool...except the background. It needs some works
|
anyone have any pics or know where to find some pics of gunpla painted all white?
|
Maybe I moved it too much

People seem to think that the rough art seen in conventions is the final box, especially for a product that's months away from release (heard the same comments for the MG Freedom, MG Strike Freedom, MG Strike Noir, HG Kerberos BuCUE and HGUC GM Striker boxarts when they were first shown... and each and everytime the FINAL boxart is always more refined and different from what was shown previously) . |
Ok, so since the engineering of the new Zaku is so friggin nice, I decided to experiment and try building one of these suckers without painting it (in the traditional sense of painting the thing) I did use paint for the mono eye, drybrushing, and the fade. I do not count the clear coats that I used as paint since it's still using the base molded colore bandai gives us.
Normal sanding techniques were used. To get the fun little texture to the kit, I used your run of the mill solvent model glue. In this case, I used Mr Cement deluxe from Gunze Sangyo. I just brushed on the glue using the supplied applicator and then took an old tooth brush and scrubed the surface until the glue was dry. The process is fairly quick. Then I let the parts sit over night so that the glued surfaces cure properly. Taking a 150 grit sanding pad, I just sanded the surface to smooth out things a bit and when done, I had a nice little roughed up surface. The entire build process can be seen here: http://gamerabaenre.com/no_paint_zaku2_0_progress.htm I'm not done with the project yet, I still need to build the weapons. |
Just wondering, anyone know the actual difference between the normal Tamiya Cement and the Tamiya Extra Thin Cement?
The extra thin cement is very hard to get in Sydney Aust... |
I'm new with model kits and I was wondering if they are not painted what paint should i use? Where can I get this paint? ( I live in New York) If I were to clean the model what should I use to avoid damage to it?
