I only picked it back up again last year and started to take it more seriously from there on picking up new skills on the way. I posted 2-3 sample pics of my more plain simple clean build on page 596. Don't think the mods would quite like me to keep on spamming the same pics. But I might repost some new pics when I fixed up the thrusters for the MG unicorn :D |

indeed, there are very nice ppl here, that's why I keep looking at this thread even if it isn't at its peak (when 00 was still airing).
So the HGUC Messala is a fake then? Btw, what does it mean when you say "primer"? Please take into consideration that I'm not from the USA so I'm not familiar with all the words :) Last but not least, which spray top coat do you guys recommend that doesn't eat decals and is available at HLJ ? What about metallic spray paints? |
Yeah have to agree. Internet helps out big time for info. Remembering back thinking i new everything about putting one together now i look at the ones i did and they turned out ok but i could of done better. Now i got back into it since i have seen the Master grades and I'm hooked. So now I'm doing them the right way with putty, primer, sanding airbrushing. All in all this is probably the most i have spend on a hobby that i like doing. All because of the internet. With the information with people on this forum being nice enough to share their idea's i can't ask for anything more. It opened way more idea's that i can use and maybe share with others when i know a few tips and tricks. Thanks a bunch.

I heard it was preorder only? (the bazooka)

sigh..., i wish they would make a model kit of Exia's prototype design the "GN-001 Pawn Gundam",:heh:
seriously, that thing looks freaking badass!!, the designs!, the designs!, the GN cables are nearly everywhere on its body!, the awsome GN cables running through-out its body!!..... Pawn Gundam & its GN cables!!! arghhh!!!......:heh: man, i wish Bandai aproves Pawn Gundam....... |
I finished my MG Gelgoog 2.0 today, i put on a few decals and painted most of the kit except the pink (light red, as Char would call it) I had a hard time finding the right tone of red for the pink area so i just left it un painted and i added a little grey to some areas i thought looked a bit plain like the chest and the exhaust vents around the mid section. I also cut out the fingers so each one will move what ever way its likes. Im pretty happy with the quality of this kit, it was my first Gelgoog MG and i think the 2.0 is just awesome, but i was a lot happier with the Zaku 2.0 I think i did a far better job on it. Time for pics:D Sorry for the bad quality of the pics i only have my iphone camera so it dont work to well indoors.
Spoiler for MG Gelgoog 2.0 Char Custom Color:

I'm not from USA either :p. Anyhow "primer" ensures paint adheres better to the surface you're applying to. It also increases paint durability. Also it's used as a way to check for any modelling errors such as gaps left out from filling or uneven surface areas. But if you're not confident yet with re-painting you're models you can skip the primer bit and just finish it with topcoat. As for which topcoat. Gunze Mr Topcoat from HLJ most user friendly for paint and decals (blue can with yellow writing). What do you mean what about metallic spray paints? What kind of question are you asking? Not very clear on it. If you're after recommended, it all boils down to personal prefernce as there's so many brands, but I personally stick to Tamiya products. Hope that helps. Quote:

I see, thanks for all the tips once again, Jaycee. Where are you from, by the way?
The pawn exia looks good, it really isn't that different from the finished product, if 00 was succesful enough, it isn't impossible to think about an eventual MG special ver with all the cables (after all, the light-violet stickers on the legs of the 1/144 EXIA seems like GN cables for me). I really liked that Gelgoog 2.0. Good job, vektar. |

Fast forward to the start of 00 second season. Hung around this thread a tab too much and saw for myself how much model kits had improved so I got myself a GNX-III and it just snowballed from then out. :p Currently working on Sinaju..13th model since my revival. :uhoh: Quote:

(One of the reasons I want the R2 is because it has no external cables.) |
I personally like the external cables, so I'd like that model kit to be made.
|
Honestly i dont like them my self, before i decided to wait for the MG exia i was planing on not putting on the cables if i had bought the kit.
