I think the unit 5 is the rumored black Astray.I wonder what it unique feature is,look same to me.I guess look can be deceiving,I wonder how will a PG Blue Frame second L turn out.That thing can barely stand on it own.

Black Gundams have always been my cup of tea.


Please do come true!

I hope they'll include the red astray's flight pack. That actually looks pretty good...

Whats B Club?

[OlivNite]

I have a quick question, im thinking about buying unicorn gundam...
What will happen if I try to paint the clear pink plastic over with another clear color like green or blue... will it affect the color or not?
I just want to make sure, since I cant afford to test it out and have something happen.
... thanks!

Well if you paint over the paint meant for clear parts it will probably be a clear of that color. Now if you paint over with a regular paint then it wont be clear anymore because of the primer and what not.

It will still be clear, if you use clear paint.
I love the Unicorn, buy eet!
Although poseblity is kind of bad since it can transform.

I believe they are another manufactuer that make their own gundam kits. They modify them to make them look better. Fixing what Bandai didnt. I think.

B Club is a subsidiary of Bandai which produces resin model kits, which while of a higher detailing quality than the usual model kit fare is rather expensive.

Its also requires a lot more skills to build because it comes one solid color usually a tan or brownish and is not snap together and on some older ones not sure about now you need to trim away some left over resin around the edges of the part.

Its okay, buying it mostly for asthetic purposes....
I just wasnt so fond of the clear pink plastic so i thought i might make it clear blue or clear green.
I just thought it would affect the clear blue/green color, since the plastic is clear pink... so thanks for those who replied =]

dont forget the color rule, if say you paint it clear blue you might end up with purple, green and red youll end up with a yellow

You can say B-Club is for advance level modellers where as Bandai Gunpla is for beginner to intermediate level.

But if you want to try some Professional Grade(TM) kits, search out G-System.

I mean, how long are you going to guage yourself to put together the following :-


A 1/35 EX-S. Complete with paint jobs and effects.

[Okamidum]

Holy cow.....thats ridiculous. I'd love to have one...and id tak forever to finish haha.

[vbann]

Holy S!@#

Thats a perfect-perfect grade!
I wonder how much that thing costs, a PG Dedrobium would be almost just as big

[Okamidum]

Probably like a grand or something close. It's pretty!

[Scavenger]

I'd like to put my hands on a B-Club Sadaluud, but it's expensive. But then again the creator has put a lot of effort to it so the price is justified. http://www.hlj.com/product/BCL2844

I placed my first order at Rainbow Ten.

Saves money, but the e-mail system is kinda a hassle. The Dynames serves as Rasiel parts because I'm sick of making joints in putty. Now I have to think of something to make with the Dynames parts... Maybe a Astray+Dynames+Buster Gundam mashup.

I have a thinner now that can sorta remove enamel without harming plastic, but if you use too much it will. I destroyed an Astraea torso a few days ago by using too much thinner to clean the part, but luckily I had a spare Astraea torso somewhere. Damn you Mr Color Thinner.

1/100 Green Frame Boxart


HG Garazzo Boxart

[Spitfire]

I see the Green Frame box art is just as boring as the rest of the CE 1/100's. I would have thought they would have gone the route of the 00 1/100 kits and shown it in action.

US$2200. Without shipping.

And steal the boxart limelight from their MG series ? Not on their watch. And the boxart of the 1/100 OO S2 kit is still weak.
