lol I haven't built a 1/144 HG in a long time, I built like maybe 3 of them then just bought 1/100 HGs. MGs are really fun, never built PG yet hope to one day if they release a really awesome Katoki Freedom :)

Btw does anyone know what kinda spray they use to give the plastic that texture in one of the links posted a page back or so?

My first ever model was a MG

which I ruined HARD since I used sandpaper to file down the things scratching up the bloody thing

exactly. thuse a waste of money that could be usde to buy a later MG model.

Texture? You mean the grey color that you usually have under the paint? If that's what you mean then it's the primer to make the paint adhere properly (so you don't rub it off when touching the kit.

You can prime kits in a great variety of colors depending on the final finish you want. Most of the time I prime my kits white or grey since it's a fairly neutral color. Some use black primer because they want to shade the parts (around panel lines for example).

How come? Because you made mistakes and screwed it up? :oh

You can't judge a model from that.

Sanding dosen't ruin the plastic, at least not if you plan on painting it. I go at kits like this:

Cut all parts from the sprue.

Clean all the parts from residue from the spure.

Clean the parts in a bath overnight.

Dry the parts.

Prime them.

Paint them the intended color.

Put a coat or two of future floor finish over the paint (to protect it).

Put on a wash (for panel lines).

Another coat of future or final coat of gloss / flat clear to seal everything and get the finish you want on the kit.

take a bath? so submerge all the pieces? whats the point in doing that? arent they already clean? anyhow, seems like so much work and i had a hard time taking my time doing panel lines. didnt do any of the finish stuff. ah well. it was a good 20hrs.

Mindless

01-29-2007, 04:35 PM

When they mold the parts they have a solvent in the molds so that you can take out the sprue without breaking anything. Some of this may be left and prevent paint from properly adhering to the kit.

Usually primer is enough to solve this but sometimes it's good to clean it before primer too.

20 hours for panel lines? Wow. It's a matter of minutes maybe an hour or two if I include drying times.

A model straight out of the box for me takes week or two for me. The latest one however took a few months because of extensive modifications.

Gonna work on my Nissan 300ZX now.

what was ur latest model btw?

300ZX? the actual car or a model?

Oh, thought it sounded alot.

My latest model was a Ver.Ka RX-78-2 with some modding.

As for the 300ZX. I wish it was a real car but the truth is it's a 1/24 kit from Tamiya.

01-31-2007, 10:00 AM

you know i just realized. how popular is modelling in sweden. we used to have several gundam model shops but now, they've all been shut down. so there are very few places to go and get specialty paint and what not.

but wow, i would have thought that it would have been much more expensive in europe than in the US.

How popular? Well, modelling in general is quite big in Sweden. The biggest classic car magazine, Wheels, often have articles from model shows here in Sweden. But of course, it's only cars, bikes and stuff.

Then we have a fair share of figurepainters, aircraft builders and tank builders, hell anything WWII is quite popular here when it comes to modelling.

But then we have Gundams, or models related to the anime culture in general. They sell toys and stuff from like Hellsing and Devil May Cry but no 1/4 scale resin figures or stuff like that. I bought a 1/100 LED Mirage 'Prince Sarion' (from a series called Five Star Stories, cost me about 26 000 Yen) from HLJ. I'm quite sure I'm the only one in Sweden that owns a kit like that or any model like that for that matter.

I'm sure Gundams could be a hit here, it's just that they have never shown it on Cartoon Network or whatever. Card Captor Sakura aired on TV last year but that's far from Mecha.

Conclusion: I know of no modeler in Sweden that builds Gundams. In other words, it's very rare.

Actually, this is the first resin kit I've ever built (properly anyway), so I'm pretty new to this, eventhough I know all the basic techniques when it comes to resin kit building. :)

I still have long ways to go. Only a year since I came back to building models so I'm still learning.

Here's a picture of how I've pinned the parts together.

A simple question (or three), are they hard to build? Where to get the additional kits for them? and is the manual in english?

ssouske

02-17-2007, 09:55 PM

the snap on model kits from bandai are not really hard to build... there are no english manuals but the manuals include pictures which you can follow. an HG 1/144 kit should take only 10-20 mins to complete if you don't paint them...

now resin kits like the one mindless is doing is for another level of model builders... :amuse

Mindless

02-18-2007, 05:02 AM

Yeah, I wouldn't attempt building resin kits unless you have a couple of years of modeling experience. This particular resin kit costs about $170 so it's alot of money going wasted if you don't know how to build it properly.

The normal kits from Bandai aren't very hard to build. A HG 1/100 kit shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to complete. A MG kit can take a bit longer since they vary alot both in number of parts and size.

I usually buy my kits from HobbyLink Japan (www.hlj.com). But of course, there are other places you can buy Gundam kits too.

Mindless

02-19-2007, 01:17 PM

It's quite hard to explain.

Resin has a completely different feel to it, alot more refined, even the smell of resin is special. Unlike injection plastic you can sculpt it. Guess I'll have to quote Morpheus from The Matrix: "You cannot be told what resin is, you have to build it for yourself."

Well, it's kind of like that anyway. :P

Buy what? A resin kit?

If what I've gathered from the stuff you've told us here is somewhat accurate, I'd say you're not ready to start building resin kits. Putting together and completing a resin kit is far more complex than a typical gundam model. However, if you do feel ready for a resin kit, by all means, buy one. Just a piece of advice: read alot about them before building it. Gamerabaenre (http://www.gamerabaenre.com/gameramodelpage.htm)
has built alot of resin kits and has very detailed in-progress pictures aswell as different techniques.

staradder:

You do that. In my opinion, they are alot funnier to work with than typical injection plastic kits but that might be because I like to work with my hands more. However, resin kits tend to be aimed at the 'higher end' of the modelers, so not many shops carry them. Dunno about your place though.

But as I suggested above, read up alot about them before building. I learned it the hard way.

staradderdragoon

02-22-2007, 12:15 AM

^awesome. thanks! i will read up on it before i do anything.

i am curious though. how do u put the pieces together? glue? i'm downloading the tutorial right now, but i figure this would be faster.

Mindless

02-22-2007, 02:25 PM

Well, this particular kit had such nice fit so you could just glue them like any other IP kit.

However, in most cases I'd say, you have to pin the parts together.

You do this by drilling a hole and inserting a metal pin (a 1mm diameter pin for example) into the part and drill a hole in the other part where it's supposed to be attached. To do this properly, you have to measure exactly where the hole is supposed to be drilled, else the fit will be messed up.

This is where some of the 'past modeling' experience comes into play, but most of it is generally when fixing uneven areas and inconsistencies in the resin. Lots of putty is something that is pretty much typical for resin kits, unless the molds are very, very good.

staradderdragoon

02-22-2007, 06:11 PM

oOo. now i see. i think i get it now. they're solid pieces unlike the plastic injection kits right? do u have to buy the metal pins?

Mindless

02-22-2007, 08:29 PM

Yeah, they are solid.

The pins are not included so yes, you have to buy them. HLJ sells Kotobukia (at least I think it's Kotobukiya) brass rods that can be used for pinning, but pretty much any metal rod should do. You can probably find metal rods at pretty much any hardware store.

Yay, got a MG Nu Gundam in the mail today. Going to use it for a conversion kit I have on a shelf here at home. Snapped it together today to get a rough idea what it's going to look like. Pretty cool so far. Going to add some mods to it though to detail it up a bit, kind of Evolve'ish.

I'll try and get a picture or two up on friday if I can get hold of a camera.

Oh, and in a few weeks I should be getting the Hi-Nu in the mail too. Got to complete the G-System head before those two though.

Mindless

02-27-2007, 12:58 PM

Yeah, I already have a MG Nu Gundam here on my shelf, I just bought another one for this conversion kit. The conversion kit is from AkoHobby/AkoCreation (www.akocreation.com). It's basically new chest details, skirts, legs, feet and shoulders and since I was a 'special customer' he threw in a Hi-Nu resin head together with it.

The conversion kit gives the Nu a much more powerful and beefy look. You'll see the difference on the pictures once I get hold of a camera.

My MG Hi-Nu should be shipping in a week or two from HLJ. Looking forward to it alot. But first things first. Got to complete the GP02a Head first.

Can someone explain putty to me? I know that there is different kinds for different stuff, but I don't know each kind at what they're for.
I know one kind is for getting rid of seams, but I've also seen the Tamiya Cement which seems to get rid of seams very well, so what's the point of puttying and how do you do it? In this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gSq8_9Js2c&mode=related&search=
it shows them spreading the putty in the gaps of the parts, but I don't really get it. Can someone explain just exactly why to use putty and the types?

Mindless

03-20-2007, 05:17 PM

Allen Walker (inactive)

03-20-2007, 06:05 PM

It really depends.

The epoxy putty seen in this movie is often used to fill smaller cavities (as seen in the clip) while other types of putty are better to use when filling uneven areas in the plastic.

The point of it? Well, it's a useful tool. I use it alot for filling seams and other things on my model kits. As for how you do it, it's explained pretty well in this clip. You mix the two compounds (one part hardener and one part putty) then put it into the gap you want to fill and after it has cured fully, you can cut off any excess with a knife then sand / file it down.

Oh, and I finally got my kit ready for primer.

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w149/Mindless000/DSCN3029.jpg

Next up is this one, the MG Hi-Nu.

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w149/Mindless000/DSCN3027.jpg
Thanks for answering.
So it's good for filling seams, but isn't the Tamiya Extra Thin Cement also good for that? Is there an advantage that putty has?

Also, I've read that epoxy putty is more sculpting and not filling seams. What type of putty is for filling seams and where can I get some? Sculpting/Scratch building is a little out of my league at the moment.

staradderdragoon

03-20-2007, 06:37 PM

oooooo, MG Hi-Nu looks sweet...what's the project time so far?

Mindless

03-20-2007, 07:33 PM

Cement is the most common way to fill seams. Putty has no real advantage over cement when it comes to filling seams but I guess some prefer putty because it adds more 'material' (so you don't sand away too much for example) than cement.

I guess epoxy putty is more for sculpting / filling big gaps while conventional one-part putty (not the two-part epoxy) is more for filling smaller inconsistencies and seams.

Where you can get some? Local hobby shop I guess, if you have one that is. Otherwise you can find it over at www.hlj.com

staradder: Yeah, it's a great kit. I was very sceptical at first because it looks nothing like what the Hi-Nu really looks like but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

As for project time. On the Nu or Hi-Nu? The nu has taken like... I don't know, a month so far but I haven't really been working on it constantly. The Hi-Nu took two nights to snap together.

Mindless

04-23-2007, 03:52 AM

The primer I use is from PlasticPadding (a Swedish brand), but I'm sure any other brand will work just as well. Some prefer Mr.Surfacer while others prefer Tamiya or some other brand. The difference between them isn't too big as they all fill the same purpose, which is mainly to help paint adhere to the plastic.

Regarding the Strike Freedom. Well, it sure looks like a nice kit. I've seen a few detailed in-progress threads of it and they all seemed to like building it, so, go for it.

And yes, that is a primed piece.

EDIT: Forgot. Here's some WIP pictures of my Hi-Nu. Changed the angle of the funnel racks with a quick mod because they looked nothing like they were supposed to.

I'm only a snap-builder and panel line type of guy since I use my painting and customizing mainly on my Zoids. Aside from that I really like the articulation of MG Gundams so I like to fiddle with them and take pictures so I stay away from painting. So I guess I'm more of a collector than a modeller in the case of Gundams. Here's my list of Gundams:

MG Freedom
MG Aile Strike
MG Shining
MG Spiegel

I have MG Strike Rouge and Strike + IWSP on the way. I am also a Strike Gundam fan fyi.

Well this thread needed a bump sometime, and I figure whats better than Gundam 00 premiering to do it?

So I'm not bumping this just to bump it, but I got a legitimate question, I'm Gonna go about Ordering 1/100 Models later this year(preferable 00 Models) but as of now I'm just gonna get a SD Exia. Now in the past i've used a regular old ball point pen for lining and I just do want to rub off the excess anymore so what's a good pen for lining, and do they make special pens for it like they do with colors? Also are they cheap or am I gonna have to be spending more than a regular pen on one?

I use a VERY fine tipped marker. You can get them usually at any store, and they are most of the time classified as "Extra Fine" or something like that. They seem to work out the best IMO. Just don't get a sharpie, as they are considerably harder to "wipe away" if you make some mistake lol.

I did get some of the HQ Gundam Wings Models way back in 2000 when the show was popular. Now they are all broken in pieces and somewhere in crates in the garage (12 years old at the time, they were toys in my eyes)

So present day, I did start buying some again since I was building Warhammer Models. Currently I have bought two Master Grades (Strike Freedom and Wing Zero custom) and I like the articulation they have. I really love the Strike Freedom Model since I bought the $72 Special Edition one that came with a sick display stand that you can put all the missles on to make it look like they were flying around him.

Then I bought a HQ 1/60 of God Gundam, which was disappointing because I broke the light wires when trying to get it all hooked up and when the model was finished, it was falling apart. I didn't like the size much so I'm thinking about getting the Master Grade version.

Thought I bump this thread as I await my 00 Gundam+O-Raiser Combo Pack that comes with a pretty cool stand.

Also bought the 1/100 of Gundam Exia. It's alright, but was a bit disappointed that the hands aren't moveable like the Gundam Wing Models were for 1/100 HGs.

damn its been a while since i last visited this thread. though id try to get some opinions about something. one of my friends is going to hong kong and christmas is coming up. now i can either buy the MG version of strike freedom or have my best friend buy me the conversion kit. im tempted to just buy the MG since my current freedom is missing half of its head and im not sure if the conversion kit will replace all of that. not to mention the conversion kit requires me to buy paint and stuff. but for some reason, the conversion kit looks better. like i know its more detailed than the MG but it looks better. There are just slight differences. im not sure what it is. but which one should i get?

MG 1/100 Ver. 2.0 Zeta Gundam
NG 1/100 Exia
NG 1/100 Strike Aile
NG 1/00 Gundam Exia
NG 1/100 Arios Gundam
GN 1/144 Archer.

I plan to eventually get the MG 1/100 Nu Gundam, Char's Zaku II Ver. 2.0 Scale 1/100, and HGUC 1/144 Sazabi.

I also, wanted to get some older Wing models, but I heard they are pretty fragile by today's models standards.

Rare? Not really. I think you can find most of the main Gundams in master grade and I'm pretty sure Master and God Gundam recieved the perfect grade treatment.

I was right. You might need to order them at a hobbystore but it should work. If you want to get into Gunpla, I made a guide.

You can see its box here in the background. If you look closely, there's the bandai logo. As for the 1/100 HG Epyon...

Nah, that model is really that shitty. From what I hear, most of the 1/100 HGs are. I'm not sure if there's an MG Epyon :hmm

I always put them in perfect poses. If I want some extreme posing, I sometimes use fishwire to string them up.

So I got home yesterday and there was a big box waiting at the front door and I thought "WOO my Exia is here!" Picked it up, was light like they usually are and took it to my room. Didn't bother opening the box till later that night because I knew I wouldnt be constructing the model for a couple weeks.
Opened it, it wasn't my Exia......
It was my new kick pedal for Guitar Hero! :doh

I was disappointed and happy at the same time :laugh I was going to take pictures of the Exia box to make people jealous but that didn't work out.

But now I can finally play Guitar Hero drums again so I'm happy anyway :grin

Now just need to wait for Exia again.

During this weekend I decided to to as much done as I could.
Here are some pics of my progress. (Sorry about my photography skill, I don't know how to work my camera well)

The lower section bends from side to side for more flexible poses.

This thing is really bright.

The head is one of the most detailed heads I've done on an MG model.

It has sharingan! lol. Cant see it that well but it does. A shame that it is covered up.

Really flexible. Especially the feet which has the front "toe" as a separate part

This has to be the most flexible kit I've ever built.

I like the light up drive hehe

So that's as far I've got this weekend and won't be able to do anymore during the week because I can't work on it at night. The light is too horrible to see what I'm doing.
Only things left are the weapons and repair parts.
I'm disappointed some of the repair parts aren't completely different parts. I have to disassemble some parts so I can replace them with the repair parts.

For being a girl, people might be shocked that I've actually done some of these! It tends to seem to be something guys do more.

Anyway, I have put together the model of the Blitz Gundam.

I've also put together....hmm...forget the name of it off the top of my head but it's Heine's Gundam in Gundam Seed Destiny. That orange one.

I also have Yzak's Duel Gundam and a model of the Archangel but I haven't put them together yet.

It's fun to put them together although it really does take hours! lol.

wow thats some list...i just have about 4-5 kits

Gekigangar

10-10-2009, 03:03 PM

Yes indeed. Quite a list. Must have cost you quite a lot.

What's interesting that what is expensive is not the kit itself, but the modeling materials required to do the kit.

Sandpaper, liquid cement, paint, etc...

IchiTenshou

10-10-2009, 03:06 PM

and those r MG as well

I just got 2 HGs and 2 NGs xD

Gekigangar

10-10-2009, 03:12 PM

Don't buy so many HGs and NGs and you might be able to save enough for a MG.

Quality over quantity.... smile-big

I'm sure your collection will grow soon enough...

IchiTenshou

10-10-2009, 03:17 PM

...well idk if where will be more cool kits coming out...
and im only got some kits from Double 0

Gekigangar

10-10-2009, 03:28 PM

The Perfect Grade 00-Raiser seems promising.

Only thing is the price tag...1 of the most expensive Gundam kits to date.

IchiTenshou

IchiTenshou

10-15-2009, 02:54 AM

Corran

Man, this was a fun model to build. Especially after having last built an MG Zeta v1.0. You really see how the technique in models evolved. The v1.0 of the Zeta doesn't have an frame so like... yeah.

You can guess what kind of a mess that thing is to pose (you can kinda see it in the background in the second picture). Especially compared to this one, which can do fucking ballet poses.
