Say, hows the rg Tallgeese? It's a pretty cool looking suit with a unique style
Thanks. I think the problem with the joints loosening is just because of how the kit is designed. Specifically, this part:Solid work as always. Surprised paint made it more loose. Did you try using super glue and stiffen them?
LBX/DANBALL SENKI Plamo look cool !!!
But i can't buy anymore.
Started applying water slides, the decals are pre cut, so that's incredible.
Looks fantastic! I hope my MG Sazabi will look this good when I build it.Just finished! Sazabi RG, detail paint, water slide decals, panel lining, and top coat.
Sooo clean and pretty! Nice!Just finished! Sazabi RG, detail paint, water slide decals, panel lining, and top coat.
Very nice looking.
Kudos on the amount of silver and gold details. That probably took a long time and I always get a bit disheartened if I spend time on things that may not even be visible like, say, the screws on the funnel bays when closed.
Sooo clean and pretty! Nice!
Which waterslides did you use? Bandai hasn't released official ones for this one, right?
I've been wanting to try my hand at adding metallic details, just lack the confidence that it would come out looking good. What kind of paint did you use?
Just finished! Sazabi RG, detail paint, water slide decals, panel lining, and top coat.

Wow came out amazing. Also love me some weapon detailing, though I rarely do it myself haha.
Worked on a new light box today, and put together an Action Base 1 I had laying around.
I recommend getting something to diffuse the light. A mere piece of translucent paper or even some thin fabric helps in making the lighting slightly less directional.Thanks everyone, appreciate it.
And before anyone thinks it's a fancy setup lol
Used an old box from a pressure washer, and 97 cent black and white poster paper from walmart. The lighting is from my under cabinet lights lol.
This one shot has me looking into buying a point-and-shoot to replace my phone.
IMO the harder lighting adds drama to the pose. Not always what you want, but looks great in this case.
I should experiment with my photo setup more. This one shot has me looking into buying a point-and-shoot to replace my phone.
This is a Sony RX100 mk2, fantastic camera for what it is. I need to get some lights for the sides of the box, was thinking about cutting holes on the sides to better light the model. Usually I have a white back drop, so to top lighting reflects enough to light the whole model. But the black back drop changed that a lot, still learning lol.
I posted this in the thread a while back, but here's my photo box:
Each side has tissue paper and a lamp. Little bit of a pain to set up, though.
Hexagear looks pretty cool to me, what's the best one to try for the cost concious that's interested in trying one but doesn't want to spend to much(US based here)
I am surprised, too, especially when I did not have an good experience with one particular frame arm kit as it is easy to fall apart.Nice work, Jim_Cacher . Considering how weird it is I'm surprised it hold a pose well.
That depends on if you like Governor. They are really small so some people don't think they worth the price. For the beast kits, I would say just pick one you like. I live in Asia so don't know much the prices in the US, but 1999 seems to have the best prices.So just find one and a governor that looks cool and roll with it then Hunh?
Shrug for convience seems most are 60 on amazon, which isn't horrible and most goveners are 20 so if I wind up doing a binge when I clear my backlog a bit it wouldn't be too terribleI am surprised, too, especially when I did not have an good experience with one particular frame arm kit as it is easy to fall apart.
I will probably continue working on Command Wolf from ZOIDS next. I have abandoned it for months.

So I'm working with waterslides for the first time. I was wondering if I should do a protective gloss coat (Pledge finish) before I apply the decals or after? Any tips?
I didn't use a top coat before. I put the water slides directly onto the plastic, and used Micro Sol on the water slides once they dried a little bit. Top coated after the micro sol dried.
Thanks for the tips! I probably should've clarified that I'm airbrushing the kit though.Gloss when used for waterslides can be applied before to avoid shimmering.
Some people say it may not be needed if applied on unpainted plastic because it's already semi-glossy as opposed to a painted surface that is often slightly rugged and it is what produces the shimmering.
The topcoat after the waterslides (in this case it can be either glossy or matte) would be for protective purposes. There are certain specific products that are used after applying waterslides that help them blend into the surface.
There are currently two product lines for Zoids. One is HMM from Kotobukiya, another is Zoids Wild from Takara Tomy. The complexity of HMM series is comparable to MG ~ PG of gundam models while the latter aims at kids. Just done some quick searches on Amazon US and I think the prices of HMM there are too over-priced. If you are able to find another retailer which sell them cheaper, I would recommend picking up a variation of Liger Zero.Shrug for convience seems most are 60 on amazon, which isn't horrible and most goveners are 20 so if I wind up doing a binge when I clear my backlog a bit it wouldn't be too terrible
Ooo I've also wanted to try a zoids kit for a while is there an affordable one for giving the line a try?
