Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[Blusttoy]

Just asking, who actually watches Gunpla builders beginning?

I like the series. It might seem childish or Gunpla-whoring to some people but it allows for pretty non-orthodox styles like custom suits and different universes fighting each other like the rampage of the GP03 Dendrobium. Oh and actually it's the most realistic Gundam series.

My only complaint is that all the Beginning Gundam variations looks childish (As if made from Lego) and the overall proportions is horrid that even Bandai acknowledge that it's a crap design and thus made it overpowered to compensate it's aesthetically displeasing nature. If only it was destroyed by that Hi-v Gundam thus allowing the main character to go and purchase an Ex-S Gundam. Now that will be nice to watch, beam smart gun.

I also like the parody version:

And no decent pictures yet but I got the ReZEL (GR) and while it seems great so far, the lack of forward moveable shoulder, hollow parts such as the elbow guard and crotch seems really surprising in a new kit. Maybe it's because I don't have the other variations.

Lastly, I hope the speculation of a new RG Zeta is true and wouldn't mind a non-transforming Zeta lol. From GundamKitsCollection.com:

knowing bandai, they wouldn't come out with a non-transforming zeta

Especially for a real grade. Most HG can transform nowadays, dun see why a rg wouldn't.

some of the HG transformation is fake one, need to swap parts. e.g. rezel

 

[ragnarok95]

Zeta cannot transform is not a zeta.

Noob questions... If I use a silver gundam marker and go over the plastic... will it give a metallic look?

Most likely not. Why dont go down to HAW to get a mirror paint? Looks awesome.

I will lmfao if RG zeta cant transform.

 

[aucheukyan]

later they give fully geared parts that you can hook to battery and switch, one button can change mode

That would be really nice... but i doubt it would be RG if it would be ever made... more like 1/60. And im pretty sure it would be preassembled.

I would be really p*ssed off if i can't find RG Justice at Vivocity tomorrow. The brochure says same day as japan release...

hi guys noob qn, I'm presently using copic marker to panel line my kits, however, even the finest(0.03) cannot fit in the the small seams like for booster etc. how do u guys do it?

Oh and if the line is too thick i normally use cotton bud to rub of excess. you guys got a better way?

TQTQ ^^

Tamiya Panel Line Accent, Lighter fluid and cotton bud. It's super easy even for non-experienced modeler and works well on bare Gunpla plastic too.

You can use gundam market gm20, because the head is soft, its able to go into small gap.
Than use cotton bud to wipe off the excess.

Add a little bit of zipo fluid to the cotton if you find hard to clean.

If you have painted your kits, than gloss coat first than do.
