Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

Something i dont understand, I thought in Endless Waltz, it was the Tallgeese 3 that appears. not the ver. 1. Why Bandai classify it as EW?
Actually it will be cool if they bring back the HG 1/100 Tallgeese 3, as MG instead. I love the Round shield and the "Newer" Tallgeese 3's Gun.

the design of all MG wing kits aside from the original anime version ere based off of hajime katoki's design instead of kunio okawara, hence the kits are classified under endless waltz: the glory of losers instead

there is already a MG Tallgeese 3, but it is P-Bandai

Couple of questions

1. I just tried doing lining for the petit bearguy but it doesn't look that nice. Is it possible to remove it? How to disassemble it so that the part doesn't break?

2. Where to get the wings from petit bearguy?

Try to use a gray panel line for light/white base. Eraser will do just fine for the excess run of on the plamo, but if you want to get rid of the whole ink, anything with alcohol will do. The ink is literally water based.

HGBC Potent pack. I don't even get the point of those 1 dimension wings.

Thanks! I'll try it out tonight.

Hmm... If the wings seemed one dimensional, I may just use something else to replace it instead of getting the pack.

I am using gundam marker for panel lining and you can try using cotton buds to remove the excess. If the line is too thick, try to dip with abit of tamiya thinner and the marker marks will be lighten.

I just bought some Tamiya Compound because filing the gundam part made the part loses its shine. Hopefully the compound will lighten the marker marks as well instead of using thinner?

If want lighter marks, what you can do is use the marker to press the tip onto a dish. The ink will flow out. Use acrylic thinner to make it even lighter. Finally use a very thin brush to apply.

I use mechanical pencil for panel lining before and it is always very light.

Then i got lazy and prefer to have the ink flowing through

can just do enamel wash for panel line.
now they even sell pre-diluted enamel paint with the brush on the cap, make things easier.

a very useful tip there..

RG Astray Red Frame waist falling off

I just completed build my first RG, I notice this Astray Red Frame waist and torso parts keep falling apart when I try to pose

Do you guys encounter this issue? How to remedy?

Is it loose joint? I use clear nail polish for my other plastic models. Try on some runners first to see whether the brand u buy will damage a not.

Agree.

I like the Tamiya Accent panel most. Fast and fuss free. Btw, do people panel line in the runner first before building if you are just doing straight build and no painting?

i use glue on it, but no those superglue. i try Tamiya cement, but no strong enough to hold it. it still came off.

I suggest lining before building. I had to tear down my petit guy's front to erase the excess which went into the cracks of the body.

Btw, I tried using alcohol swabs to remove the perm marker lines, but whiteboard marker is more effective in the end cus the alcohol swab doesn't work.
