Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[aucheukyan]

Hi thanks for your reply.. Ya have tried the HAG but rates about the same as M workshop.. Haven't checked the hobby culture at peninsula plaza yet haha.. Just wondering if anyone teaches it on home or private basis in a lower rates?

Why not try youtube? I started from youtube tutorials videos, it is a good source for entering as it cost nothing(or your internet subscription if you are paying ). It brings you into the loop and gives you basic know-hows, and let you think about whether in the future do you want to pay to learn from the pros at MWS or HAW.

Hi bro , initially i have the thinking as u , wanted to learn gunpla modelling though attending workshop , but after checking the price, i realise that the fees cost more than the equipment plus kit combined and maybe exceed more than that. Seriously a no no for a poor guy like me>_<

Since young , I have always been fascinated by how amazing and stunning all these model kit look , while admiring them though glass panel outside a toy shop. It was almost love at first sign with all these model kit...haha.. So giving up was not a option. With nowhere to start i turns to youtube for help , youtube is really a helpful place for you to start picking up on modelling skill if u dun wanna extra spend money on attending workshop to learn all these skill although for sure u will definitely learn much by attending workshop

All my knowledge and skill are picked up from watching youtube video , online research and fourms , i glad to say that thx to all these technology nowadays , i am able to build kit that is up to my satisfaction level as compared to how i used to build my kit 9 years ago(by using just scissors and just snap fit >_<, totally disastrous and waste of money).

Below is some youtube video for your reference..

1) Fun to build GUNPLA! - YouTube

2) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJV1h9xQ7Hx9DQS2fcMzSbM5CCM__T1dN

3) https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGhostofZeon?feature=watch

4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tXSJwNV01E

The last part is a tutorial build by the famous kawaguchi sensei , it a pity it is in japanese , but well i am no japanese language pro either , i just watch the video and try to grasp the concept.

Hopefully all those above help you in achieving your first dream gundam build...

Your Nu Gundam looks like crap. where the fug is the V fin? You think by removing the inner V fin it will look nicer? I know u are trying to copy rg color scheme but your contrast is too much and thats why it looks like crap.

BTW I know you own that forum but can u don't advertise it here??

hey guys need some help here

i broke the waist joint on my mg sinanju while joining the torso and waist together. guess i used too much force but it was so damn stiff ( like all the other joints )

any ideas how to join them back together? last resort would be to cannibalize another waist part from another sinanju

I broke mine too. Just use unwanted sprue to construct a new joint for sinanju.

can i have more thorough instructions pls? im quite a noob

 

[jinwolves]

drill a hole on your hip parts broken side and the waist side, the hole approximately same diameter of your sprue/rod. use superglue to secure the sprue/rod on the hip side.
