  1. Some really great entries there.

    The Akiba Dio is great.

    What is the red mech by the way.

    It's from some show called "Gundam", I think...

    :lol: :lol:

    If it is the red mecha from the Akiba Dio than it's the Godanner from Shinkon Gattai Godanner.

  2. Well the Yamato toy may look better proportion wise but therefor the Aoshima Motoslave parts aren't hollow from the backside which won't make it look like a toy. Also looks like a lot of improvements need to be made till the Aoshima kit looks like the CGI artwork. But that's what model building is about.

  3. I did mentioned it is a beginner airbrush. That's 40€ to find out if you like airbrushing or not. Obviously a pro wouldn't buy such a set. But 40€ are more reconcilable than spending ~100€(without compressor) just to find out airbrushing doesn't suits you. The nozzle sizes are all the same, 0,3mm. A set of 5 nozzles plus paint pots is still a lot cheaper than a replacement nozzle and needle for a good airbrush set or spare Aztek nozzles. A new needle, o-rings and nozzle for the AB I have(similar to Iwata Revolution) would cost me 35€+ shipment . A toy like Aztek A270 still costs 46€ and the starter set A430 are 65€.

  4. Hey PetarB you did a very nice job on V². Looks like the details on the new parts are a lot finer than on the Sky Girls Viper. Very well done. Although so many of these kits have been sold you hardly find any of them build up. I'm grateful for any pictures of the Vic Vipers not coming from Atelier Sai.

    Sorry to hear about the broken canopy but I think you'll find some way to replace it. You won't believe me but in a few month you'll find yourself hunting down another one. Just to prove that you can do this a whole lot better. By the way the Sky girls Anime suck. If your not a Lolicon or a die hard Gradius fan then this will be an eye sour.

  5. and I'll do a build-up thread... rolleyes.gif

    HERO!!!

    @Graham. Long before Bandai started with Gundam kits. They had chunky 1/16 scale tanks and 1/24 scale WWII fighter planes. The warbird kits had some nice fantasy panel lines and lots of rivets. I mean really lots of rivets. Their kits were better than the 1/32 Revell Stuff from the early 90. It's not like they don't know how to make model kits. It all became more child friendly and therefore unnecessary.

  6. The new PSP-3000 is out soon, I still have my PSP-1000 as I wasn't sure if it was worth upgrading up to the PSP-2000. Should I consider getting the new model?

    Depends on how much fun you had with the PSP-1000 and if it's really worth paying another 150GBP for the same equivalent value.

  7. I wonder if Bandai is following the licencing agreement and not offivcial exporting the kits to HK, so that only parallel imports will make their way to HK. Or perhaps Bandai HK thinks that HK people only like Guncrap (which is probably true for 99.99%).
    Looks like the DX VF-25 toy will join your collection earlier than the model kit. Due to what other modelers and hobby store owners told me I would say 99,9% of their customers buy Gundamn kits, pre-build models and PVC toys. That's why 99,9 % of all Hobby stores sell what the crowd demands while the rest of 0,1 % sells soft air guns and 12inch action figures. Ironically no one in HK offers special orders. It's buy what you see or search somewhere else. So the mass reduces their cravings to that what most stores offers.
