dj898 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Anyone know where I can find the track piece similar to those on Guntank but in metal? I could repair those by drilling holes on each and every one and connecting using thin brass pin but I rather use something more durable and won't break again... I got those from a shop long time ago and can't remember who was the manufacturer - I know HJ online shop used to carry something similar...

Stamen0083 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Nothing exactly like that. How did you build those tracks in the first place? Looks like a hell of a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360° Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 how about buying a cheap model TANK and use it's tracks. or even a cheap remote control tank and use it. Ebay might have those items that are already build or used for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoducks Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 well it's been a while so I might as well post some of my kits - old and new... heh (yep shameless self advertising at the finest) 375501[/snapback] Really like what you've done with your F2 Zaku, dj898. I just got mine but I'm afraid to paint it (the normal green colors are just so pretty ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj898 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) that Zaku II F2 is basically straight built out of the box except 2nd spike shoulder armour from my junk box instead of standard shoulder shield...

dj898 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) The basic build was done by my friend who built that Zaku II F2 Custom but I modified it fair a bit though. As you can see he's more into clean finish whereas I do fair bit of shading. Still must say it looks good with extended legs, arms and I put magnet to attach the shield - so it won't scratch the paint plus decaling... :confused7vi: I will see whether he saved the WIP pictures... ok. 'nuff talk from me. here are what you all wanted, pictures. The last picture is taken with my Gundam Kai to show its height which is taller than stanard MG Gundam...:shy0hz: pic1 pic2 pic3 pic4 and here's service shot! :winks2ft: action pose He freaked out when he found out this photo... :em01: But since he asked me to make the base well I need to test its mobility to come up with some idea... :redface7be: Edited March 6, 2006 by dj898 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Jack Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) hey guys sort of an off topic question. I have built several gunpla kits in the past, but have never used the stickers becaus as you know they are crap. However the kit I am working on now has some markings that only came as stickers that I want to use. Is there any way to get the stickers to look good on the model? (I don't really feel like spending the money on decal paper and bonder so any help would be great) Edited March 9, 2006 by Father Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj898 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I'm afraid not much you can do about that... just hope the sticker is thinner not like those bl**dy thick one in PG kits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrox Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Anyone know what the future releases in the HGUC line are? Only ones I know about are the quebeley and gaza and methuss. Would love to see some of the more forgotten ZZ mecha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to paint then applying an extra top clear coat on top should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj898 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I was out of my usual metal colour and all I had were gold/titanium gold so I thought why not... besides it was meant for a mate of mine who like his car decorated shiny gold plated pieces...

dj898 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) Here's the parts of Zeta Plus C1 after I've done quick air brushing and top coat. this kit was built when I had most of my tools stored away and couln't be bothered to buy another set of tools and what not so you can see I haven't fixed any seam lines... which I dislike a lot... O_x I ran out of flat top coat so used glossy top coat that I have a spare - too shiny for my taste but don't want to do another top coat when I get the matt finish though... more than likely I will assemble it and put it aside... if I'm going to build another one or Zeta Plus A1 I will be doing some modification and probably make it into fixed MS with VmSWr eliminated for better posability http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/5505/p10600353rn.jpg Edited March 15, 2006 by dj898 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj898 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 and here's my take on One Year War version. heavy on shading as usual the straight built out of box. pic 1 pic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj898 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) and here is comparison shots of two One Year War version - one finished in clean and another in MAX style shading. two OYW looking at them side by side this does look like good comparison between MAX style shading and clean non shading finish... the clean one's I modified and painted for a mate of mine who wants his MS clean and shiny like just rolled off the production line. For me I like mine heavy in shadow as it gives the model depth and more 3D - not too mention it looks like it's been out on field for some time when I add the weathering...

Twoducks Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Personally I would go for an inbetween look. Really like how the white parts look on the MAX. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj898 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 the problem with OYW version is there are way too many panel lines and doing MAX style shading isn't easy... resulting not covering enough space with spot white highlight hence darker over all tone... it's easier on ver. 1.5 or ver. Ka since those don't have so much panel lines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
