Why is there a zippo can in that picture, do you use lighter fluid to start up the engines?

They gave you a stand with it for the reason that it can not possible stand on its own. Well it kinda can if you use that things on the back of the feet to hold the feet down. Just put it on its stand and never touch it.

Darth Walrus posted:Behold, my very first Gunpla: That's pretty nice, your sanding only really shows on those two things in the middle. It all comes down to practice, I've tried alot of different sanding techniques over a few models. Still haven't had the courage to fully panel line or apply "all" of the decals.

Try out a concaved xacto blade, I've heard good things. http://www.amazon.com/X-acto-Concave-Carving-Blade-pack/dp/B0000DD1NE On the plus side its curved like a sickle to just slice your fingers off.

Poison Mushroom posted:Since you're covering any damage, you can cut completely flush, or even take a little bit off, without worrying about the damage. You covered the nub up pretty good but the gouge is pretty visible. I would use a knife to de-nub if it didn't really make it noticeable. Just finished watching Gundam Build Fighters, time to order all those master grades. They better make more because the designs in the show were so drat good.

You mean Amazing Exia Repair, they better not make plain Amazing Exia because it was never even used. But if they did make it they will have broken the record of making a gunpla from a gundam in a show with the least screen time. The current holder is trans-am reborn's gundam since it was only in the last episode for 10? seconds?

I agree sanding adds a lot but you are really going out on a limb to say that sanding makes that. If you included painting, really good painting, and detailing sure. Sanding is just another technique to add more to the model. From watching Gundam Build Fighters, I kinda want to give the file another try, any tips? Last time I used it was like Texas Chainsaw Massacre for gunpla.

Used A file for one of HG Amazing Zaku's feet, it does the work fast but I can get the same results safer with sanding sticks but slower. I guess slow and steady is the way to go for now for me.

I finished my ZA last night too. I also noticed the gun holsters don't really click into the side skirts, you can kinda force them to stay still though. I got him posed with the sniper rifle and the extra bazooka. The rifle holds well with the butt under then arm. I don't think its possible to have the butt of the rifle to the shoulder, it will just pop the hand out. In the show I think I saw him hold it under the arm, I would have to go back to check though. The low amount of posing is the HG standard. I was thinking since no HG has posable hands, Build Fighters is totally lying about these Plavsky particles. It came with guns as it had all the Zaku weapons included.

Did HG Zaku Amazing only use one sticker? because for the life of me I can't find where the second goes.

Would it be worth it to just start brushing on future to skip pens for panel lines and wash? Or can you panel line by cutting the enamel with water?

Has anyone tried an acrylic panel line wash? I've read that mini war gaming models have used a mix of 4 parts water, 2 parts future, and 1 part paint to some success. The paint ends up getting pulled down by the future, leveled out from using future, and then sealed in by it. Sounds that since its all acrylic it can't really harm the plastic.

I don't really have the room to start painting/airbrushing yet and was looking for an alternative to using gundam pens for panel lines, as I got shaky hands. I also haven't read about what to use to erase mistakes with it to say, would that be windex or alcohol?

These HGBF kits are pretty reasonably flexible. Only made the Zaku Amazing and working on the Gouf R35 so far, but I really like the shoulders and hip joints alot.

Hijo Del Helmsley posted:Hell, I've seen people in this thread saying HG 00 Raiser is the best build they've done. It comes with a free stand but you really need an action base. The small stand is best for the raiser not for action shots with the 00.

Monaghan posted:well the consensus seems to the be the strike rouge. It was what I was leaning towards as I heard it was the best one. Plus, I don't have a strike. Hopefully it turns out better than the pg wing zero, a kit that turned me off pg's for this long. Tell us what you like about all those series!
