What’s next?

September 30, 2013 GN Leave a comment
I'm working on an entry for the HLJ competition. I'm doing a customized MG Aegis, and I won't be blogging about it here until the competition is over, so head over to the HobbyLink TV forums to see how it's going. Depending on how things go with the Aegis, I'll be building up more … Continue Reading ››

Macross VF-1

Gallery September 28, 2013 GN 2 Comments
After really enjoying watching the original Macross series with the children, I decided I wanted to build the VF-1, the star mech of the show. I remember building a VF-1 way-back-when the original model kits came out in the early 80s, but of course, they didn't transform. The new Bandai kits do transform, but at … Continue Reading ››

These two new RG kits are excellent. I completed them just before I started on Kastrysha but have only just got their photos taken. They build pretty much like the rest of the RG kits I've done, with the major difference being the Core Fighter and thus the centre section … Continue Reading ››

1/100 Kastrysha, Review, hints and tips

Gallery September 23, 2013 GN 4 Comments
Let's start off with a big shot of these three Unicorn mechs together!TGN_1635 Given the size of this kit, and stability with the binders, I decided to do a bit of experimentation on the stand for display. I've taken three standard 1/100 display bases together (see later … Continue Reading ››

Now that practically all the sub-assemblies for the binders are done, it's time to start putting things together.SAM_0280Getting the insides of the binders in place, while maintaining electrical continuity was tricky, but by now I didn't expect it to be simple! The chromed piece that the … Continue Reading ››

Detail work on the binders progresses well. I must admit I do enjoy the painting of the small detail sections, even if, as you can see below, they do get covered up!SAM_0253The details, as per usual, were done with Tamiya clear red, orange, yellow and blue.  … Continue Reading ››

Panel Lining

September 17, 2013 GN Leave a comment
There's no doubt that panel lining really adds to the look of a kit. I must have used every method (thinned enamels and acrylics) and type of pen and paint to do this over the years. I've always liked the Pilot DR drawing pen as they come in a good range of sizes, and their … Continue Reading ››

The shoulders and arms went together reasonably well.SAM_0211At this point I re-connected the battery pack and did a test of the 4 shoulder points where the binders will attach. I wanted to still sure I was electrically sound. All was good.SAM_0212Continue Reading ››

Kastrysha progresses slowly...SAM_0201Here's some more of the component pieces painted and the arms fully assembled. That arms look great but dealing with the power pipes was very tricky to get them into the tiny holes in the sleeves. The instructions sort-of show the pipes just ending at … Continue Reading ››

1/100 Kastrysha part 2

Gallery September 9, 2013 GN Leave a comment
The boxes all the parts come in make a good place to store the parts after painting, but before assembly. The binders have had the full treatment now - primer, pre-shading, painting, Future Finish, oil paint panel lines and dry brushing with Tamiya Weathering Master set.SAM_0190 … Continue Reading ››
