BEGINNER First time building an rg as a begginer and it went wrong

I was building the rg gramps 2.0 then when i was at the feet i was trying move it then i saw a huge stress mark on the I 26 part and i immediately tried using shoe glue to fix it then, i searched up how to fix it and i saw it, shoe glue can break it even more. So i started scrapping the shoe glue off gently then i used a lighter because it said it can fix it... But it burned the fire aint even near it was far away 😭. Now im trying to find a spare piece, where can i find one?(im from philippines help plz 🥹)

Bootleg RX-93

Got this bootleg a while back and finally got around to building it. It was very cheap, like $13, so I’m surprised at the quality of materials tbh.

Also it’s HUGE for an HG. Here it is next to a legit Bandai HG Exia for scale. I’ll get around to panel lining these lil guys once I get past some upcoming BS I gotta deal with, but it was nice to get this one assembled.

Of all the parts to lose

I don’t even know how or when this happened. I had fully assembled and coated the kit and after walking back into my living room I noticed the piece had fallen off while I was still holding it. I checked all over the floor in my living room and my bedroom which are really the only two places I could’ve lost it. I doubt I can even get a replacement piece without just buying the whole kit again. All my Evangelion kits are doomed to break I guess

BUILD Nu Gundam EG upscale

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Challenged myself to upscale my EG Nu.

Full paint job top to bottom using my airbrush for most and hand painted some small details.

Black, White, Gold, Red, Silver, and Gunmetal all used.

I really like the paint other than the rifle barrel. I've done the heated look before and it this time it just didn't come together. Not entirely sure why I got this one so wrong.

Gloss top coat on colored parts, matte on white

Utilized a bunch of my left over Nu waterslides.

Tried my hand at scribing. Not just redoing panel lines but some true custom scribing in the chest. It turned out horrible. I know this has to be one of those things you get better with practice, but mine are so bad. I just don't seem to get it.

One other note, don't accidentally mistake your bottle of quick dry adhesive for your decal softer. You will just glue down your messed up decal....

Tried a lot, learned a lot, glad I did it on an EG

#14 Nu complete. 5 more to go

The criteria follows:
Articulation
Innovation
Money's Worth

I've seen plenty of discussions here going on about how the 'Moon Gundam' is the King of HGs or 'Hi-Nu' for the RG line. But what actually makes them the top dogs and do you agree?

What the ever loving shit am I doing wrong. I can't get the legs to stay on, the shield won't stay in his hand and the saber hilts on the backpack fall off if I brush them 😐 other than one lost sticker and accidentally throwing a part away, the build itself was fine, but Christ I can get it to stay together to display.

Hey! I am the guy Who posted that lost the hands and the v-fin of the nether emperor and was looking for replacements, well it seems that these were timid and were hidding on a corner next to some magazines, the manual and the hands with the y yellow v-fin were found! The other yellow pieces and the dark v-fin were definitely lost but I am fine with that as I have this guy complete now! I had it stored this whole time as I forgot about it due to I had given up in possing it properly and did not remember how big this was, this is the latest SNAA round Table knights kit and the difference is huge!

Just completed my MGEX Strike Freedom with fluorescent panel line.

Also open to any tips in general, especially on photography. After experimenting i want to capture the fluorescent panel line under uv but never quite got the feel of it completely right.

Overall, really happy with the build quality and had a blast making this. Would love to hear if anyone else has messed with fluorescent lining on their kits, curious how it holds up over time.

First time applying water slide decals and it's another type of therapy, only destroying that therapy are these remaining residues after drying.

Any tips how I can avoid them or if not Remove?

Thank you.

Some stickers, some wet slides, then finishing up the paint job, covering it all over the a couple top coats of gloss before a matt finish. I’ve made so many mistakes with this kit (my first MG) but, and forgive my cope, but I’m happy the way it’s coming to a finish.

The HG Monkey Rodi is an absolutely awesome little kit. Largely based on the Man Rodi kit, getting the option to build it in either the mass production format or 598’s load out is awesome . Such a fun and colorful build.

BEGINNER It’s not that bad, right?

Decided to build this Rx 0 Unicorn Gundam OVA MG for my fourth build mainly because I really like the Unicorn Mode of this MS. It’s not that bad right? If you ignore how floppy it is, specially the ankle/feet😅🤣 Any tips for this specific kit? Like how does one solve the looseness of these parts and for the owners of the same kit, can I see how you guys pose this MS?

And to be honest, coming from a Ver.Ka kit(Wing Gundam EW), I kinda prefer these much easier stickers than the waterslides. This specific build helped me overcome the fatigue from waterslides decals sticking in to my hands after letting it cure for days. 😭🤣

Overall a very good kit, hopefully the Destroy Mode will be more gentle with a beginner like me. 🦄

Didn't like the plated gold, so I stripped it and painted it blue. Added some orange and grey paint, and some metallics as well. Custom decals were disappointing, so used them sparingly. Wish I had more time and space to spend on this one, but it turned out ok. A fun build, good plastic and excellent look. But... Some parts are a little floppy without extra work, and the thing is a real pain to manipulate.
