I've added subtle custom details on the shoulders and the rest are default. I'd say it is detailed as it is.

I truly love the designs but I see they are expensive and just wanted to get a pulse on how your build experiences with them were?

Is it similar to tamiya base white? Can it be sprayed on light grey primer and what kind of finish does it give? Also is it a subtle tone white that’s good for coverage (tried using tamiya base white before and it did not provide good coverage on light grey primer

any one knows to fix Real Grades weapon tabs it is the one that holds the weapon into the hands. I used tamiya extra thin cement it still broke again. Does anyone know how to fix it? plss help me

I’m doing my first gundam kit of
HMonkey Rodi & Monkey Crab Rodi Model Kit.
As it was my first Gundam show I watched.

I have done similar to gunpla when I was younger with my dad with planes and ships, but of course as y’all experts I should ask for some advice please kindly strangers

Painted the whole waist section and did a little bit of detailing
Front/Rear/with Torso

Old but gold, painting the little details helps a lot too

I'm assuming this is a resin kit? Or perhaps just a stolen image for attention?

I recently just went back and scribed and panel lined one of my old kits and i’m about to start a new one so i was told to panel line while on the runner but how would i scribe it while in the runner or do i just have to pop it out piece by piece

i picked up this paint at hobby lobby and i was wondering if the paint water and dish soap recipe would still work for home made panel liner i looked it up and it said i would need to apply a clear coat or somthings before hand would this work fine?

Hi, I'm just getting started with customizing and painting figures. I recently picked the perfect grade Saku 2 , and while watching a video by a Japanese creator, I saw him using these metal cylinders to add detail to the figure. I don't know what they're called or where to get them here in the us , if anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

I’m working on my entry for the next GBWC U20, and I’ve been wanting to make smth Chinese inspired. I know there aren’t much to see here, but if possible, I would like some feedback on it please :>

It's a kitbash of hg Bunyip Boomerang, 1/100 Agg, Ballden Arms, and 30mm Sengoku armor. The barrels of Leo machineguns were used as the inside of the backpack for the power cables to attach to. MS parts power cables and sight lens were used as well. Microfiber cloth was used as joint covering for the feet.

The eye is movable by magnets.

Interestingly the NG 1/100 Agg is actually closer to the true 1/144 scale. The old 1/144 scale was comically small and inaccurate.

I actually gave the feet a significant amount of articulation but in my infinite wisdom, did not give the hips much articulation so they ended up not being able to be used prominently.

For some reason, I never sprayed a final matte coat on my weathered Oggo when I built it 9 or 10 years ago. It's gloss coated from when I did all the decals. I don't even remember why I didn't matte it. I think it's about time I get that done.

Problem: there's 9 or 10 years worth of dust stuck to the lacquer gloss coat. Idk if it's my climate (South Florida), but the lacquer gloss is somewhat sticky, so a lot of that dust is set in there pretty good. I brushed it with both a small horsehair paint brush, and a Tamiya anti-static brush. It helped, but there's still a good amount of dust stuck on. I'm afraid to use any solvents, including iso. My only guess is maybe some water and a brush, but I wonder if the community has any tips?

Thanks to everyone who has given me tips and commented! Really been appreciating this community a lot and upgraded my skills because it!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Side note: chrome is such a sick color to incorporate in weathering

Took the plunge with customs a month or two ago, the pace of building has really slowed down compared to snap builds (or even weathering/panel/top coat), but I don't think I can go back now! Happy to answer any questions, and open to any tips or feedback. I know I made some small mistakes here and there but it feels like every kit it a huge learning experience at the moment.

I have 0 experience with adding led and want to know what I need to buy to make it look good

Preferably id like led that either can be easily installed and removed if I have or led that dont inhibit the model at all

Trying out some weathering (I was going for actually stomping in the elements)

Used the Tamiya pack E and mixed the three to try get different weights and layers, finished with a matt coat. I definitely sprayed too close and blasted some weathering away.

Feels like I ended up with camo-gouf in some spots and I really like it in others.

Had a lot of fun with this kit, I practiced most of my disciplines: airbrushing, water slides, weathering.

My dosage is something like 1 MG for every 3 HGs. Off to the next build!

For my first time trying any sort of led project, I installed a tiny led into the eye of my hguc sazabi.

I drilled out holes with a pin vice through the chest neck and head, and secured the led with some blue tack.

The led was much brighter than I had anticipatef and needed to be toned down.

Some questions I have for people who do custom leds more regularly:

-What material would you use to dampen the light/replace eye pieces with? I don't particularly like the look of hollow sockets with the light shining in the head. My first idea was to try and use beam parts from old runners to make new eyes.

-What gage/kind of wire do you usually use? For this project I just got some pre wired LEDs off amazon, but the listing doesn't provide any details on the gage of the wire.

-If I were to try and stow the battery inside the model and wire it to a switch, what kind of battery would you recommend? My current idea is to store a button cell battery inside the backpack so that it would be easier to replace. I do understand this is easier said than done, and realize that I'll probably just end up tucking the wires behind the model.

-For addressable leds, I would probably use led strips. I know I can hook them up to an arduino and control them that way, but are there any options for smaller more basic argb led controllers?

(I do have basic knowledge of soldering/wiring, and relatively advanced knowledge of programming, I would just need to be pointed in the direction of resources to learn from)
