Gundam Universe - General All Discussion Thread

[Dark]

Watched it already. I think AGE-2 Dark Hound is really awesome. Dark Hound makes me want to collect the all AGE Gundams in Master Grade.
Luckily, I didn't get Deathscyth and Wing, but I got Destiny Blast mode instead, so I don't have to collect Wing Series just yet. LOL

I'm probably going to get the MG Age-2 because of the Dark Hound.

I had the MG Destiny, but I messed it up the paintjob and broke it (my first painting attempt). Now it's just laying in the corner of my closet, abandoned, lol

Btw, MG Destiny doesn't stand very well, but you probably will just use the action base.


another note, there's a contest on gundam eclipse for anyone interested.

Good to know about the contest, but I don't really do an amazing job in modeling. LOL

Sweet infinite justice @Dark

Zeta Gundam is pissing me off, the custom paints I mixed just won't cure. Its been a week and a half and it still rubs off while lining it.

what paint are you using? Maybe the paint you're using isn't for plastic model kits?

Model Master acrylics. Worked real good with the 00 quanta as long as I waited a week. But this time its still getting dissolved really easily with alcohol after almost a week. Which caused me to f up the shoulder armor and guns, so I have to redo them. Maybe its cause I mixed colors to get the shades of yellow and blue I wanted...

Its also funny its a MG and still has a bunch of stickers when there easily could have been a piece inserted.

Zeta Gundam? I think Z and ZZ are the last two I would build. They look so complex to build. I normally use Tamiya Spray paint, works like a charm. For the inner frame, I always use automotive gunmetal spray paint.

I haven't done any painting on Infinite Justice yet. I will start with the inner frame maybe next week.

I can never bring myself to paint... too much work involved. all my kits sit in their OOB form.

Yeah I also use Tamiya Spray paint. Tamiya spray paints are the best imo, they can dry within 1-2 minutes and the paint is in such good quality. They're pretty expensive to buy here in U.S. though.

I used to use tamiya exclusively back when I was only doing model cars. But I liked model masters stuff since it was non-toxic. I still flip flop between tamiya and model masters though. Which reminds me, time to find me a model GT-R to build haha.
@Dark, mg Zeta 2.0 is a pretty nice build. Its definitely one of the more complex gundams (which is why I wanted to build it) due to the wave rider transformation. Its really cool to see how all the little bits and pieces work to make it transform, and 2.0 Z is much more stable and less fragile than the original.

I was originally going to do Delta Plus and do a naval fatigue type painting on it, but that's going to have to wait. Z makes me want to take a break from painting...But when I do decide to paint and buy Delta Plus I'll just use tamiya paints exclusively. I have noticed that tamiya's paints spray out of an airbrush way better than model masters

I'll be waiting for when RG justice comes out, and then I will be buying both RG freedom and justice.

+1 on RG Freedom and Justice. I wish Bandai give 00Series some RG love though.
