That's the original OYW version, right?
Didn't they release another one in "TV colors"?

Yes they did.

Another thing that is awesome about the OYW version is curved beam saber blades.

Yeah ive had some weird things happen with Testers paints, i still use them mainly because i can get them cheap near where i live.

But i just recently started painting my kits and i had a bad experience recently.

I'm a newfag to HLJ. I figured I would take advantage of the sale going on, but then I noticed the shipping price when looking at FA Gundam. Are these estimates accurate?

I like my mechs to be huge, lumbering, walking fortresses but the only model I've found catering to this is my Big Zam which will be arriving any day now. As someone isn't hugely savvy in these things, are there any recommendations for fuckoff hueg variety mechs? The less humanoid, the better.

with shipping considered, youll pay about the same price for kits no matter where you buy it from. i use amiami because the discount and the shipping usually cancel out for small orders and it gets here in 4 days. i use hobbywave for multiple kit orders because of the $12shipping. youll end up paying about $60 for that kit no matter where you buy it

If you live in the states you can try Gundam store and more. Shipping's cheaper and I've had no problems with them in the past. They even have a part replacement store although it is a little limited.

Well, if you're cool with animal-motif mecha, a lot of Zoids are of the walking-fortress variety...

Aside from that, you probably want to look mostly at pre-2000 mecha. Ever since Eva, mecha have gotten progressively spindlier (not that this is a bad thing, but everyone has different design preferences). Things like Go Nagai's stuff and the Brave series have a lot of bulkier mecha.

sup /toy/ I asked /m/ but only got the soldering iron answer/nail. But I don't want to have it look melty at all especially since I am doing a OYW model kit.
Anyways, I'm looking for a good way to make realistic bullet holes. I've been trying this method:
http://www.hobbylink.tv/hlj-gundam-battle-damage-weathering-tutorial
because I really like the look of it and so far it's come out really good except the bullet holes. I use an xacto knife and I can't seem to carve anything with it. Just leaves tiny scratches :/ Any ideas? Different blade type maybe?

Would anyone know where I could easily obtain parts for these cheap in master grade scale?
A giant Bazooka (If it could fit in the Zaku I hand that'd be great...less mods) and an RX-78 shield. Doesn't matter if it's from a GM or Gundam...
One of my master grade projects is going to be Matt Austin's Zaku from Zeonic Front.

Finished several kits this week. I usually don't post in this thread because I'm terrible at documenting progress, I just remember to take photos right after finishing. Posting results.

T-50 and M3 bradley 1/72 kits. T-72 and Abrams tank just for reference.

Damn, fighters are HUGE. Basically a huge engine just to propel a single person at mach 2. Meanwhile, 4 people are crammed inside those little things called tanks, which are made to widthstand slobs of metal moving faster than sound.

T-50 stealth fighter. Pretty simple kit, A single runner and the top and bottom parts of the main frame, unlike my Hasegawa F-14, which I'm too scared to even start (around 8 runners).

I have read that this kit was slightly inaccurate but I like this a lot. Painting the camo was pretty fun.

The Zvezda kit right? If Hasegawa ever produces a kit of the T-50, I wonder how complex and expensive it would become. Still, its nice they are showing interest in Russian aircraft starting with the 1/72 Su-33 though they released the Idolm@ster version before the regular version...

>>2315564
Modern fighters are sure huge. Found that out after putting my 1/72 Rafale and JS-2 tank side-by-side.

finally got around to taking some pictures of this, its the world's largest model airplane collection on display at my university's library. theres about 5500 of them spread out between two large class cases and a couple smaller displays around. theres also a couple hundred other model airplanes donated by students and alumns hanging from the ceiling, along with a handful of scaled prototypes from old student projects and some random large scale models donated by airlines.

Assembled everything of a 1/44 KV-2 but the turret the other day. Fuck me treads are an annoyance to put together. Ended up hurting a hand today, so I can't finish it off regardless.

As I sort of like mechs, I was thinking of getting some models like in this thread, but I'm suppose I'm what's classified as a pretty obstinate realfag and only the grunt mechs really appeal to me due to their more streamlined design.
