So do you guys think that the only viable theme for all future Gundam series is "eradicating war"? From a marketing standpoint, for Bandai to appeal to the large proportion of impressionable children, it seems unlikely they will ever move to a more mature and less-idealistic theme. I heard that 00 w...

Because he was voiced by T.M. Revolution.

Is it okay to get any of the Iwata Revolution brushes (ie, the cheapest one available at my local hobby shop)?

Is there any particular compressor you would recommend for beginners?

Thanks ulnhyrr (and everyone else).

Geez, I'm up to episode 20 of SRW: OG and NOW they decide to license it!? Couldn't they have waited another month so that we leechers could download the whole series? :cry: Now I have to wait until October for them to finish the OVA, then wait until they churn out 6 DVDs at 3 episodes a disc before ...

That's pretty nifty. Now if only there's a guide to compare Mr Hobby to Tamiya colors.

In the future, WWII Luger pistols are back in style.

*sigh* I wish there was more interest in gunpla modelling at the anime cons in Australia.

Those ... are different. Look kinda wierd.

I saw on dalong.net that the MG GP01 received a score of 63. Now I know it's an old model, but that kind of score implies that it falls apart the moment you sneeze. I've heard issues with the GP01FB many times on these forums, yet it still received a somewhat respectable score of 88. Can the GP01 be...

Well, I wouldn't normally compare these with Bandai's kits, but since I've already seen it I can't pretend I havn't

Thanks ulnhyrr. So how long should I wait for the top-coat to dry? I mean, inevitably using something to support a part will mean some area won't be sprayed the first time around. Is it OK to stick the area thats just been sprayed onto the sticky tape immediately? Won't that affect how the top-coat ...

When applying top-coat, I hear it's best to take the model apart into its main components (hands, forearms, shoulders, etc) before spraying to ensure the entire model is evenly coated. How do some of you guys hold those individual pieces up when spraying? Do you use blu tack with a toothpick or some...

Thanks alot! ! ! Huckebein, here I come! 8) Edit: By the way, how are the kits? My experience on modeling is only limited to the Bandai Gundam kits, and I'm kinda wondering if there would be a major difference - - i.e. manuals not being as simple to follow as Bandai's; quality ain't as good; and et...

Thanks ulnhyrr.

I've actually taken a glimpse at your site before from the link in the stickied thread, but I wanted to know more about why things are used as well as the correct techniques in using them.

Hi, I've been reading some tutorials about airbrushing and painting in general and was wondering what was the purpose of mixing paint with thinner? Is it just to make the paint easier to apply? What's the ratio of thinner and paint? Do the color charts that come with a model imply a thinner is used?...

Brilliant, and such a fine command of the English language too.

KIRA: (Between sobs) He, ahughhh! He hit me, ahuhuhghuhgh!

You actually managed to nail that onomatopoeia

Please tell, where did you find a 1/100 or MG kit for $20AU?

Yep, I got the Dante model too. Bought it the moment I saw it on HLJ. So many great poses to display and awesome weapons.

Most "Unpredictable death in Gundam" - Has to be Heine. I mean he was just introduced, fought in his first battle, didn't talk about retiring, no pictures of his girlfriend taped in his cockpit ... Most "Awesome introduction to a new MS" - Freedom, a lot of credit goes to T.M. Revolution. Most "Awes...
