my Kampfer HG is the first kit i want to try customizing and painting when I'm ready, I NEED to know how you did you Mono Eye Joint please! I love how the darkness of the interior of the head makes for a optical illusion where it looks like the eye is following you as it spins
@LiamsHobbyRoom 4 күн бұрын
Thanks! I don't think I can explain it any clearer than I do in the video? Mono eye mod starts at 2:30 - it's just hollowing out the inside and gluing a ball joint up in there!

Thanks! Not sure, it hasn't been in production for a long time. That means you'd be getting it on secondary market, so probably very expensive.

También tengo ese kit, aunque mis habilidades de modificación se limitan a la destrucción de aerógrafos por no saber cómo utilizarlos (llevo 2 y voy por el tercero), por lo que solo llegué a pintar la mayoría de detalles con pintura acrílica y usando solo pincel, por lo que mi trabajo de pintura es espantosamente burdo

Yeah, they have limited articulation, but by manipulating the skirt armor they get a bigger range of movement.

Hey guys! Lincoln or “Link” was actually the one non-Japanese member of the creative team working with Kow Yokoyama the creator of Maschinen Krieger. He’s also the author of AKs Sci Fi FAQ book (a bible for any sci fi modeller) and one of the last great proponents for Ma.K kits in the west. He’s suffered a stroke recently and if you appreciate his work I recommend going to his personal website where he has kits and other awesome Ma.K lit that he’s produced and sourced from Japan. John Bias is also an awesome modeller and a member of the Plastic Posse Podcast one of my favorites and one of the few podcasts I listen to. You guys can listen to them on just about any platform they interview everyone from Night Shift and LPJ models to others in the armor, air, and sci Fi modelling communities!

It looks like you could take a Leo and take chunks of it to improve the articulation. The forearms seem the big one there since it looks like from, at least, the elbow down and the hands are, essentially, the Leo ones. If you use the NPD Leo for the parts, there is also the clear eye piece which looks like it could also work. I might grab a NPD and a space Leo...eye piece from the Space Leo shifts to the body of the NPD, because the head and a few other parts can be swapped for the EWAC Leo conversion, then the clear eye piece originally with the NPD along with the arms would work with the Tragos, while the rest of the NPD gets re-used for a custom for a D-Unit from G-Unit
@LiamsHobbyRoom 24 күн бұрын
You could definitely use Leo parts to improve the articulation, though you'd have to be careful with modifying the resin parts, the material isn't as forgiving as polystyrene is!

I noticed on the wings that you painted the section that holds the main wings in place that you painted it blue and the original color was yellow and those kind of oval shaped details on the red wings were red but originally they were white, did you do that on purpose to make it your own color scheme or was it by accident? Nonetheless it looks great. Happy building.😊

@purslanecampion3104 Ай бұрын
Hey Liam cheers for the video! Could you clarify your pipeline please? So after priming you do a base coat which is a darker colour of the main coat? E.g. dark red over black primer, and you also kinda leave the dark edges even on base coat? Then you do the main coat which is the 'main' e.g. red colour, and on top of that highlight if needed? Thanks !
@LiamsHobbyRoom Ай бұрын
Absolutely, correct: my base coat is a darker shade of what my main coat will be. However, in the style I use I try not to completely cover the edges with any of the coats so the black primer shows a little underneath. The main coat and the highlight are both closer to the centre (or just above the centre depending on where you want the light to be strongest) which helps with a gradual gradient all the way to the darker edges. It may not be realistic, but I find it really pleasing to look at :)

Surprised you didn't separate the front skirts so they can move independently. I don't really mod gunpla but I always do that lol
@LiamsHobbyRoom 2 ай бұрын
In my cabinet, all my kits do the standing Katoki pose so I can see all the work I've done on them, which means they have to be posed symmetrically. The problem with separating the front skirts is also the boon of doing so, i.e. they don't sit symmetrically and are easy to knock off centre. It's something I used to do a lot, but found that unless I want to photograph the kit in a specific pose that requires it, it just looks a little too messy for my tastes.
