How do you think this garage kit compares to the P-Bandai FM/100 Sword Calamity? Sick build, btw, it looks awesome!
@LiamsHobbyRoom3 күн бұрын
Thank you!! There are 2 ways to answer that question: aesthetically and mechanically. Aesthetically I vastly prefer the look of this resin conversion kit for its sleekness, I feel like it fits in with the SEED look really well. Mechanically, the FM 1/100 is more solid and cohesive, though mine is a bit unstable compared to the resin kit. The modern SEED redesigns are a bit too jagged and gimmicky for my personal taste, but they are definitely nice model kits!

Thank you very much! I made that years ago, the blue was an on-the-fly mixture, I was trying to do something similar to the anime appearance of the RX-78-2 in 0079. The back half of the head is just epoxy putty that I roughly sculpted!

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

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.😊

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 !
@LiamsHobbyRoom3 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 :)
