I've looked at these a long time ago and was very close to buying them. My big worry was that they were going to be too big. Based on what I see in this video they are indeed HUGE, so I wouldn't have had any actual use for them.

I had the foot on the table then pushed the leg down on the joint. I had to use quite a bit of force. Just make sure you aren't getting any armour pieces in the way when connecting the foot.

A small piece of adhesive sponge tape applied to each of the yellow pads on the clamp will help stop the bottle flying out. You can even put a hole in the end that takes the pointed lid, the same as you've done with the pad itself.

Very cool. I would rather there be one larger ship than two smaller ships. At first I thought one could paint one as Reinhard's white Brunhild and one could be Siegfried's red Barbarossa. However I just checked the Gineipaedia website and the Barbarossa is cosmetically different from the Brunhild.

Impressive effort! I really like the lighting ideas. You can make superglue more brittle by putting the item in the freezer for some hours. Some time ago I bought some built-but-unpainted Galleon tanks, and after a day in the freezer they fell apart cleanly, not even the guns pinned into the chassis posed a problem.

im very new to these types of models(i have made loads of human miniatures before like from warhammer), and im very intimidated by this one. Do you airbrush everything(i dont have one yet)? is there a type of glue that you kind of need for these types of models? how do you make things shiny? do you need to prime a base layer? im just very scared
@tomobrouns85863 ай бұрын
why did you attach things and afterwards masking everything instead of leaving things seperated, then paint them, and then attach them?
@duckplayingchicken3 ай бұрын
Yes I predominantly use an airbrush for models. I find that this gives me the most consistent colour coverage. There is nothing stopping you from using a brush to paint models like this but that is something I am not confident doing. Styrene cement is the type of glue I use. This welds the plastic together ensuring a solid joint. Yes I prime all my models with a surface primer. This allows the colour paint to stick better to the surface. It may help to check out my video on the tools I use kzbin.info/www/bejne/enPMqKR5bamAh7c
@duckplayingchicken3 ай бұрын
You can paint everything separately and then glue it together rather than masking. The thing to watch out for is that the glue doesn't ruin your paint. Depending on the quality of the model you may find some of the joins may have gaps if they are not glued. Remember we all start somewhere. If you can get your hands on a small cheap model to practice on can also help.

I have just about every model of the Godphoenix ever made, including these two - which I haven't built because I'm just not great at painting models and want to have it done by someone professionally - but I agree that proportionally, the Wave model is just about as close as it gets, with a few notable exceptions. 1) The lines all over the place - none of those were present in the anime, so I just don't know why model makers felt compelled to add them! Makes no sense. 2) The central "tail" formed by the G-1 coming in is the correct proportion for that ship coming in, but doesn't match up with how the assembled G-5 Godphoenix looked, where the central tail was a lot larger. That's why on the Academy model and others have interchangeable tails and/or artificially larger on G-1 than normally shown. Personally I'd prefer to see the large tail and don't have G-1 separate at all, or any of the other ships, for that matter. 3) Here, the front red 'chevron' is not angled inward as sharply as it should be, that angle should be more acute. But again, these are minor nit-picks and this Wave model nails all the other proportions and scale the best of all of them.
