How to detail missile pod from Balden arms

Hello guys! Since I started modification and customization using Balden Arms, I kinda notice the Missile pod that was included in the pack. Initial reaction it was lame with out the front cover. 

Then it hit me like a raging truck. why not make physical missile heads into those holes to it would look more awesome. It got me thinking how to do this.

Then one day, I realized that the runners (from any kit) mostly have the same diameter as the wholes inside the missile pods. What's better is that runners (i have a stock pile of it) come in different colors.

How to create color plastic plates

Hello there Gunpla fans!! This entry is quite a short one but is equally interesting. I'll teach you to produce colored plastic plates from plastic bottles you see everyday.

I came across this bottle of "mountain dew" with a neon green plastic bottle. Instantly got an idea to use that and even a greater idea when I saw that the middle section of the bottle is cylindrically flat not like other plastic bottles. Tested it out and worked perfectly.

How to make tighter RG shoulders

Hello gunpla fans!!! Here I am with another quick fix to a small problem most RG owners encounter. Some RG kits have a problem holding its own weaponry due to some weight issue. In this case, RG Destiny and relatively other RG kits having the same inner frames as RG Destiny.

Specially with the RG Destiny, he usually can't hold the Arondight anti ship sword properly due the weight of the sword. Studying the problem, I found out that the problem occurs in the shoulder joint of the inner frame. With the large sword's weight, it can no longer support compared to the beam rifle and other small weapons.


So here's what we will do...

How to make RG base connectors fit any base

Hey guys, here I am again with another quick yet essential fix to a common problem we all might encounter.

Today will handle the RG connectors included in each RG kit. What's with it you ask? well, Bandai designed them, specially the early ones, to be use with Bandai's Action Base 2. The connectors were designed to fit the square peg of the base.

Bandai then figured out that this is kinda troublesome and starting RG 14 Strike Freedom, they redesigned the connector to have another hole that will fit the cylindrical peg most bases have.

How to add articulation to the waist using HGBC Balden Arm Arms

Hello! here I am again to add value to you gunpla life. :D

This entry is considered part of the restoration entries for old HG kits. The first two were the earlier two entries. A bit of info about this entry, we'll tackle more on the waist articulation. Yes, we did the shoulder-arm articulation, added leg articulation specifically to widen the leg stance. all we need to do is add articulation on the waist as well for a more dynamic, dramatic and lifelike poses.

How to widen the leg articulation

Hi guys! here's a short entry for you. This might be short but it might help you a lot.

This is quite simple really. I'll show you how to make the legs articulate wider than its standard design. I'm still referring to old HG kits that have limited leg articulation. I do understand that some of them can do a wide stance while standing, but the problem lies when you do an action pose where the legs are kept in an awkward position that's not worth taking pictures of.

How to use HGBC Balden Arm Arms to add articulation

Hey there!! here's another entry for you guys to try and do for you old HG kits. I came across this idea when Bandai announced the release of HGBC Balden arm arms. Looking at their prototype pictures, idea struck me and formulated on how to do this customization. All I needed to do is wait for its release and use it to upgrade my HG 105 Dagger.

One note for you guys, before doing this, I would like to point out that for every custom you do, DON'T be afraid to destroy or ruin your kit, because you'll make it better after. And if you're afraid that you can't make it better, well, that's why this blog was created. To help you guys throughout the modification.
